Teenage Party Games Winking murder Fun Party Games All sit in a circle. Pass cards around telling people to keep them hidden; the person with the ace of spades is the murderer. When he is ready, the Murderer winks at people in the circle. Anyone who sees that they have been winked at lets out a blood-curdling scream and dies. If someone thinks they know who the murderer is, they ask everyone to put there hands out into the centre of the circle. Everyone closes their eyes and the person guessing touches the hand of the person they think is the murderer. If they are wrong, they are out of the game and the murderer is free to carry on…until they are found out or they murder everyone! A good laugh, even for adults
Blind mans bluff - Fun Party Games Blind man’s bluff is a children’s game played in a spacious enclosed area, such as a large room, in which one player, designated as “It,” is either blindfolded or closes his or her eyes. The It player gropes around blindly and attempts to touch the other players without being able to see them, while the other players scatter and try to avoid and hide from the person who is “it”, sometimes teasing them to make them change direction. The game is a variant of tag. There are several versions of the game:
In another version, whenever any player is tagged by the person who is “it”, that player is out of the game. The game proceeds until all players are out of the game, at which point another round of the game starts, with either the first player or the last player to be tagged becoming the next person who is “it”. In yet another version, It feels the face of the person tagged and attempts to identify the person, and only if the person is correctly identified does the person become “it”.
A children’s game similar to blind man’s bluff is Marco Polo, with the main difference being that Marco Polo is played in a swimming pool and the one that is “it” calls out “Marco” to which the other players must reply “Polo.” Thus indicating their position and making it easier for the person who is It to go in the right direction.
The game is known as blind man’s buff in the UK and Ireland, buff meaning a small push. It is possible that the American name is a corruption, or it may originate from the older sense of bluff meaning to blindfold . Blind man’s bluff should be played in an area free of dangerous obstructions so that the It player will not suffer injury from tripping over or hitting something
The Mafia Game - Teenage Birthday Party Games / Drinking Game Intro: “This game is the best party game I have ever played.” It can be expanded to a drinking game or you can keep individual scores, but mostly it is just a blast as is. Number of People: You need at least 3 people, the more the better. Equipment: A deck of cards, or another way to secretly determine which people will be the “undercover cops”. Concept: Imagine the group of people are mafia members in a meeting, however the group has been infiltrated by a small number of undercover cops, and the mafia members know this, they have also been informed of the number of undercover cops. The mafia will not rest until all of the undercover cops are dead, but as soon as there is an equal number of cops to mafia members the cops have enough power to capture the mafia members and win. The group votes to decide who to whack. Instructions: For every 3 people there will be one undercover cop (you can tweak this ratio to make it harder or easier). Say there are 9 people: get 3 aces, and 6 other cards, put them in a pile and have each person pull a card, if you get an ace you are a cop. Choose one person to be the announcer, the announcer says “everyone put your heads down and close your eyes” Wait 3 seconds, then say “undercover cops open your eyes and determine who your partners are” Wait 3 seconds, then say “undercover cops close your eyes” Wait 3 seconds, then say “everyone open your eyes”
The fun begins. There are no rules to the game, except you cannot touch anybody or their card. If you are an undercover cop you will have to lie a lot. If you are in a religious group you may want to make a rule that you can’t “swear on the bible”, or “swear on your dead grandmothers grave”. You can ask anyone any question. You will notice undercover cops acting suspiciously, when a cop is being questioned his/her partner may try to shift attention away from that person onto someone else… there are a lot of strategies that can be used. When the group is coming to a decision whether they want to whack a person, one person will raise his/her hand and say “I’m voting to whack so and so”, then other people will raise their hand of they agree, as soon as the majority of people have voted this person is whacked and they must reveal their card. The “majority” is as follows: If there are 6 people alive, then there will be 5 people voting against one person, there must be 3 votes in favor of whacking the person. If there are 7 people in the group, there will be 6 people voting against one person, there must be 4 votes in favor of whacking the person. The game ends when all cops are killed, or there are the same number of cops and mafia members, in this case the cops win. Variations: You can have dead mafia members still be apart of the game, they just can’t vote, this makes it easier for the mafia because you know you can trust what this person is saying. Generally dead cops should stop playing entirely, they will only hurt the cops by giving away their partner(s). If the game is competitive I recommend the cops leave the room - although this isn’t as fun. When playing it with 3 cops, I was the only cop left and there were 4 people left, when we killed off a mafia member one of the dead cops got up and high fived me thinking we had won! GAME OVER. Drinking rules: Make up your own… here are some examples: At the end of the game, all members of the losing team drink. Or you can drink for each fallen comrade.
Piggy Back Race Fun Party Games Split your party into two or more teams with an even number in each team.
When you start the race, the first pair in each team must “piggy back” up the room (or garden), and back. Going one way the first person jumps on the other’s back to be carried. Coming back the roles are reversed. If you are being carried, no part of your body can touch the ground - otherwise you start your turn again. Once the first pair makes it back, the next pair in the team can start. First team to finish wins.
British Bulldog Fun Party Games You need to play this outside, with a good length playing area that has two distinct ends. The ends must be marked out with a line, or a wall, or just two objects on the ground. One person is the bulldog and stands in the middle of the play area. All the remaining players gather at one end of the area. When the bulldog shouts “Go”, everyone must run to the other end without being tagged by the bulldog. If you are tagged you become an extra bulldog and help in the next go. If you reach the other end you cannot be tagged. The bulldog then shouts “Go” again and everyone dashes back to the other end. Repeat this process until one player is left as the winner.
Trouser snake - teenage party games
This game sounds perverted but is a lot of fun especially for teenagers and adults. If you are looking for a fun adult birthday party game then add this to the list. Divide your party into teams of between 3 and 6. Make sure couples are split up. Prepare a ball of string for each team. The game is straightforward - on the word go each team must pass the string down the trousers/skirt/dress of the first player, back up the trouser/skirt/dress of the second player and so on until everyone is linked.
The ends of the piece of string must be tied to finish. The fastest team wins. A good game to break the ice, and excellent for getting singles together.
