party games

Celebration activity options

Party games are activities designed to entertain groups at social gatherings—from children's birthday parties to adult get-togethers.

The category spans physical games like musical chairs and pin the tail on the donkey, guessing games like charades and twenty questions, and drinking games at adult parties.

Board games and video games played socially may also qualify.

The defining feature is group participation in a casual, festive context: We played party games until midnight.
