Best Android party games for screen mirroring?

[Dougmeister]

Does anyone know any good group/party games that we could play using an Android phone and a compatible TV/Blu-ray player?

I'm especially looking for drawing ("Pictionary") and trivia games, but open to all suggestions.

The ability to play in Landscape mode is a big plus.

Taking turns in a 1st person shooter would be okay, too.

With the new chromecast you can do something like this. The tv screen becomes the "board" and each player's device becomes a "player" - really just a means to interact with the board. A few games have this already. I think pictionary is among them.

I believe there's "big screen" versions of Risk, Life and Monopoly. Not sure about other games.

There's a version of cards against humanity as well, but it's not official. The name is different and it currently escapes me.

maybe jackbox and jackbox 2. everyone would need to connect to the game on their own phone/tablet. I keep around some cheap $5 prepaid phones that I picked up for this purpose.

You don't know Jack, unfortunately you'd have to pay for it but its an excellent game.

If you have 7 people, skip the tv thing and play space team. Where you have a group of people telling each other what buttons and levers to push/pull. If you buy the extended version in the app then you are able to have two groups play together and all you need is one person to buy it.

Bomb Squad is a pretty decent one.
