Your best at-home games - not board games or parlour games

I’m looking for fun games for the family or just adults to play at parties for those who don’t like board games or parlour games such as charades etc.

I recently saw a kit that you can use to turn your table into an air hockey game. That sort of thing would be perfect.

Does anyone have other suggestions along those lines?

Beer pong, Herd Mentality, Hitster, Cards against humanity, the sock game, poetry for neanderthals

Thanks! Any you can suggest that are more physical in nature? Beer pong a great suggestion but I’m not sure I’m young enough for beer shots!

Klask is AMAZING for this - massive hit with all family/friends, they can't leave it alone. A bit pricy though! amzn.eu/d/0Ndzv2w

We put all sorts in the cup! Yes, those listed are my go to party games as people love them - especially the sock game (this is a must). I like the ones below but haven't played the Beat That one yet. Go Fish is also a good one- you split into teams, the host them shouts out stuff you have to find - fastest team back gets a point, repeat until one team reaches an agreed score

Swing The Bollock? Put an orange in one leg of a pair of tights, and tie the other leg round your waist, then you try to knock over skittles (or empty wine bottles) by swinging the orange without using your hands. It's very funny, especially when you've had a few fizzy wines.

My sister showed us a great one which involves rolling maltesers down a retractable metal tape measure into someone’s mouth.

someone has to sit with the end of the tape measure in their mouth, and then you gradually see how long you can make the tape measure and still roll a malteser down it. It’s quite a knack of angle, speed of roll, steadiness of launch etc. It was EPIC. We ended up with someone standing on the kitchen counter.

This one sounds hilarious.

some really great suggestions and exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for!
