How to play Partivity! on Mac

Game summary

Description Partivity is a classic party game played by 2–6 teams where you try to guess as many words as you can in one minute. Every round has 5 difficulties; starting with “baby” difficulty all the way to “nightmare”. The amount of points earned for each successful guess depends on the selected activity – describing, drawing, or pantomime. For example, describing is the easiest one, so for each successful guess you will get only one point. However, in the case of pantomime you get three points per word. Each round, you can pick which activity to do. You can decide to play it safe and choose to describe all the time, though if your opponents ace the harder activities, they will most likely beat you. You can keep up with your current standing by checking team scores depicted as cute progress bars with each team’s color at the bottom of the screen. They show which team is closer to earning fifty points and winning the game. To see who is the reigning Partivity champion among your friends, you can check out the previous games section for the history of all played games along with each game’s winner. If you are up to the task of snatching their champion title, just tap the rematch button and the game is on. Features Play in two to six teams with as many people as you like. Pause the game just by closing the app and continue whenever you feel like it. Recreate teams from previous games to beat the last winner. Increasing difficulty with each successful guess. Team scores visible at a glance with cute progress bars. 6 supported languages: English, Spanish, Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Czech and Slovak.

Play Partivity! on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Partivity! on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
