About Party Games

Party games that need no explaining

The best party game is one a late arrival can join mid-round. Jenga is 54 wooden blocks and one rule: pull from below, place on top, do not be the one who knocks it down. Twister has been tying guests in knots since 1966, and Twister Ultimate gives a bigger group a bigger mat. Pie Face adds a hand full of whipped cream and a crank. Nobody has to read anything.

Card games for the grown-up table

Once the kids are in bed, the card boxes come out. Priorities asks the table to rank absurd choices, Minor Details is a drawing game for people who cannot draw, and the SERVD decks settle scores between friends, couples and new parents. Truth or Drink, Fear Pong and Fork Milk Kidnap are made for adults only. Age grades vary a lot on this shelf, so check each listing first.

Party games the whole family can play

Plenty of this shelf works for mixed ages. Beat the Heat is a quick card game for ages 8 and up, SERVD Kids vs Parents lets each side hand the other a dare, and Twister Air swaps the mat for wrist and ankle bands and an app. Yahtzee On the Rocks is the adult spin on the dice classic. For word-guessing party games like Taboo and Catch Phrase, look on our Word & Trivia shelf.

Asked about Party Games

Which party games work for a big group?

Jenga and Twister Ultimate handle a crowd well because people can rotate in and out. Team games such as Taboo and Catch Phrase, on the Word & Trivia shelf, also scale to large groups.

Are all of these games for adults?

No. Jenga, Twister and Pie Face are family games, while titles like Truth or Drink and Fear Pong are for adults only. The age grade is shown on every card and listing.

What is a good game to bring as a host gift?

A small card box such as Priorities or SERVD Friends fits in a bag and needs no setup, and Jenga is welcome at nearly any party.
