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

      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

      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.
