I have seen that more and more parties become extremely boring after the dancing stops and people just want to lay back and do something fun. There are loads of interesting games, but also many people are reluctant to do something new. The most fun parties I have been to always include some sort of interesting games, and I want to share with you the ones that I think are bullet proof. I’m sure that not all of these will be for everybody’s liking but at the same time I have met very few people who didn’t get the hang of them and wound up having a lot of fun. The trick of course for any successful party game is for everyone who participates to be in the right state of mind. If people want to have fun, than they will have fun, but if there are some spoilsports as well, make sure that they are greatly outnumbered. This is probably one of the important tips for any sort of party game: get the right people, and have perfect timing. If everybody has had a few, than they will definitely be more receptive to new games:
1. Charades. This is timeless classic. You can’t go wrong with mime. It’s fun because this way you get to find out how everybody’s mind works, what sort of interesting connections they are able to make or, on the contrary, what weird connections that nobody could ever guess, can occur. I think this is one of the most interesting games in any context, but with an added bonus for people at the end of a party, a bit tipsy but still in the mood for something fun.
2. Finish the story. This is one of my favorite and one the most interesting games you can play at a party. Everyone has to sit in a circle and one person has to be a referee. The referee gives a word on which the first person of the circle has to build a story. Once the first person begins the story the referee can decide at any point to change the storyteller, and make the new one continue where the last one left off. It’s great fun and also a very creative game and you will wind up with a very interesting story at the end.
3. Guess the star. This is a very popular and simple game. Everybody writes down a name of a celebrity, alive or dead, fictional or real, and so one. Than the pieces of paper mix and each has to place on their forehead right side up the ticket that they have chosen. After that each has to put simple yes or no questions in order to find out who their ticket refers to. Once you get a no answer, you lose your turn, and the next person in line gets to ask their questions.
4. Dancing chairs. Always a fun and interesting game. People will form a circle and dance around some chairs. The number of chairs has to be with one less than the number of people. When the music stops everyone has to sit down on a chair. The last person to sit down, who will not have a chair, will be eliminated. After that, one more char is removed and the game goes on.
5. Karaoke. Everybody loves karaoke. Especially when they are drunk. There is really not much to this game except for the fact that almost everybody will make a complete foul of themselves which is always fun.
6. Lift the ball. This is a great way to see if there could be some chemistry between a guy and girl. The game is pretty simple. The couple starts of by having a ball between their bellies. By using only their bodies, and not their hands, the couple must get the ball to the shortest person of the pair’s chin.
7. Roll the ball. This is strictly for adults. Preferably single. The people will pear up into couples with a guy and a girl. They are given to Ping-Pong balls, and the man has to move the ball from one sleeve of the woman’s shirt to the other, while the girl has to move it from one side of the man’s trouser leg to the other. Trust me; it’s a very interesting game.
These are a few of the most interesting games I have played at parties. As I said before, in order for any of them to be fun you need to make sure that people are in the mood, and of course that your timing is good. Of course, alcohol will definitely make thinks even more exciting. Do you have any interesting games which you would like to share?
