Explore a short guide to the ultimate fun party games

Looking for the best fun party games can be tricky. Not every game is going to work for every type of party; some are great for a chill pre-drinks sesh with friends, and some are just designed for wild nights that tend to blur out. 

Choosing the best party game involves spiking one that fits the vibe of your crew and keeps everyone interested without causing too much chaos. Here are some interesting game ideas that fit the bill and have everyone competing, laughing, and more importantly, getting close.

Parte: The Ultimate Drinking Game

If you want to keep things fresh and unexpected, Parte is the drinking game for your crew. This fun party game requires everyone to have their phones out and enter each player’s name into the app. Once ready, Parte will spit out random dares, questions, challenges, and even drinking rules.

Think of it as your party’s personal DJ, which keeps everyone on their toes with over 3200 cards updated weekly. Whether it’s mini games, trivia, or wild dares, Pate will never run out of ideas. It’s a free app that will turn any gathering into a fun-filled party. 

Flip Cup: Team Spirit at Its Finest

If you want a game that’s competition and teamwork combined in one, you have to try Flip Cup. In this team-based game, one person drinks from a plastic cup and then flips it over. The goal is super simple: chug the drink and flip the cup over by flicking the rim with your fingers. The first team to flip all their cups wins. The secret to winning is quick reflexes and good vibes with your team. This game is best with two teams but is just as much fun with a big group divided into smaller teams.

Kings Cup: Classic for a Reason

You can’t have a drinking games list without adding Kings Cup to it. This is the ultimate party game that never gets old. It’s played with a deck of cards, and everyone has a chance to pick cards with unique fun rules. It may include kicking off waterfalls, chugging drinks, or making someone drink; however, the rules can be unpredictable, especially when one person draws the “King” card.

What makes this game fun is that there’s a big cup in the middle called “Kings Cup” and everybody goes around adding their drink to it. Once that final King card gets pulled from the deck, whoever picks it has to drink whatever is in the cup, which can be challenging if people have thrown in random drinks.

Kings Cup is such an excellent game for large groups since it’s really easy to understand, goes quickly, and gets everyone in on the fun. However, that middle cup can really bring some wild and questionable drink mixes!
