party game
Gathering icebreaker activity
A party game is a game designed for social gatherings, typically simple enough for groups of varying sizes and requiring minimal equipment.
Party games prioritize fun and interaction over strategy or skill: charades, Pictionary, trivia contests.
We played a drinking game as a party game at the reception.
The term sometimes extends to video games with multiplayer modes suited for casual group play.
