TLDR; What are some good party games that encourage getting to know each other and are not centered around drinking?

A year ago I had a great party. I split all participants (maybe 16 people) into 4 teams and made a 3 game tournament which was very appreciated. This year I am hoping to replicate the good vibe we had, but I want new games.

I am now asking you; What are some good party games?

Criterias:

  • Low or no amount of randomness (to keep things competitive)
  • Reasonably easy to acquire the materials for
  • Possible to do as a team
  • Encourages interaction, either within the team, between teams or both
  • Should not be centered around drinking

    The key is low effort social engagement

    • Person do thing
    • Two rooms and a boom
    • charades

    Some things are good with groups, but require a little more commitment:

    • One night ultimate werewolf
    • Avalon
    • code names

      One night is really fun, this summer I successfully ran it with a group of 12. Non gamers, But I wouldn’t say it’s a party game, but in a pregame for sure with the right group.

      The phone app really helps in getting a group quickly into the game.

      Plus one for werewolves, a lot of fun and because of the debating element you get to see people getting creative, evasive, their ability to lie and what not
