11. Hot potato

In this entertaining game, everyone should sit in a circle. Assign one person to manage the music and pass an item around the circle in the same manner as if it were a hot potato.

12. Minute-to-win-it

Minute-to-win-it games are incredibly popular and can be played by anyone. Divide the guests into two teams.

These art pieces can be nice keepsakes for your friends.

Melissa Andre, a creative consultant and a celebrity event planner, shares her expert tips for a classy yet budget-friendly party place for a girls’ night. She says, “Art gallery’s typically close early and rent for super cheap! It’s a great alternative if you are hosting a large group of people.”

Whoever hosts can choose whatever she wants to do (i).”

It’s a simple and enjoyable game that you can customize to your group’s preferences, making it an excellent pick for your girl’s night.

26. Alphabet game

Participants in the alphabet game take turns spotting and calling out words or items that start with each letter of the alphabet in sequential order.

The game will continue until you reach the letter ‘Z.’ The round is won by the player who correctly names an object for each letter.

27. Hangman

One player comes up with a word and then draws a series of underscores on a piece of paper to represent each alphabet in the word. The other players guess letters in turn. If they correctly guess a letter in the word, it is revealed in its correct spot. If they guess a letter that is not in the word, a hangman figure is drawn. The guessing game continues until either the word is properly guessed or the hangman is completely drawn.

Quick tip

30. Tequila

In this music-oriented game, one has to choose a song that has a particular word repeated several times, and whenever that word comes up, everyone has to take a sip of their drink. For instance, in the song “Gucci Gang” by Lil Pump, the word “Gucci” is quite repetitive, and so, if you choose this song along with the word “Gucci,” then everyone has to drink every time the word pops up.

31. Freeze

Do you recall the statue game you played in your childhood? Here’s something similar but with a twist. Tag someone “it.” Every time “it” says “freeze” during the evening, everyone must stop moving. Anyone who ends up flinching or showing the slightest movement would have to take a shot of tequila.

32. Most likely

“Most Likely” is one of the most fun question games to play with friends. In this game, everyone sits in a circle and frames a “most likely” question. For instance, “Who is most likely to go to the spa before a big event?” The one who gets the most pointers from everyone in the group has to drink.

Twenty Questions (Q20) is one of the most popular games since the 19th century. It also had a dedicated radio and TV quiz show named ‘Twenty Questions’ in the 1950s. It can be a fun addition to a girls’ night for sharing laughter and joy while guessing (1). One player thinks of a person, object, or place, and the others guess what it is by asking up to 20 yes or no questions. To narrow down the options, the questions should be specific and purposeful. The game continues until someone guesses the correct answer or until all 20 questions have been utilized.

34. Medusa

All of the players have to sit in a circle and put their heads down. On the count of three, everyone should look up. If no player is staring at you, you are safe, but you would have to shout ‘Medusa’ and take a shot if you spot one player staring at you.

In this edition, you must pick whether you want to go on a date with him or pass on the opportunity. Choosing to date shows that you are interested in the person. It’s a playful game that provides insight into your girlfriends’ tastes when it comes to boys, making it an excellent method to get to know each other’s preferences.

40. Shot roulette

Shot roulette with juice is certain to please juice fans. Just make sure to have at least 10 shot glasses ready, with different juices in each. Arrange them in a circle and place an empty bottle in the center. Participants will rotate the bottle one at a time, and whatever juice it lands on will determine what they will sip.

41. Bottle Cap

Gather all players in a circle. Players can take turns asking questions to the person to their right. The questions can be about someone in the group, such as ‘Who’s your favorite among us?’ The person who receives the question secretly tosses a bottle cap to the person who corresponds to the question’s answer. The recipient of the bottle cap then throws the cap into the air. If it lands correctly, the answer to the question is shared with the group. If it lands upside down, the answer remains a mystery.

42. Spot the killer

The game is for all the mystery lovers out there. You would need five people to play this game. The host of the game will draw five cards from the deck, with four black and one red. The cards will be shuffled, and each person gets to pick out one card. The one who has the red card will be the “killer.”

Everyone looks at one another, and when it’s the right time, the “killer” winks at another player, who then has to put down their card and take a large sip of the drink. So, it goes on until the “detectives” have figured out who the “killer” is. When the “killer” is caught, they would have to finish their drink.

43. Flip it

Form two teams with your friends. Place a plastic cup near the table’s edge so that half of the cup reaches past the edge.

It’s a simple and pleasant game that will bring some friendly competition to your gathering.

44. Spill your guts

This is a challenging game that includes uncommon foods such as fish eyes, green chilly, and bitter gourd smoothies. Participants are asked thought-provoking or controversial questions and given the option to respond or decline. If they do not answer, they must eat one of the unpleasant foods. This game is a true test of one’s willpower.

45. Blow cards

It is a card game that requires a bottle of juice or water in addition to a deck of playing cards. Simply place the card deck on the bottle’s top and have players try to blow a single card off the deck in turns. If players accidentally blow away two or more cards or lead the whole deck to fall, they lose the round and must complete a dare. This game provides hours of entertainment but is most fun when played with friends who appreciate a good laugh.

46. Accent game

Friends take turns trying on different accents or dialects while speaking or reading from a script in this game. It’s a lighthearted and amusing game that inspires laughter and grins as participants try on various accents ranging from British to Australian to comical character voices.

47. Sound guess

In this game, one player wears noise-cancelling headphones to cancel out the external sounds. Their objective is to guess the words that the other participants alternately whisper or hum without speaking aloud. It’s a hard and often humorous experience as the guesser tries to piece together the puzzle of movements and expressions.

In an interview with a magazine, Brian Worley, an American reality television host, event planner, and wedding designer, suggests another fun drinking activity for a girls’ night out that will also help cut costs. He says, “Ask all your girlfriends to bring a bottle or two of their favorite wine, to do your own in-home wine-tasting party. Let each guest educate the rest of the group on their choice, and at the end of the evening you may have found a new favorite wine and left the party with knowledge of wine that you never thought you would have known before.”

Fun Girls Night Games

Whatever the occasion is, be it a bachelorette party or even a birthday party, these games are sure to give anyone a good time with your girls.

48. Rhyme time

Start with any random word and then go in a circle as each one says a rhyming word to the previous one. Anyone who repeats a word will end that round of the game.

49. Charades

They would have to act this out through pantomime and hand gestures to their respective team. Each team gets a maximum of 60 seconds to guess it. The team that makes the more successful guesses wins.

50. Pictionary

Invented as early as the 1980s, the word-guessing game Pictionary is one of the most famous board games of all time. The game requires two groups, and from each group, a player is given a clue card containing a word, which they would have to draw out to their team in 60 seconds. The group that makes the majority of the guesses wins.

Quick tip

Making a trending dance reel is also a cool idea for you to have a blast with your girlfriends.

51. UNO

Uno is something that is not only fun to play but also quite competitive. The game starts with each player getting seven cards, which include number and action cards.

The game’s goal is simple; the player who has one card remaining in their hand will shout “uno,” and when they throw it, they win.

52. Pitch perfect

In the film Pitch Perfect, the riff-off is one of the most famous scenes, which is why this game is named so. Your girl gang must be divided into two teams, and the host must give a genre (example, hip-hop, 80’s synth-pop, death metal) that will determine the first team’s track selection. Then the other team should choose another track that will have some of the words from the song sung by the first team’s track. The rounds continue, and so you girls can have fun singing karaoke.

So, the one who gets their turn first has to concoct a cocktail with three ingredients at a minimum. This is then brought out for everyone to taste.
