Updated: Feb 5
Entertaining guests can often feel like an effort to ensure everyone is having a great time. One way to set the stage for a lively atmosphere is to incorporate board games into your next gathering. Activities like this not only introduce a playful element but also help in creating connections and laughter. In this blog, we'll explore a variety of entertaining ice breaker games and activities that will make your next gathering a hit.
Two Truths and a Lie
Kickstart the festivities with a classic ice breaker game – "Two Truths and a Lie." Each guest shares two true statements about themselves and one false statement, and the rest of the group tries to guess which one is the lie. It's a great way to encourage conversation and reveal hilarious and little known facts about each other.
Codenames is another social word game where rival spymasters guide their teammates to guess the identities of their teammates using one-word clues. The objective is to contact all agents while avoiding the opposing team's words and the assassin. The game's simple yet dynamic pace makes it easy for anyone to join in the fun.
Human Bingo
This one is funny. Create bingo cards with unique traits or experiences in each square. Guests then mingle with each other, trying to find someone who fits the description in each square and obtaining their signature. The first to complete a row yells "Bingo!" and is deemed the smug winner.
Telestrations is an award winning party game, perfect for bigger parties. Players start with their own sketchbook, marker, and a secret word revealed by a roll of the die. The game unfolds as players sketch and pass their interpretations, resulting in a chain of hilarious miscommunication that ends up with The Big Reveal, capturing the unpredictable outcomes, much like the classic game of, “Broken Telephone.”
Sketch the Laughter
Elevate the fun with Pictionary, a team-based game that combines creativity and competition. Create a list of words or phrases related to the event theme. Each team member has a limited time to sketch while the others guess. It's a hilarious way to break the ice and let the lack of artistic expression shine!
Trivia Night
With this game, knowledge is power, so Ignite friendly competition with a trivia night. Prepare a set of questions spanning various topics, or opt for a themed trivia night. Divide guests into teams and let the games begin. It's an excellent way to showcase expertise, learn new things, and add a bit of excitement to your party.
The Name Game
Turn name memorization into a real challenge with The Name Game. As guests arrive, ask them to share a unique fact that rhymes with their name, no props required. Throughout the event, encourage others to recall these quirky rhymes, creating an entertaining memory challenge.
With the board game Incohearent, players take turns being the judge, holding up a card with an Incohearent phrase visible only to them. The other players read aloud the front of the card, attempting to decode the phrase, and the first person to successfully decipher it wins the card. Incohearent brings humor to your game night by watching your guests attempt to decipher hilariously nonsensical phrases.
Cards Against Humanity…oh my
Cards Against Humanity is a card game for horrible people, lol, and has taken the world by storm. It’s a game of dark humour and absurdity, where you’re forced to make the most hilariously inappropriate combinations possible. As much as I’m ashamed to admit this, we've never laughed so hard at a game before.
Whether you're hosting a casual get-together or a more formal event, incorporating games is the key to an engaging atmosphere. From classic board games to DIY instructions, there's a perfect interactive game for every occasion. So, sit back and soak up the laughter, and give your guests a night to remember.
