The Twelve Games of Christmas

If your Christmas plans have had to be shelved with the elf, Friday Afternoons has you covered with The Twelve Games of Christmas.

Every day between Sunday 13th and Thursday 24th December a new game will be added to the website. Some are showstopping main presents while others are stocking fillers (I'm looking at you "That's a Wrap"), but they all have one thing in common - each of them can be played over a group video call.

So if your usual friend and family gatherings can't go ahead this year, get everyone together on WhatsApp, Zoom, or any other video calling platform and enjoy some socially distant festivities.
