玩刺激的VR 游戏(VR games)或身临其境的 PC 单人游戏(PC single-player games)很有趣，但有时您可能想玩一些更简单的东西。游戏可能过于耗时且要求很高，那么为什么不寻找有趣的游戏来与您的朋友一起玩文字游戏呢？
在本文中，我们将介绍一些通过SMS玩的最有趣的短信游戏。您所需要的只是一部智能手机，而且它甚至不必是花哨的。(All)所以发挥创意，玩得开心！
1. 我是间谍
几代人的最爱，经常在家庭旅行中播放，I Spy 可以通过短信播放。找一个感兴趣的物体，让你的朋友猜猜你的眼睛注视着什么。通过描述你在哪里并给他们你选择的对象的第一个字母来提醒他们。您可以限制您的朋友猜测的频率，或在每个错误答案后给他们更多线索。
2. 我从来没有
Never Have I Ever是另一款熟悉的游戏，通常面对面玩，但在通过短信或Whatsapp等聊天应用玩时效果很好。只需(Just)发送一条短信说“我从来没有过”，然后添加一条关于您以前从未做过的事情的声明。请记住，您想让游戏变得有趣，因此请考虑一些肮脏、轻浮、秘密或愚蠢的事情。
Never Have I Ever主要是作为一个饮酒游戏来玩的，这很难通过文字来完成，但想其他有趣的方式来惩罚那些给出肯定答案的朋友。例如，要求他们将最愚蠢的照片发送到群聊或在社交媒体上发布尴尬的故事。
3. 琐事问题
Trivia Questions是一款很棒的派对游戏，您可以选择一个类别，从中抽出问题来通过文字向您的朋友提问。通过发明积分(Spice)系统为游戏增添趣味，并用简单的礼物奖励您的朋友，例如为获胜者购买饮料。您可以询问有关电影、音乐、游戏世界或您和您的朋友的任何共同点的问题。
4. 缩写
这个简单的游戏是通过向您的朋友发送带有句子缩写的短信来玩的，他们需要猜测完整的句子是什么。您可以使用句子来描述您在特定时刻正在做什么或您在想什么。例如，如果您将“IBANI”发送给您的朋友，他们需要弄清楚您是在说“我要买一部新 iPhone”。
这个游戏和你朋友的创造力一样有趣，你甚至可以期待收到一些粗鲁的回答。每次他们无法猜出您的缩写时，通过发送更多信件来帮助您的朋友。
5. 亲吻、结婚、杀戮
说出三个人的名字，名人或您认识的人，甚至电影角色，并询问您的朋友他们会亲吻、结婚和杀死谁。通过命名您知道您的朋友喜欢的人或他们不喜欢的人来为游戏增添趣味。(Spice)请注意，所有这些都必须是开玩笑的。最终目标是玩得开心，而不是冒犯任何人。
6.表情翻译
表情符号翻译是通过(Emoji Translation)短信(SMS)或群聊玩的最好的短信游戏之一。向您的朋友发送完全由表情符号组成的短信。他们的任务是解释您的信息并发回他们的答案。有这么多可用的表情符号，游戏的唯一限制是你的想象力。期待一些有趣的答案，并根据谁最接近您想到的句子来选择获胜者。
7. 你愿意吗
《Would You rather》在Reddit(Reddit)上非常火爆，是一款完美的长跑游戏。以“你更喜欢 x 还是 y”的形式向你的朋友提出有趣的问题，然后用有趣的东西填空。举个例子：“你是愿意和Chuck Norris在你身边对抗 100 名忍者，还是在你身边和Chuck Norris对抗100 名忍者？”。请您的朋友解释他们的选择，并期望阅读他们古怪的答案会很有趣。
8. 故事时间
也称为Story Builder，这是一款非常有创意的游戏。正如您可能从游戏名称中猜到的那样，您和您的朋友需要轮流一次写一个句子来发展故事。故事可以随心所欲。你甚至可以在几天或几周内建立它，看看你能走多远。
或者，您可以逐字逐句而不是句子，但是“故事时间”游戏的这种变体要长得多。从简单的事情开始，例如“从前(Once)……”，您的朋友会立即上手游戏。
9. 我在哪里？
与“我的间谍(Spy)”一样，“我在哪里(Where Am)”游戏是通过给您的朋友发短信并要求他们确定您的位置来玩的。您需要通过短信(SMS)或聊天来描述您的周围环境以及您所看到的内容，但要保持简单，这样您就不会泄露太多信息。例如，如果您在麦当劳的得来速餐厅，只需输入“食物(Food)、汽车、小丑”，让您的朋友猜测您在哪里。
10.真心话大冒险
每个人都知道“真心话(Truth)大冒险”游戏，通过短信(SMS)或群聊玩同样有趣。让你的朋友选择真心话大冒险，然后等待他们的回答。如果他们说“真相”，这很容易，只要问他们任何问题。但如果他们选择“敢”，你就必须更有创意。给他们一个有趣的，也许有点尴尬的任务，并要求一张照片或视频来证明它已经完成。
11. 歌曲歌词
要玩这个游戏，你和你的朋友需要至少有相似的音乐品味。歌曲歌词(Lyrics)是一款游戏，您可以在其中将歌曲中的一行文字发短信，然后让您的朋友猜出它来自哪首歌。之后(Afterward)，您可以通过给歌曲中的下一行发短信来回。
12. 刽子手
传统上，刽子手(Hangman)是用纸和笔来玩的，很难想象没有一个悬垂的小木棍被吊死的游戏。但如果你仔细想想，刽子手通常在画出整个简笔画之前有六次猜测。
限制(Limit)您的朋友必须尝试多少次才能找到正确答案，这样您就不需要笔和纸了。用下划线向您的朋友发送短信(SMS)，当他们用您想象的单词中的注释回答时，再次发送下划线，并在正确的位置使用正确的字母。
13. 不受欢迎的意见
并非所有人都是一样的，每个人对特定主题都有不同的看法。但有些想法很受欢迎，这意味着大多数人都同意。例如，“Unpopular Opinion”游戏将让您对每个人似乎都喜欢的电影表达不同的感受。
向您的朋友、亲人或家人发送短信，说“不受欢迎的意见：漫威(Marvel)系列很烂”，然后等待他们的答复。许多人将流行和不流行的观点视为个人观点，因此请注意不要冒犯任何人。一般来说，他们应该在激烈的辩论后以不受欢迎的意见来回答你的信息。
14. 谜语
谜语是一款多功能游戏，您可以在任何平台上玩。这非常适合短信和群聊，当您与伴侣或朋友一起玩时尤其有趣。给他们发短信给他们你最喜欢的谜语，或者从Subreddits获得一些灵感。当你的对手给出正确答案时，轮到你回答一个。
15. 如果？
“如果？” 对于想象力丰富的人和喜欢做白日梦的人来说，这是一款完美的游戏。将自己和您的朋友、配偶或孩子置于想象的情境中，并询问他们在特定情境中会做什么。他们的回答可能会让您大吃一惊，并且您可以了解有关您所爱之人的新知识。在他们回答后，他们可以将同样的问题直接问你，也可以问你一个新问题。

15 Games to Play Over Text With Friends
Playing stimulating VR games or immersive PC single-player games is fun, but sometimes you might want to mess around with something simpler. Games can be too time-consuming and demanding, so why not look for fun games to play over text with your friends?
In this article, we’ll look at some of the most fun texting games to play via SMS. All you need is a smartphone, and it doesn’t even have to be a fancy one. So get creative and have some fun!
1. I Spy
A favorite of all generations and often played during family trips, I Spy can be played via text messages. Find an object of interest and ask your friends to guess what your eyes are fixed on. Give them a heads up by describing where you are and giving them the first letter of the object you chose. You can limit how often your friends can guess or give them more clues after each wrong answer.
2. Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is another familiar game usually played face-to-face but works well when played over text messages or chat apps like Whatsapp. Just send a text saying “Never have I ever” and add a statement about something you never did before. Keep in mind that you want to make the game fun, so think about something dirty, flirty, secret, or silly.
Never Have I Ever is mainly played as a drinking game, which is hard to do through text but think of other fun ways to punish your friends who give a positive answer. For example, ask them to send the silliest photo to the group chat or publish an embarrassing story on social media.
3. Trivia Questions
Trivia Questions is a great party game played by choosing a category from which you would draw questions to ask your friends over text. Spice up the game by inventing a point system and award your friends with simple gifts such as buying a drink for the winner. You can ask questions about movies, music, the gaming world, or whatever you and your friends have in common.
4. Abbreviations
This simple game is played by sending your friends a text message with the abbreviation of a sentence, and they need to guess what the full sentence is. You can use sentences that describe what you are doing at the given moment or what you’re thinking. For example, if you send “IBANI” to your friends, they need to figure out that you’re saying, “I’m buying a new iPhone.”
This game is as fun as the creativity of your friend, and you can expect to receive even some rude answers. Help your friends out by sending more letters each time they fail to guess your abbreviation.
5. Kiss, Marry, Kill
Name three people, either celebrities or someone you know, or even movie characters, and ask your friends who they would kiss, marry, and kill. Spice up the game by naming someone you know your friend has a crush on or someone they dislike. Be mindful that all of this must be in jest. The end goal is to have fun, not to offend anyone.
6. Emoji Translation
Emoji Translation is one of the best texting games to be played via SMS or group chats. Send your friends a text message entirely made of emojis. Their task is to interpret your message and send back their answer. There are so many emojis available, and the only limit to the game is your imagination. Expect some funny answers and choose the winner based on who came the closest to the sentence you had in mind.
7. Would You Rather
“Would You Rather” is very popular on Reddit, and it is a perfect long-distance game. Ask your friends fun questions in the form “would you rather x or y” and fill in the blanks with something fun. Here’s an example: “Would you rather fight 100 ninjas with Chuck Norris at your side, or fight Chuck Norris with 100 ninjas by your side?”. Ask your friends to explain their choice and expect to have fun reading their quirky answers.
8. Story Time
Also known as Story Builder, this is a very creative game. As you probably guessed by the name of the game, you and your friends need to develop a story by taking turns writing one sentence at a time. The story can go as long as you wish. You can even build it up over days or weeks and see how far you can take it.
Alternatively, you can go word by word instead of sentences, but this variation of the “Story Time” game is much longer. Start with something simple such as ”Once upon a time…” and your friends will immediately pick up the game.
9. Where Am I?
Like “I Spy,” the “Where Am I” game is played by texting your friends and asking them to identify your location. You will need to describe your surroundings and what you see via SMS or chat, but keep it simple, so you don’t give away too much information. For example, if you are at McDonald’s drive-thru, simply type “Food, car, clown” and let your friends guess where you are.
10. Truth or Dare
Everyone knows the “Truth or Dare” game, and it can be equally fun when played via SMS or group chats. Ask your friends to choose truth or dare and wait for their answer. If they say “truth”, which is the easy part, just ask them any question. But you will have to be more creative if they choose “dare”. Give them a fun, maybe slightly embarrassing task, and ask for a photo or a video that proves it was completed.
11. Song Lyrics
To play this game, you and your friends need to have at least similar tastes in music. Song Lyrics is a game in which you will text a line from a song and then have your friend guess which song it is from. Afterward, you can go back and forth by texting the next line in the song.
12. Hangman
Traditionally, Hangman is played with pen and paper, and it is difficult to imagine the game without a little dangling stick figure being hanged. But if you think about it, a hangman usually has six guesses before the whole stick figure is drawn.
Limit how many attempts your friend has to find the correct answer, and you won’t need a pen and paper. Send an SMS to your friend with underscores where letters should be and when they answer with a note in the word you imagined, send the underscores again with a correct letter in the right location.
13. Unpopular Opinion
Not all people are the same, and each person has a different opinion on a particular topic. But some ideas are popular, meaning the majority of people share them. The game “Unpopular Opinion” will allow you to voice different feelings about a movie everyone seems to like, for example.
Send a text message to your friends, loved ones, or family saying, “Unpopular opinion: the Marvel franchise sucks,” and wait for their answer. Many people take popular and unpopular opinions personally, so be mindful not to offend anyone. In general, they should answer your message with an unpopular opinion after a stark debate.
14. Riddles
Riddles are a versatile game that you can play on any platform. This is perfect for text messages and group chats and especially fun when you play it with your partner or friends. Text them your favorite riddle or get some inspiration from Subreddits. When your opponent gives a correct answer, it’s your turn to answer one.
15. What If?
“What If?” is the perfect game for those with a rich imagination and those who love daydreaming. Put yourself and your friends, spouse, or kids in an imagined situation and ask them what they would do in that given scenario. Their replies might surprise you, and you can learn something new about your loved ones. After they answer, they can either direct the same question to you or ask you a new one.
