10 party games to play at your next event!

The drinks are free-flowing as you and your friend have gotten together to have some much-needed fun. Whether it’s a hen’s or bucks’ do, a birthday bash, or you want to unwind in your surroundings, why not up the ante and introduce some entertaining party games, which inject laughter, competition, and create unforgettable moments for your group. You can opt for drinking or non-drinking games, but whatever you choose, you’re going to have a fun-filled evening!

1. Shot Roulette

It’s a party, and that requires a round of shots (or two). Shot Roulette will take your party to the next level, and you can find it right here at the Wicked Party Store. This fun and daring game add a thrilling twist to any gathering. Spin the centre, add a ball or two, and drink from the numbered shot glass it lands on. When the ball lands on your number, you get to drink. Cheers to that!

2. Mummy Wrap

If you are looking for something completely different from playing a game of cards, then the Mummy Wrap is for you! And, no, it doesn’t involve getting a hug from your “mother”. It’s a hilarious, fast-paced party activity that sees teams race to wrap one of their members in toilet paper—turning them into a “mummy” before the other team does! The team with the most “mummified” members in a set time wins. And you get bonus points for dramatic poses and spooky walks. You might need a hand getting your drink, though!

3. Spin the Bottle Drinking Game

Speaking of drinking, why not try the  Spin the Bottle Drinking Game! It’s a classic twist on the game, which usually sees others having to share a kiss. This time, you get to drink when the bottle lands your way! This version, available at the Wicked Party Store, is designed to get everyone laughing and taking part. Perfect for hen parties, bucks nights, and birthday celebrations, it’s a great icebreaker and a guaranteed way to keep the drinks—and the fun flowing.

4. Celebrities Charades

For fans of pop culture and celebrities, this is the perfect game and right up your alley. It’s super easy to play, with you only needing slips of paper, a bowl or hat to hold the names, and a timer (60 seconds per turn). The game is divided into three rounds, starting with verbal hints, where no part of the name is allowed, but phrases like “she’s currently dating a famous NFL player” are permitted. The second round consists of a one-word clue, like “she just finished a record-breaking tour”. And the third round has no words, just gestures and acting, like singing. The team with the correct guesses wins—and hilarity ensues!

5. Table Mini Golf Drinking Game

Parktake in this unique and hilarious game, which will see the drinks flowing as you try to sink your shot early to make others drink. The more you miss, the more you drink—which could be seen as a big win for you! The rules are simple: one player steps up and tries to putt the ball, if they sink it in one everybody drinks, two strokes: assign a shot to another player, three strokes: you do half a shot, four strokes: you do a full shot, five strokes: do a shot with a friend, six strokes: and you still miss your turn is over. The mini golf drinking game, available at the Wicked Party Store, is guaranteed to create a raucously fun-filled party night.

6. Lip Sync Battle

Unlock your inner rock (or pop) star with a Lip Sync Battle. The interesting thing about this game is that you don’t even have to sing a single note, which may be beneficial for other guests with sensitive ears. It’s all performance, attitude, and hilarious theatrics. You can compete solo or in teams to deliver the most entertaining lip-sync performance. You’ll need a sound system with a specifically curated playlist based on the tunes the guests would like to belt out, and a microphone, whether it’s real or a prop, to get your group into the singing mood. Costumes, wigs, and some outlandish gear are always a good idea. The solo or team that delivers the most entertaining lip-sync performance is declared the winner and awarded with trophies, medals, or perhaps a drink or two!

7. Beer Pong

A party games list wouldn’t be complete without adding Beer Pong to the list. It’s a classic and staple at most parties for a reason! All you need to do is eliminate all of your opponent’s cups by landing ping pong balls into them. When a ball lands in a cup, the opposing team drinks the contents and removes the cup. Sounds easy? Let’s hope you’re a good shot! You’ll find our Beer Pong Cups & Balls at our Wicked Party Store, featuring a 10-piece set that includes everything you need to set up a game and challenge your friends.

8. Dance Freeze Showdown

If you are looking for a high-energy party game that turns any playlist into a hilarious test of creativity, then Dance Freeze Showdown is for you and your group. And it’s a fantastic way to let loose and have a good giggle with your group. All you need to do is play music (using a music player, DJ, or someone to control the music) and dance your little heart out until the music stops—then you must instantly freeze. Anyone caught moving is out. The last dancer standing wins— it’s the ultimate showdown and a laugh-out-loud game to play.

9. Photo Scavenger Hunt

Everyone loves a scavenger hunt, but adding the photo element raises the bar in the entertainment stakes. All you need to do is complete a list of photo challenges by snapping creative, themed pictures, which the host has created. The teams then race against time to finish the challenges like “group disco pose” or “funny hat selfie.” The team or individual with the most completed (or most hilarious) photos wins—bragging rights! Props, costumes, or themed accessories are recommended, as they inspire more creativity and thus increase your chances of winning!

10. Mystery Box Dare

If you’re looking for a game that combines surprises and suspense, then the Mystery Box Dare will keep everyone on their toes. It consists of players reaching into a covered box and pulling out a challenge card. The challenges can be anything from “sing a famous rock tune” to “bust out your best dance moves for ten minutes”. Players must complete the challenge or face sheer embarrassment by doing something even more ridiculously funny. But there is some good news: There are a few reward cards for lucky players—a free drink or immunity from the next round. The person who completes the most dares wins the game!

All of these games are unique and incredibly entertaining—and fun! So, give them a try the next time you throw a party.
