ADULT PARTY GAMES

Although traditionally associated with childrens birthday parties, party games for adults are gaining in popularity all the time. Whether it is a hen party an 18th birthday party or a retirement party hosts are becoming increasinly inventive when it comes to party entertainment.

For younger adults no party is complete without a series of drinking games but for the more mature party goer the range of party games has really improved.

But before you launch yourself into organising a party don’t go overboard on the party games. Give careful consideration to the games you are expecting your guests to play.

In the paragraphs below I outline some broad tips that I hope will help when planning your party games.

House Size : The space you have will play a large part in the games you finally select. But don’t worry there is a game for every venue.

Time Available: As we all get older family commitments take over leaving us less time to burn the candle at both ends. If you and your guests are in that phase of life, adapt the time scale of the games accordingly. Dont play complicated games that take hours to play. Your guests wont thank you.

Attitude of Guests : When it comes to party games there are some occassions that are more appropriate than others.  Don’t assume  just because they are at your party the guests will want to play party games and participate in the activities you have planned. Be sensitive to the mood of your guests and don’t feel that the games have to be played.

Age profile of the Attentees: This will determineon the type of games that you can use. A group of energetic 20 years olds will like different games to a family gathering aged 0 to 80.

Props: Make sure you have all the material and props you require to play the games.

Timing: Plan the introduction of party games for the appropriate time. There is no point in having ice-breaker games as people are planning to leave.

Remember the aim of the party in general and the games in particular is to ensure the guests have an pleasant and relaxing time. That is up to you the host. By creating the right atmosphere, guests will relax and start to enjoy themselves. Don’t spoil it by trying to force them to play party games.
