If you need a <\/span>fun party game<\/span>, you\u2019ve come to the right place. We\u2019ve tried all of these games and bust them out at every gathering we go to. Our curated list includes <\/span>board games<\/span>, games where you just need a few supplies (like pieces of paper and pens), and games with no supplies needed at all. We have recommendations for all ages and group sizes. Get to it, you\u2019ve got a party to host!<\/span> Scroll through our list of games and grab your favorite idea for your next gathering. These games require either a board game, an app, or some things you can grab around the house. Scroll to the next section for games that don\u2019t need any supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 3 or more<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Kids, teens, and adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials: <\/b>1 plastic cup<\/span><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n All you need is one plastic cup for this <\/span>fun party game<\/span>. Have two players stand facing each other with a cup in between them. A referee calls out commands \u2014 head, shoulders, knees \u2014 in any order, repeating and mixing them up as players put their hands on their own head, shoulders, or knees. When the ref calls \u201ccup,\u201d players must try to grab the cup first. Whoever doesn\u2019t get it is out.<\/span><\/p>\n You can have a <\/span>lot of people<\/span> playing at once in groups of two (with one cup each), culling the group down till you have two left who go head to head in the final battle.<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 6 or more<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Teens or adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials: <\/b>Pieces of paper, pens<\/span><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n There is an official <\/span>board game<\/span> called <\/span>Telestrations<\/a><\/strong>, but you can play it for your <\/span>game night<\/span> with just paper and pens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cut up paper into pieces, and give each player as many pieces as there are people. For example, if there are eight players, each person should have a stack of eight pieces of paper.<\/span><\/p>\n To play, everyone writes a phrase on their first piece of paper. It should be a phrase players would know, like \u201cClean as a whistle\u201d or \u201cKill two birds with one stone.\u201d The other pieces of paper in each person\u2019s stack remain blank.<\/span><\/p>\n All at once, each player passes their whole stack of paper to the person next to them, going clockwise. Everyone looks at the phrase that was passed to them, moves it to the bottom of the pile, and draws their interpretation of the phrase on the next piece of paper.<\/span><\/p>\n Pass the stacks again. The next person looks at the drawing, and writes their interpretation of it (the phrase they think it is) on the next sheet. Keep passing the sheets around and alternating between drawing and writing until you get your original stack back.<\/span><\/p>\n Flip through the sheets and share with one another how the phrase progressed through the series of hilarious drawings. This is one of the <\/span>best party games<\/span> for any group, whether it\u2019s adults, kids, or <\/span>team building<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 3-6<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Kids, teens, and adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials: <\/b>Listography board game<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n We\u2019ve played this board game at <\/span>parties with older folks<\/a><\/strong> or rooms full of game-haters, and everyone ends up having a blast and asking to play again after it ends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Players are given a prompt to make a list, like \u201cthings to bring camping\u201d or \u201cnocturnal animals.\u201d Your goal will either be to match items with as many people as possible, match with no one, or match with just one other player (no more, no less!). Listography is simple and addictive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Grab the game on <\/span>Amazon<\/span> and get ready for a <\/span>lot of fun<\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 6 or more<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Teens or adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials: <\/b>Pieces of paper, pens, and a large bowl<\/span><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n Once you play Fishbowl, it\u2019s all you\u2019ll want to play at parties. It\u2019s a hilarious game that\u2019s a variation of <\/span>charades<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Each participant writes down 3\u20134 words, phrases, or pop culture references on slips of paper and puts them in a bowl. You\u2019ll use those words for three rounds of gameplay:<\/span><\/p>\n Split everyone into two teams.<\/span><\/p>\n For Round 1, set a timer for one minute, a player from the first team will be the clue giver. They\u2019ll draw a piece of paper from the bowl and describe it. Their <\/span>team guesses<\/span> which word is on the slip of paper. Once it\u2019s guessed correctly, they will draw another piece of paper. This keeps going until time runs out.<\/span><\/p>\n Then do the same thing for the second team. Keep alternating teams (with a new clue giver each time) until all the papers have been used.<\/span><\/p>\n For Round 2, put all the papers back in the bowl. Everyone knows what\u2019s on the papers now, so make it a little harder by acting them out. Same as Round 1, each team will take turns and has one minute to get their team to guess as many as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n For Round 3, put all the pieces of paper back in the bowl again. Follow the same pattern, but this time the clue giver can only say one word to try to get the team to guess.<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 2-8<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Kids, teens, or adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials:<\/b> Tapple board game<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n This fast-moving game went viral on social media and becomes addictive once you start playing.<\/span><\/p>\n You get a category, like types of sandwiches or girls\u2019 names. You have 10 seconds to give an answer that starts with one of the letters that surround the circular board. Tap the letter when you say your answer. That letter is now eliminated from the round, and it\u2019s the next <\/span>player\u2019s turn<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n As the round progresses, there will be fewer and fewer letters to choose from. If you can\u2019t think of anything, you\u2019re out. The last person standing wins.<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 3 or more<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials:<\/b> Jackbox Party Pack<\/a><\/strong> and smartphones<\/span><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n Pile around the TV and play Jackbox games, a digital <\/span>group game<\/span> platform that has tons of game packs available. The players just need a phone to join in.<\/span><\/p>\n Quiplash<\/b>, for example, is a battle-of-the-wits game where players get a comedic prompt and have to give the funniest answer, as voted on by other players.<\/span><\/p>\n Fibbage<\/b> is a Balderdash variant where players fill in the blank for a piece of obscure <\/span>trivia<\/span> with their best \u201ctruth,\u201d and the most convincing lie wins.<\/span><\/p>\n Drawful<\/b> is a play on <\/span>Pictionary<\/span> where a player gets an offbeat prompt and has to draw it on their phone screen <\/span>whiteboard<\/span>, then others get to convincingly name that drawing in hopes that other players will think theirs is the real prompt.<\/span><\/p>\n With over 60 games, Jackbox is always fresh and guarantees <\/span>lots of laughs<\/span> for a <\/span>large group<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Group size:<\/b> 3 or more<\/span><\/p>\n Ages:<\/b> Kids or adults<\/span><\/p>\n Materials: <\/b>Varies<\/span><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n In Minute to Win It, players have 60 seconds to do a simple and funny physical challenge, like:<\/span><\/p>\n Forget <\/span>icebreakers<\/span>, these games will forge quick friendships and alliances as you laugh your way through the silly challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n These four games don\u2019t require even a single sheet of paper. If you like them, you can play most of them <\/span>around the table at dinner parties<\/a><\/strong>, on the go, in a line, or in the car, too!<\/span><\/p>\n
