Having video calling alternatives to maintain remote communication has become an imperative in these uncertain days.
In the market there are several options , some safe and others not so much, and for this reason users who do not settle for the usual are looking for apps that meet their needs and offer a plus.
One of them is Houseparty , a social networking app that belongs to Epic Games -developer company of Fortnite- and that, as can be inferred from this situation, offers its members the possibility of playing while they are in a distance audiovisual conversation .
To learn more about it, we spoke with Alejandro Hernández , Publishing Lead for Epic Games in Latin America, who from the outset told us that Houseparty works more as a social network that facilitates face-to-face communication in an intuitive way, proposing fun connection moments.
He clarified that the notion of social network does not obey concepts such as followers, but the ease with which you have access to the friends of our contacts .
“It is as the name says in English. I have a party at my house, I invite you and maybe you come with friends and they are welcome , and I myself can decide if in the future I want to continue seeing your friends or if I no longer want to receive them at my house, “ says Alejandro .
It is just this ease of “entering the houses” that makes Houseparty stand out. If we see that any of our contacts are online and in a chat room, we can get into it – as long as it has been left open – with everything and other contacts, because, in Alejandro’s words, it is an opportunity to meet more people .
Up to eight people can be in the same room talking, having fun and playing , since Houseparty has native games that make living at a distance even more enjoyable.
Heads Up !, Trivia, Chips and Guac, Quick Draw! and Word Race are the games available for users to have fun dynamics of riddles, questions, drawing and more.
The app is free and, unlike other options, it presumes no advertising .
Houseparty is available on iOS and Android .
