Made a platform for party/drinking games over Zoom.

https://ziago.co

Games run on Realtime Firebase DB, so players join with a link and everyone is kept updated with game flow and other player actions etc.

So far had 10000 people play, and has 9 games and still working on more. The focus for now is on social/turn-based kind of games.

Runs on Vue and Firebase. FB helped me to launch it in a month. Wrote about it at https://codeburst.io/how-i-built-a-real-time-games-platform-...

Cool! Will have to check that out. I've been doing "happy hour" with a handful of friends in multiple countries each Friday and mostly I just screen share one of the Jackbox games (the "You Don't Know Jack" people). Video and audio is sent from my PC and people use their phones as a "buzzer".

Still, despite having multiple games available, I'm always glad to test out some other options.

Great, would love to hear any feedback!
Looks awesome, I've been recently playing Jackbox over Zoom with friends and was hoping to find something different. Will check it out.
Thanks, hope you like it!
