Don’t have a drawing board or even another person to play Pictionary with?. Why not a game with an artificial intelligence? Yes, this is a real thing! Quick Draw is an online browser-based game that allows you to draw a series of objects while the AI tries to guess what you are drawing. Your goal is to draw as accurately as possible so that AI recognizes your drawing before the time runs out. It’s simple and downright addictive. You can spend hours without getting bored. And if you don’t want to play with an A.I, simply hop on a virtual conference call to play with your friends!

Go to Random Places on Google Maps

If you’re like most people stuck at home, you can’t help but look out the window and feel defeated. All your travel plans for the near future are canceled, and all you can do is imagine visiting that beach or the beautiful mountain retreat. Thanks to Google Street View you can pretty much visit any tourist place on Earth. Of course, it’s not anything like traveling and it can never possibly come close to replacing the feeling you get when you pack your bags and head out, but it’s all you got right now. Why not do a 7 Wonders of the World tour using Street View? If you want to discover random locations on earth, try websites like MapCrunch that randomly drops you in different locations on Earth.
