Online party ideas whilst in lockdown

DS2 is 10 on Friday. He wasn't having a party this year as he had a big one last year with karting. But he was going to have some friends round for pizza. I've tried looking online but not getting far. Does anyone know of any online birthday ideas where I can get his small group of close friends together for a quiz or game or something fun? I could get them together on Zoom to sing happy birthday but looking for something a bit more exciting!

My family and I joined Houseparty on mother's day so that the adult children out of the house could chat with me, dh and the two younger kids at home.
We actually had so much fun. There is a quiz with a few subjects and a pictionary.
We all brought snacks. We had a much needed laugh.

I hope your family has a lovely birthday for your son.

could you send this to each of his friend's via email, and get them to print it off before the party. then, zoom all of them and play a virtual game of bingo? you could also all watch a film together as if all the dc have access to netflix, and download 'netflix party' then they can all watch the same film and chat about it at the same time

I second Houseparty.
We did this at the weekend and DD loved it! Really good fun

Thanks for the ideas, I'll have a look at Houseparty, that sounds good.
A seriously rubbish time to be 10! We have some amazing chocolate brownies being delivered though and will still do pizza.
