Hey MaxFun Fans!
We at MaxFun HQ have been thinking about you a lot. Although we’re all stuck indoors, there are still plenty of ways to have fun online for MaxFun Meetup Day on Tuesday, March 24th.
Instead of hosting a physical MaxFun Meetup in your town, we encourage you to host online gatherings, via Google Hangouts, Skype, Discord, etc. This can be a great way to meet local friends online, so you can meet in person later.
If you are planning to host a MaxFun Meetup, email membership@maximumfun.org with the details, and we’ll add it to our Calendar. Don’t forget to post it in your local MaxFun social media groups!
If you’re looking for a virtual event to join, visit our Calendar or check out the list at the bottom of this post.
Below is a curated list of some ideas for you to enjoy together, remotely:
Play Games with MaxFun Friends!

Visiting places online together:
This can be done via Google Hangouts Meet, with one person acting as presenter.

You can have up to 150 chat participants in a chat meeting, or 25 video participants!
