Bbq adults

[PurpleRobe]

Hi,

I'm hosting a bbq for friends next weekend. All adults. About 12 people. I'm OK with the food and drink but want to do something entertainment wise. It can take this group a while to loosen up so was thinking some games might help.

Do you have any ideas for games to get people interacting and having fun?

Previously I've gone all out with sports day style games and then beer pong . But I don't have the energy to organise a relay of 10 games this year. It went down really well mind. But looking for something simpler.

Not keen on Cornhole or jenga as they can be boring.

Thanks so much

Do these people know each other/ like playing games etc?

I usually hate this sort of thing and would rather warm up socially with a wine or two, but recently we played Molkky at a BBQ which is a Finnish gale involving numbered skittles. You can get a set on Amazon. I have to admit it was quite fun.

Taskmaster? Loads of good ideas on line.

I would just put a pack of playing cards/ Uno on the table. Maybe a swingball or small badminton bet set up, people might just start playing organically then.

I hate forced fun!

As long as everyone likes games, I'd get them all to organise one each.

Make sure yiu know your audience. Will they enjoy that. I can think of nothing worse than going to a friend's house & being told were playing games. No thanks

Croquet or Boules if you have a lawn. We did that at a friend's and, despite my misgivings, I enjoyed it. Also did rounders as well - that got quite out of hand.

Bob the weasel

I confess that I am another that would hate this. Maybe leave some around and people can play if they want?

Even though I hate party games, do leave Twister out for when everyone has had a few.

Herd Mentality is a really good game and will work with a group of 12 - best games buy ibe made

Cards against humanity.

Don't get got is a great card game! And telestrations. Both really fun for a bbq/gathering.

telestrations after dark for the more 'adult' version

I love this game with adults after a few drinks, but if your friends are of an even slightly delicate disposition, don’t like swearing or crudeness, then opt for the family version instead!

The standard version is hilarious for the right audience but it is very near the knuckle. I have family
members who would be very offended by it!

I'd advise against serving adult, children are much juicier.

Sorry 😅

Yeah they all know each other and like games

Thanks, I'll check it out!

They do like games so that's a fab idea. Thanks!

Thanks I'll check it out

Thanks so much

Boule, quoits and croquet if you have space.

Ah yeah I love cards against humanity. Probably a good one for the end of the night 😀

Oooops 😅😅

A card game -
the mind
cards against humanity
moral conflict
or a quiz?

The answer is pétanque.
