The Best Birthday Party Games for Adults
Drop a Hint: Three people work together to get their teammate to guess a word, each person saying one word at a time!
Don’t Say Yes: You’ve probably heard of those taboo word games before, but this one will be quite the challenge. Guests aren’t allowed to use the word, yes, or any variation of it. You can have them wear a sticker or a yarn necklace if they say the word during the party. It will be fun to see who’s the most “decorated” at the end of the night.
Movie ID: Players have to get their team to guess a movie title using a limited number of words before the other team can get their team to guess it! It’s kind of like the old school Name That Tune game show but with movies instead!
Great Minds Think Alike: Great Minds Think Alike is a game where you want to choose what you think everyone else will choose: the more people who get the same answer, the more points those people will kit.
Celebrity: Everyone playing writes down popular celebrities to start the game. Teams then play three rounds using those celebrity names as words to guess. Each round is a little different and progressively more difficult, but also more fun!
Who am I?: Who Am I? is a guessing game where you act or draw the famous person on the slip of paper that you drew. Can your teammates guess who you’re pretending to be?
Spoons: Spoons is a card game that’s great for any age or group of people. It’s fun and fast but still a card game that everyone can play.
