During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people found themselves missing social interaction and turned to online platforms to connect with friends and family. The idea of hosting virtual events such as Zoom quizzes, online dance parties, and celebrating birthdays and weddings through a screen may have seemed daunting at first. However, as the world shut down and social activities became limited, an entirely new generation of entertainment was born.
In addition to the usual online activities like bingo, individuals started to experience virtual raves and dance parties, online happy hours featuring cocktails delivered to homes, remote potluck dinner parties, and even virtual speed dating events and weddings. These virtual events provided a sense of fun and connection, allowing people to stay social while maintaining physical distance. As the world adjusted to new ways of socializing, these virtual gatherings became a creative and innovative solution for maintaining connections during challenging times.
