If you’re craving a little quality time with your friends and family without leaving your Highlands Ranch apartment, we have good news — there are plenty of virtual tools at your disposal. Whether you’re looking to participate in a group activity or just chat, here are three ways to connect with your friends and family from home.
Video Chat
When text-based chatting or talking on the phone isn’t enough, video chat can bridge the gap. There are many options out there. FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Skype, and Zoom are just a few services that allow you to see a friendly face while you catch up. Some of these services work better with just two people, while others, like Zoom, are designed to work smoothly with groups of people. You can go on a date, have lunch with friends, or host a happy hour, all without leaving your home.
Play a Game
Gaming offers lots of opportunities to connect with friends. Both console and computer games, ranging from Minecraft to FPS games, let you connect in-game and play together. You can even play more traditional games together, such as Words With Friends. Or for an edgier time, check out one of several sites (such as Azala) where you can play Cards Against Humanity online. If you have a Nintendo Switch, you can also play Animal Crossing and visit your friends’ islands.
Watch a Movie Together
Who says you and your friends can’t go to a movie together, even while you’re all at home? Thanks to Netflix Party, you can synchronize any show or movie on Netflix so you can watch together in real-time. And, unlike in a regular theater, you won’t have to worry about being quiet — Netflix Party includes text-based chat.
With all of today’s technology, being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely. Enjoy the company of your friends and family from the comfort of your home with these virtual tools. Contact us today to find out more about our apartments in Highlands Ranch.
