On this list:
12 Codenames
We once had a blast with Codenames that we lost track of time, almost missing our pizza order! This game is easy to learn and great for big groups. Players split into two teams, trying to guess the words related to their team’s secret agents. It’s perfect for parties because it’s quick, engaging, and full of laughs.
11 Just One
Just One is so much fun that even my shy friend Linda got into it. This cooperative word game involves trying to get a player to guess a word by giving one-word clues, but if the clues are the same, they’re not shown. It leads to lots of laughs and ‘what were you thinking?’ moments.
10 Telestrations
We can’t stop laughing with Telestrations, especially when our drawings look nothing like the original word. It’s like the telephone game but with drawing. Perfect for parties because it’s light, hilarious, and everyone gets to show off their *ahem* artistic skills.
9 Wits & Wagers
Wits & Wagers had us on the edge of our seats, betting on who had the closest answer. This trivia game is unique because you don’t need to know the right answer; you just bet on who you think knows it. This twist makes it accessible for everyone.
8 Spyfall
Spyfall is one of those fun party games where you can’t stop laughing yet need to stay sharp. Everyone but one person knows the location, and the spy has to guess it. The non-spies must figure out who the spy is. A game full of accusations and laughter.
7 Sushi Go Party!
Sushi Go Party! is a draft-and-pass game where we created the silliest sushi combinations. Easy to pick up and play, even newbies will catch on quick. It’s lighthearted, quick, and you’ll be craving sushi by the end.
6 Decrypto
Decrypto gets our brains working and our sides hurting from laughter. Try to communicate codes to your team without the other team intercepting. It’s like Codenames but wrapped in a more intense and funny package. Great for those who want a challenge mixed with fun.
5 Secret Hitler
Secret Hitler had us all side-eyeing each other, trying to figure out who’s lying. It’s a hidden role game where you’re either trying to pass liberal policies or stop fascists. The accusations, the debates, and the bluffing make it a riot.
4 Coup
Coup is a quick bluffing game where we deceived each other like pros. Each player tries to eliminate others by bluffing their way through. It’s fast, strategic, and you can’t trust anyone. Perfect for a party atmosphere.
3 One Night Ultimate Werewolf
One Night Ultimate Werewolf gets everyone involved, accusing friends of being werewolves. It’s a fast-paced game of role-playing and deduction. We had countless laughs and gasps as we revealed our roles at the end. Fun for any group size and always thrilling.
2 Exploding Kittens
Exploding Kittens gets wild with its fast-paced, explosive fun. Players draw cards, hoping not to get an exploding kitten unless they have a defuse card. The art is cute, and the strategy is simple yet intense. We couldn’t stop playing this addictive game.
1 Cards Against Humanity
Cards Against Humanity takes the cake as the best fun party game. This game is hilariously inappropriate, with players filling in the blanks in the most outrageous way possible. It’s easy to learn, always entertaining, and creates endless laughter. Great for those who aren’t easily offended. The best party game for adults.
