With the current state of the world, many of us will be home this year for the holidays. Instead of those exciting family vacations over school break, or traveling out to visit friends and family, we’ll be enjoying that time at home. If you’re like me, it can be difficult to come up with fun and safe ideas for your family and friends to spend time together. And you may think that staying local is boring, since you’ve seen and done it all already. Well, let me tell you, you’d be surprised. Let’s talk about staying home for the holidays with Let’s Roam.

My Thoughts
If you’re a reader of Mom Does Reviews, you may be thinking to yourself, haven’t you already introduced us to Let’s Roam before? And the answer is yes! I first shared this exciting site for adventure back when school was moving to more of a home based learning experience. But now that the holiday break is upon us, I thought I’d also share how to use these fun and game ideas again. But this time? We can be home for the holidays with Let’s Roam!
The process is really easy to get started. First, visit the Let’s Roam website and sign up for a free account. Secondly, you’ll be directed to download their app from the Google Play or Apple Store. Then once you set up the app, you can select your activity, purchase tickets, and get going! Each person in the group will have a “role to play”. These roles are the Explorer, Brainiac, Photographer, or children. Depending on the role you are assigned, you will have challenges or trivia to solve as you look for the next stop in the route. There is something for everyone!
Now, what if you are staying home to stay healthy, or if the weather is too bad to go out? That’s easy. Go to the Let’s Roam website and check out their other options for in home fun! Choose from packages like Virtual Game Night, Family Scratch Off Adventures, Family Scavenger Hunt, or Date Night Scavenger Hunt!
Let’s Roam Virtual Game Night
Virtual Game Night seems like it’s very popular right now, especially with the colder weather and social distancing requirements. Don’t worry, you won’t need any special software, Let’s Roam takes care of that for you. All you need is your laptop or phone, a webcam, and your sense of humor to have a good time! You compete with your friends virtually on games that you picked together. Simply log into your account, click a single button to invite friends and family members, pick your game, and start playing. You can play games like Trivia, Emoji Decoding, Guess the Drawing, and more. It’s all done online so you can be in your PJs, have something to snack on, and enjoy a fun time without ever leaving the house. Plus there are new games each week.
If you have family that feels “stuck” at home, then definitely check out the Family Scratch Off Adventure. It’s a book with 50 adventures for your family to discover that you literally “scratch off” in the book! These could be things like a list of items to find, questions to ask one another, or get out and explore. Plus you can modify each activity so that it suits your family size, budget, weather concerns, and more. It’s a great way for spending time as a family, strengthening those bonds, and having a fun time. Perfect for the holidays.
Lots of outside activities
Another great way to spend time as a family while having fun is the Family Scavenger Hunt. You won’t need any supplies and you can do it at any time, day or night. All you need is your phone or tablet, the app, and your home! Complete challenges, answer trivia questions, make silly sounds and faces, and so much more. This is meant to be family-friendly competition, as well as allow for spending time together while staying safe and warm at home. Each scavenger hunt lasts about an hour. But you can always pause it and come back to it later to complete it.
If it’s date night, there’s also a Couples Scavenger Hunt to enjoy from home, too! Simply plan to stay in, get to know each other in new ways, and have that date night experience from the comfort of home. It takes about an hour to complete. You will ask questions and complete romantic challenges, all in the name of learning more about each other and having fun. Date night at home doesn’t have to be the same old thing, just fire up the app and get started!
As we get back “out” into the world, or the holidays are over and the weather improves, Let’s Roam still has a ton of ideas to get outside for fun! From discovering local landmarks and hidden gems in your own backyard or learning your way around a new city, be sure to check out the 350+ cities available to explore. You can also set up a custom event for a birthday party, corporate team building, or even bachelor/bachelorette parties!
