Party game - 7

This game can be played amongst all age groups... requires GK :)

Pictures of locations are shown. The guests have to identify the place and name 2 famous people from that place.

Eg: Display picture of Vidhana Souda ...
Ans : Bengaluru / Bangalore ...  Anil Kumble, Kiran Majumdar Shah

It gets very tricky since we associate a lot of people to Bangalore in our mind, but they may not necessarily be from there. I thought of Ramakrishna Hegde , Ambareesh and others ...but they are not from Bangalore.

US States - Party game - 6

There is an episodes in "Friends" where they play a game to write 50 states in the US within 15 mins (I forget if it is 10 or 15 mins ... but it is supposed to be timed). Ross initially thinks it is silly, but soon gets absorbed into the game ... he gets 49 towards the end of the episode and repeats one state to bring the count to 50.
 Well why did I write this episode ... I think it is a very interesting party game indeed ... as much as it sounds easy, it isn't. To add to difficulty, one may include State name with Capital as a clause.

My best score .... I am not telling anymore 😏

Party Game - 5 - Music

Here is a party game with a slight twist to the popular Ankakshari ...

One team/ person sings a song (only antara or song beginning), the next team picks up a word from the same and sings a song beginning with the chosen word.

Eg:
Team 1 : Mera naam Chin Chin Chu ....
Team 2 : Naam kya hai, pyaar ka maara .
Team 1 : Pyaar diwaana hota hai mastana hota hai
Team 2: Diwana hua baadal ...

Party Game - 4 - General

Last evening I heard this on radio and thought it would be a good party game.
This is played between 2 people. If there are more folks in the party, then they may be split into teams. Each team can send one member as a representative.

The game rule is very simple. One person asks questions while the other person responds.
Sounds simple ... but the twist here is the person responding should not "answer / respond" the question posed by the other player.

Eg:
Person 1: Which is your favorite sport ?
Person 2: It is going to rain tonight.

Person 1 : Yeah .. the gray clouds are gathering ... should start raining around 5:00pm
Person 2 : I think weather report says 7:00pm ...
    If person 2 answers something on the lines of above, Person 1 wins points :)
Person 2 answer should be anything but on weather. Something like "My favorite move is Sholay".

This could be a timed Q&A... 60 seconds should be ideal.
Person 1's challenge is to frame questions so you force the other person to respond.
Person 2's challenge is to put on "Special thinking cap" and refuse to answer any question posed.

Do try ....

Beware of questions like "Are you ready to play the game?" or "I think time is up" or "What is your name?" that Person 1 can ask .. do not fall trap to these questions :)

Party game - 3 : Baby Shower

* Hand paper / pen to the guests.
* Ask them to list the Mother / Child pair from Hindu Mythology.
* Time the guests.

Eg: Kunti - Arjuna, Subhadra - Abhimanyu etc. Some smart guests will take the name of each Pandava and few Kauravas with their mothers. Allow them to :) They will feel accomplished with their long list :)

Party Game - 2 - Mythology

Indian Mythology party game

Select an Indian Mythology epic like Ramayan / Mahabharata. Make chits of alphabets.
Make teams. Have the teams with down the Mythological characters beginning with the chosen chit alphabet. The writing part will is of course timed. Each correct character written will fetch 10 points.

Eg: Say letter K is picked ... Krishna, Krishne (Draupadi), Kunti, Kamsa are some of the characters that may be written by all teams ... characters like Keechaka, Krupacharya, Kalinga (the serpent) will be surprises.

Try this game ...

Party Game - 1 - General

This game can be played with folks of all age group. Not much prep work needed and provides a lot fun to the all ...
 Prepare chits of situations to suit the audience. Have the audience pick a chit and narrate an incident related to the situation they picked.
 We played this game in our Chiti party and boy what fun we had. Some of the situations given were :
* How did you meet your spouse?
* Recollect an incident that brings a smile on your face even today.
* Share a kitchen disaster
* First movie experience with your spouse
* If you could change one thing about your marriage, what would it be?
* Your favorite cook in the family
* Share an incident with your bestie
* How did you spend your summer vacation growing up?

What is nice about this game is not only do you learn something nice about the person sharing the incident, but others also recollect their personal experience in this minds :)

Next time you are pressed for time and have a party, try this game. You are bound to have fun.
