Few games match the intensity of Sticker Ninja.
Armed with a sticker sheet, such fun party games keep players on their
toes and can be played over the course of any gathering! Sneaky
tactics here include, chatting someone up or accidentally running into them while getting a drink just so you can deftly place your sticker onto them .
Instructions
Sneakily empty your sticker sheet by sticking them on other guests.
If your sticking attempt fails and you’re caught by your targets, they get to stick one on you.
First one to empty their sheet wins.
2. Drawful 2 — The game of hilariously bad drawings
Fun party games like Drawful 2 fit games mould by adding a modern twist to the traditional Pictionary formula!
With more wacky phrases and opportunities for witty mischief, you’ll
laugh at crude drawings as you fool others with your misleading titles.
Players get a unique phrase according to which they have to draw an image on their mobile device (without an eraser tool!).
When a
player’s drawings get featured, other players have to craft creative
titles to fool everyone into thinking it was the original prompt.
You get
points for fooling people with your crafty title when it’s not your
drawing being featured and when players guess the correct title to your
drawing when your drawing is featured.
There’s even a family-friendly mode so inappropriate prompts are omitted.

3. Who Am I — Great for icebreaking
Who Am I
is a perfect starter to any party’s games as they
encourage guests to mingle and socialise! While interacting, players
must think of creative ways to gain information without giving up
obvious hints, creating opportunities for all kinds of comical
interactions.
Instructions
Names of popular celebrities or characters are written on sheets of paper beforehand and pasted on guests’ backs.
Each guest
then gets a set number of “yes or no” questions, of which they can ask
other guests to help find out what’s written on their back.
The last person to guess correctly loses.
4. Hot Potato Selfie — Unglamourous pictures await
With easy instructions and a quick set-up, Hot Potato Selfie joins
our list of games that allows everyone to join in. All
you need is a circle of friends or family and a camera with a self
timer!
Instructions
The camera’s self timer is determined before the game begins.
Each
player holds the camera at arm’s length and points it at themselves for a
minimum amount of time before passing it to the next person.
Players
can choose to ‘cook the potato’ by holding the camera for longer than
required, though they risk this backfiring on them.
The passing goes on until the camera goes off, taking a hilarious picture that will be the source of many laughs in future.
5. Mafia — The joys of random accusations and skilful deception
No fun party games list is complete without Mafia! Known as Werewolf to some, Mafia is
a game of deceit and secret alliances as the mafia are tasked with
eliminating civilians without getting discovered by the watchful eyes of
onlookers. Acting as the perfect platform for interaction, Mafia joins
the ranks of great games because you’re encouraged to
mislead others and notice telltales signs, creating opportunities for
comedy as players slip up or accuse others at random.
Instructions
A narrator
is first assigned and keeps the game going by acting as moderator.
Narrators are expected to know the rules and move the game along when
there are stalemates.
Before the first night, cards are dealt to decide who plays what role.
While there are additional roles, the following are the core roles of every Mafia game:
Mafia have
to lie throughout the game and act like civilians, strategising on who
to first kill to avoid suspicion. This will also aid in thinning out the
crowd
Detectives have to sway the crowd and accuse the mafia without being openly obvious about their accusations
Civilians must deduce truth from lie and decide for themselves who the mafia are
During the
night cycle, everyone closes their eyes. The mafia open their eyes
during this period and can eliminate anyone after coming to a consensus.
That player is then eliminated and free to spectate the remaining game
but is banned from speaking to avoid influencing the game.
During the
day cycle, everyone must come to a decision on who to lynch. Majority
wins here and you’re free to say anything to accuse others or defend
yourself.
The
day-night cycle ends when the mafia is the majority (mafia are
victorious) or until civilians eliminate all mafia members (civilians
are victorious).
6. Five Ten — Classic Chinese drinking game with snacks
If your guests are too shy to finish the goodies, Five Ten is
the perfect way to distribute them! While it’s widely considered a
drinking game, you can easily replace the alcohol with snacks in this
fun finger-guessing game. Serving as the reward, winners can help
themselves to tasty treats when they guess correctly. The key here is
noticing the telltale signs of what players will throw out and yelling a
number that accounts for this.
Instructions
Players
sit in a circle and stick both their hands out with the aim of guessing
the exact number of open and closed hands in the circle. An open hand
represents five and a closed fist represents zero. For example, three
open hands would give 15 while six open hands would give 30.
Guessing
will be in multiples of five, with zero implying that everyone’s fist is
clenched and the maximum number implying that everyone’s hand is
opened.
Everyone
takes their turn to guess. A correct guess will allow you to guess
again, with the chance for other players to open or close their hands.
Players
who make correct guesses two times in a row are winners. Instead of
forcing the next person to guess to drink, correct guessers are rewarded
with a tasty snack.
7. Any Rhythm Game With Plastic Instruments
If you’ve invested in Rock Band or Guitar Hero
before, it’s time to dust off those plastic instruments as fun party
games like these are perfect Chinese New Year games! With varied track
lists and difficulties, you’ll be jamming your heart out to classics and
modern tracks. Our only complaint is the lack of Chinese New Year songs
for us to rock out to.
Instructions
Guitar and
Bass – Hold the respective coloured button as it comes down the
fretboard. Then, push or pull the strumming bar when the note’s in line
with the button prompt. Higher difficulty levels add more colours and
note variance into the mix so make sure to stretch those fingers
beforehand!
Drums –
While it might not be as nuanced as playing the guitar, drumming
accurately recreates reality as you’re striking your sticks on coloured
drum pads. You’ll definitely work up a good sweat as you crank up the
difficulty and strive to stay on beat.
Vocals –
Singing tests your ability to match the required pitch and enunciate the
lyrics. Singing is kept accessible as you don’t require powerful
vocals, simply keep to the pitch of the music and it’ll be enough.
Raising the difficulty makes pitch thresholds less forgiving, requiring
you to sing more accurately to hit the pitch.
