Codenames
Codenames is a fun game that really emphasizes lateral thinkers who can make unique connections between words, and risk takers who trust their team to put the pieces together. There's a lot of really interesting social play where you not only need to think of clues that connect many words, but also that your teammates would understand, and that also avoid drawing undesirable connections.
One of the arguable downsides of Codenames when compared to other multiplayer games is that you can't really do much actual communicating with the other players. The codemasters can't talk because anything they say could be seen as a clue, and often you don't want to talk when it isn't your turn as the guesser because you don't want to give ideas to your opponents. So, on the sociability scale for games that might be played at parties, this isn't very high. Where something like Secret Hitler forces interaction between all players, Codenames encourages (or for the codemasters requires) you to play all of your information as closely to your chest as possible. Strategically this lends the game a lot of depth, but it makes it slightly less appealing for some people who want to socialize with others during their games. Still, this is an undeniably fun time.

SecretHitler.io
An all time classic social deduction game. It really is remarkable just how much great social tension and deduction this game can generate with such a simple ruleset. It's always a fun time with friends, and it's easy to see why it's so popular.
As a digital adaptation, Secret Hitler makes the jump perfectly. While physical pieces are nice, the core of Secret Hitler is in the socialization and deduction, and that is still present even without the physical pieces. The game works remarkably well, and this simple but effective adaptation makes it really convenient to play with online friends.
