About the Games

All games are free to play. However, some games need to be downloaded before you can play.

The top two players of each game will receive $25. The winner of each category will be determined by who has the most points or wins the most rounds at the end of multiple elimination games.

About “Among Us”

Among Us is a 4-10 player game where crewmates manage and repair a spaceship while an “imposter” attempts to kill everyone without being caught and eliminated. This game is fun for all who enjoy deceiving others to win or catching the killer in their lies!

To access Among Us, it must be downloaded. It is free if downloaded on a phone through the apps store.

About “JackBoxTV”

JackBoxTV is a platform that allows large groups to participate in a variety of games. Before playing, each game describes the rules, so no previous knowledge is required!

About “One Night Ultimate Werewolf”

One Night Ultimate Werewolf is for 3-10 players and is similar to Mafia. Each person is assigned a role with special abilities, one being the Werewolf. Each night after the abilities have been performed secretly, the players must weed out and eliminate the Werewolf. This is a game full of deception and investigation!

VPS Territorial Acknowledgement

The Victoria Pride Society acknowledges that it organizes and works on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples, and that the land’s historical relationships with the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples have existed since time immemorial. Further to this acknowledgement, the Victoria Pride Society affirms that colonialism, and the attitudes and practices that have accompanied it, contributes to systemic discrimination and violence against Indigenous Peoples.
