December is a time spent with family and friends for the holidays, but with that also comes the obligatory office party, which could mean one too many cocktails and a ton of small talk. To avoid any potential awkward tension, we’ve gathered six apps you will need at your office holiday party.
KnockToCall
Escape a dull conversation by faking an incoming phone call from the app KnockToCall. Yes, that’s right; you’ll no longer have to text a friend to save you. For $1.99, the app gives you the option to make a fake outgoing call by tapping once or you can knock on your phone while it’s in your pocket with the app open to activate a timer that makes an incoming call.
Vivino
You can expect to find an assortment of wines at a holiday party, some of which you may not know much about. To make your small talk more interesting, Vivino is an app where you can snap a photo of the nearest wine bottle and it will tell you all about the varietal. The app will also tell you which foods pair best with your wine and where to get the best price for that particular bottle.
Happn
Happn is an app that reminds you if you’ve crossed paths with someone before, so long as that person has the app too. When you see them, their profile and the number of times you’ve encountered them shows up on your happn timeline. It tells you when and where you first interacted or saw them, which can be helpful for those familiar faces you may have forgotten the names to.
Hypotheticals
For a fun ice breaker, Hypotheticals is a free app that gives you hypothetical situations such as “would you rather” questions and situational propositions to make conversations between co-workers exciting. You might even be surprised by some responses.
Trivia Crack
Test your coworkers’ knowledge with the Trivia Crack app, which features an array of questions about entertainment, science, history, geography, art, and sports. You’ll get 25 rounds to earn six characters and declare yourself winner against a random or chosen opponent.
Uber
The renowned Uber app is the perfect tool to use for an emergency holiday escape. It helps you avoid waiting for taxis or carpooling with coworkers that you may be trying to dodge; you can even drink copious amounts of alcohol with a guaranteed ride home. Simply choose your current location and request an Uber.
