If you end up having a big group, you can split up into teams and play several different games throughout the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From digital party games to classic board games, these options are sure to score points with your guests. Whether you\u2019re inviting your longtime besties or a mix of close friends and acquaintances, select a few different games that your guests can choose from. That way, there\u2019s something for everyone\u2019s tastes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Jackbox Games<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideal for homes with limited space, you can play <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jackboxgames.com\/project\/jbpp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jackbox Games<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> using your phones, Xbox, Playstation, or Amazon Fire TV. Just have everyone connect to the \u201cjackbox.tv\u201d web address on their phone and play anything from trivia games to fill-in-the-blank word games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Cards Against Humanity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardsagainsthumanity.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Cards Against Humanity<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not a family game. Instead, it\u2019s absurdly inappropriate, roaringly fun, and perfectly suited for an adult game night soiree. It\u2019s great for large groups since there\u2019s no limit to the number of players \u2014 though six to eight people are ideal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For each turn, one person draws a black question card and everyone else answers using one of their white answer cards. The answers and questions are ridiculous, including things like \u201ca man in a sippy cup\u201d and \u201cwhat gives me uncontrollable gas.\u201d There are also several expansion packs, including the Absurd Pack and Dad Pack for hours of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Heads Up!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably heard of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellentube.com\/settings\/apps_and_games.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Heads Up!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the wildly popular game she plays on her show. To play, you have to guess the word on a card from your friends\u2019 clues before the timer runs out. You can play this game by downloading the app on your smartphone. But if you want to go analog, simply write down words on Post-its and have everyone stick them on their foreheads for a hilarious adult game night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Pictionary<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.mattel.com\/products\/pictionary-gmt97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pictionary<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the best board games around. This classic game is best played in two teams with four people each, though you can also play with more or fewer participants. A team member picks a card and then draws the word while the rest of the team tries to guess what it is. Have an artist on your team? Guessing will be easy, but it\u2019s just as fun trying to decipher a clue from the stick figures and scribbles of even the worst artists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Charades<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another adult game that\u2019s sure to bring on the laughs is charades. When it\u2019s their turn, each person acts out a particular word, whether it\u2019s a person, place, or thing. The first person to guess correctly gets a point and the final winner can take home a prize. You can download <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fun-stuff-to-do.com\/charades-cards.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">printable charade cards<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or come up with ideas on the fly. Topics can include trending pop culture figures or politicians as well as emotions, sports, or activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. What Do You Meme?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/whatdoyoumeme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Do You Meme?<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes traditional card games and brings them into the present with a focus on making viral memes. This card game is perfect for any meme lovers in your group. Ultimately, you\u2019re competing to create the funniest meme by pairing caption cards with the photo card in play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Exploding Kittens<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.explodingkittens.com\/products\/exploding-kittens-original-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Exploding Kittens<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a highly-strategic, family-friendly, and kitty-powered version of hot potato. (There are also goats and magical enchiladas with artwork by famed cartoonist The Oatmeal, so you know it\u2019s good.) The goal of the game is to avoid drawing an exploding kitten card. Along the way, you can try to defeat other players by playing Attack, Nope, and See the Future cards. It&#8217;s a great drawing game if you feel like being silly yet ruthlessly competitive at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Telestrations After Dark<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like a visual version of the old-school game Telephone, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theop.games\/products\/telestrations-after-dark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Telestrations After Dark<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is perfect for an adult game night. To play, everyone gathers around a table with a sketchpad. You start by choosing a word, then passing the sketchpad to your left or right. The next person reads the word and draws the image on a new page. The pad is then passed to the next person who looks at the picture and writes what they think it is. This continues until everyone has had a turn and you get your original sketchpad back. Everyone shares the progression of their word \u2014 laughing hysterically at the misinterpretations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Catch Phrase<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideal for groups who might not know each other really well, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.hasbro.com\/en-us\/product\/ultimate-catch-phrase-game-for-ages-12-and-up:E527947F-B781-48EB-8BBC-4FAA8ED518DF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catch Phrase<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the perfect game to break the ice and ease people into an evening of fun. Players read a word on the Catchphrase device and have to describe it without saying what it is. Once someone guesses correctly, they toss the unit to another player who has to do the same. Players have just 15 seconds to guess, so it\u2019s an excellent way to keep things moving and exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Other Entertainment for Adult Game Night<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-happily-playing-Jenga.jpeg\" alt=\"Adult game night: group of friends happily playing Jenga\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-happily-playing-Jenga.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-happily-playing-Jenga-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-happily-playing-Jenga-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s a Spotify playlist or a football game on TV, it never hurts to have some background entertainment.

Just be sure to turn the volume down when the games come out!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it&#8217;s adult game night, you can also consider playing drinking games like beer pong or Never Have I Ever. For a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/backyard-party\">backyard house party<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can easily pair a summer barbecue with yard games like bean bag toss, XXL Jenga, and spike ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What to Eat for Adult Game Night<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-playing-a-guessing-game.jpeg\" alt=\"Adult game night: group of friends playing a guessing game\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-playing-a-guessing-game.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-playing-a-guessing-game-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/group-of-friends-playing-a-guessing-game-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, game nights don\u2019t require the same level of preparation as an upscale dinner party.
