Curses
Most of the games we talk about on Fun Party Games for Adults are games you can play using materials from around the house or things you can get for very cheap at a grocery store. Today we're going to do something a little bit different and refer a game that you would actually need to buy.
The game is called Curses. It is a game that will have everyone laughing and making a fool of themselves. There is no need to be embarrassed because everyone looks just as silly as you. The point of the game is to be the last one left and catch everyone else not completing their curse.
Each turn you take you draw a card that will have you do an action. Examples: "Tell someone in the room why your phone service is the best." "You are a doctor, tell a friend what is wrong with them.". You must do the action on the card, it is not important how well you do it, just that you try. After you do the action you will draw a curse card and give it to someone else. Examples: "name a pizza topping every time someone stands up." "you can't bend your arms for the rest of the game." "Every time you speak you must play the air guitar." As the game progresses everyone will have multiple curses they will need to remember and do throughout the game. If you catch someone not doing one of their curses you will ring a bell. When the bell is rung and you point out the curse they forgot to do they will turn that card over and they no longer have to do it, this sounds good right? Wrong, once you have 3 cards turned over then you are out of the game. When you go out of the game you give all of your curses that are still face up to other players.
This game is best played with about 6-8 players.

No Name Relay
W call this No Name Relay because it's a relay we played once but we have completely forgotten the name of it and can't find it. It's almost your average relay except for one major detail. This is a great game to play with a big group of friends or at family reunions. You most likely want to play it outside. At Fun Party Games for Adults we know that this will get your taste buds going.
Materials: Paper sacks, random foods, tin foil
# of Players: 10 or more
Note: Make sure you are aware of any food allergies in the group.
How to Play: Place a paper bag at one end of the yard/room for each team. Divide the group into two or three teams. Wrap the items of food in the tin foil and put them in the bag. Line the teams up on the other side of the yard/room from the paper sacks. When you say "go" the first players on each team will run to their sack, pull out an item of food, unwrap it and eat it (they must eat it to keep their team in the game). Once they are finished eating the item of food they will run back to the team and tag the next player who will then run to the bag of food. Players will continue to do this until 1 team has eaten all items in their sack and the person to take the last item of food puts the paper bag on their head and makes it back to the team.
Fun Party Games for Adults' list of food ideas:
(One suggestion...you might want to have some foods be good tasting and others not so good tasting, or maybe foods that wouldn't be eaten by themselves)
Candy bar
Peanuts
Popcorn
Sandwich
Apple
Peanut Butter
Onion
Broccoli
Chicken Nugget
Plain Tuna
Beans
Anchovies
Have fun!

Spoons
Fun Party Games for Adults is sure you will love this game! You will need to be quick and possibly even sneaky. This is a great card game for small intimate parties and groups.
Materials: deck of cards and spoons
# of people: 3-8 players
In spoons, the goal is to get a 4 of a kind and make sure you aren't the last to try and grab a spoon.
Everyone sits in a circle either at a table or on the floor. You should have enough spoons for all but one player (kind of like musical chairs). Put the spoons in the middle of the circle. Shuffle the cards and deal 4 cards to each player.
To start the game the first person to deal will grab a card off the top of the remaining deck. He will either keep that card and pass one from his hand to the left or pass the card he draws to his left. Each person in the circle will get a card from the person on their right and decide which card they want to pass to their left. The person at the end will put the card he doesn't want in a discard pile. The goal is to get a set of 4 cards of the same number. If you get a set of 4 you grab a spoon from the center. Once the first person grabs a spoon everyone races to grab the rest of the spoons. Because there is one less spoon than there are people, one person will be spoonless. That person gets an S, starting to spell the word SPOONS. If that person loses again they get a P and so on until they spell the word SPOONS. Whoever spells SPOONS first is out. Play continues until only one person has not lost enough times to spell SPOONS, that person is the winner.
Variations:
Water Spoons: With each round whoever loses has to drink a large glass of water, and no one can go to the bathroom until they are out of the game. If they give in and go then they are automatically out.
Extreme Spoons: Instead of putting the spoons in the middle of the circle, put them on the other side of the room or even in another room. You can even add to the extremeness of it by putting obsticals in the way like pillows, chairs, other furniture, etc. This way when the first person takes off to get a spoon the group is racing, tackling and wrestling for spoons! Be careful!

Bum Charades
Fun Party Games for Adults suggest you play this game with a group of people who are comfortable with each other, it's great for families or a group of close friends. It can be kind of embarassing for some people if they don't know the others in the group.
The only thing needed for this game is something to keep time like a watch, kitchen timer or even a sand glass timer from another game. You can play with any number of people. It is helpful to have a fairly large space to play in.
How to Play: Split the group into 2 teams. The group chooses a topic like, fruits, flowers, animals, characters, colors etc. Team 1 will choose a player to go up and spell a word with their bum that relates to the topic. The rest of team 1 tries to guess the word their teammate is spelling. If they guess the word within 2 minutes team 1 gets a point. If they can't get it within 2 minutes then team 2 gets 1 guess of what the word is, if they get it right they steal the point from team 1, if they don't get it right then no one gets a point. Then it is team 2's turn to pick a player to spell a word with their bum. You can change topics as often as you like and play to whatever score you want.
Bottoms Up!

Play: Each team will be set up on opposite sides of the pool. All players will start out by their wall of the pool. Drop the watermelon into the center of the pool. As the watermelon hits the water the teams will move to the center to get the watermelon. Players attempt to get the watermelon to the other team's wall and keep it away from their own wall. watermelon can be pushed or floated in the water but can't be lifted out of the water. If the watermelon is lifted out of the water that is a foul, whoever fouled must sit out of the pool for 2 minutes before returning. Players can "wrestle" for possession of watermelon but may not hit, kick, bite, pull hair, scratch or choke, these are all considered fouls. Whoever gets the watermelon to touch the opposite team's wall first wins a point. After a point is scored re-grease the watermelon and start again. Playing to 3 or 5 points is good but you can play to whatever you want.
Cheers!

Water Balloon Volleyball
With summer in full swing, Fun Party Games for Adults will be posting some fun summertime games. To start we will be doing water balloon volleyball. You will most likely get wet in this game so make sure to wear clothes you don't mind getting wet in. This is great to play in a series of water games or by itself. If you will be going inside for the rest of the party, guests may want to bring some extra clothes. Fun Party Games for Adults wishes you the best in your summertime games and follies!
Materials: a bunch of water balloons, a volleyball net and a bunch of towels.
Before the game: Set up the net and fill up all the water balloons.
To play: Divide up into teams. There should be an even number of players on each team. Each team will then divide up into pairs. Each pair will have 1 towel, each person will hold an end of it. The first team will start with one of the pairs putting a water balloon on their towel, the pair will then move together to “throw” the water balloon over the net with the towel. The team on the other side will try to catch the water balloon with their towels and then “throw” it back over to the other side. When a water balloon breaks, the team on the opposite side of the net gets a point. The first team to get to 21 points wins.
Enjoy Water Balloon Volleyball!

Mafia
Mafia is a role play game. Each player is a citizen of a small town. This game consists of bluffing, guessing, convincing, manipulating, revenge, debate and much much more. Fun Party Games for Adults invites you to be creative and change or add to this game as you please!
Setting: A small town of good citizens has been invaded by the mafia. By day the mafia appear as normal citizens but at night they murder citizens of the town in their sleep. To rid their little town of the mafia the citizens hire a detective to find out who is doing all the killings. To keep himself from getting killed by the mafia, the detective goes undercover as one of the citizens. The narrator knows all and is in charge of making sure the game goes smoothly.
Set up: Create a citizen card (Index cards or small pieces of paper work well) for all players except for 3 or 4 depending on how many people are playing (See chart below). Create Mafia Cards for 2 or 3 players and 1 detective card.
Set up a circle of seats, make sure there are enough seats for each player.
Before you begin: Choose 1 person to be the narrator, this person will not play the game but will be giving instructions and making sure play runs smoothly. Have the narrator shuffle the player cards and give each player a card without letting anyone else see. Once everyone knows if they will be a citizen, mafia or detective play starts.
To Play: This game takes place over a series of “days” and “nights”.
The game begins with the first night. Everyone goes to sleep (The narrator asks everyone to close their eyes)
The narrator asks the mafia to open their eyes. The narrator then asks the mafia who they want to murder. The mafia then agree to kill off one citizen by pointing. The narrator then asks the mafia to close their eyes.
The narrator asks the detective to open his eyes. The detective points to a person, the narrator then nods their head “yes” if that person is a mafia and shakes their head “no” if they are a citizen. The narrator asked the detective to close his eyes.
The narrator then asks everyone to open their eyes and announces it is morning. The narrator then reveals who was killed by the mafia (stories of how the mafia did it are encouraged.).
The citizens all discuss who might be the mafia. Once 2 people are nominated and seconded as mafia members there is a vote. Whichever person has the most votes is run out of town or hung for being a member of the mafia. That player then reveals if he was a mafia, citizen or detective.
Night then falls and the game starts over until either the mafia win by killing off all the citizens or the towns people win by getting rid of all the mafia.
Additional Rules:
Those who have been killed and are no longer in play may keep their eyes open for the rest of the game but may not talk or hint in any way to the remaining players who the mafia is.
Suggestion from Fun Party Games for Adults:
Another way to make it fun is for each person to have a character and to have each person introduce themselves at the beginning of the game. EX: Bert Gilson the blacksmith, Rhonda Pickens the school teacher or Samuel Simpson the shoemaker.
If you have more than 10 players and want to have a second detective you can.
If there is a tie in voting for who should be run out of town as the mafia, each nominee can argue their case and then the players vote again until someone changes their vote.
Enjoy!

Two Truths and a Lie
While growing up, this was a game we played a number of times in different settings, like school, girls camp, birthday parties etc. Fun Party Games for Adults challenges you to be as creative as possible with this one. It works well as a get to know you game.
The party guests go around the room taking turns telling 2 things about themselves that are true and 1 thing about themselves that is a lie. The rest of the guests then have to decide which one is the lie. Each player that gets the lie right gets 1 point. If no one guesses the lie right then, the teller gets 3 points. After everyone has taken a turn the points are added up and the player with the most points wins.
If there is a game you remember playing as a kid but don't remember the rules or name of the game feel free to leave a comment for us at Fun Party Games for Adults with the details you do remember and we will do our best to figure out what it is and post it on the blog.

Four on a Couch
Fun Party Games for Adults brings you this fun game that will test your memory and keep everybody moving. Don't forget who's on your team and try and remember what name has been called already.
Materials: A couch or bench plus seats for all players plus 1 extra. Paper with each players name on it.
Prep: Write each players name on a different piece of paper.
How to win: Get 4 of the players on your team on the couch.
How to play: Create a circle with the seats including the couch. Divide into teams, boys vs. girls is easiest if there is equal number of each. Put 2 players of each team on the couch so there are 4 people on the couch. The rest of the players sit anywhere else in the circle leaving one chair empty. Have everyone draw a different name written on the papers. Each person keeps the name that they have a secret. The person to the right of the empty seat asks one of the players to come sit next to them. The person who has that name on their paper gets up and sits in the empty seat, then the caller trades name papers with the person who moved.
Example: Chloe calls Bryan to come sit in the empty seat. Sidney, who has the name Bryan, goes to sit in the empty chair. Chloe and Sidney now trade names. Now we all know that Chloe has the name Bryan and Chloe knows what name Sidney has but no one else does.
Whoever is to the right to the new empty seat calls out a new name. As the game progresses the players start to learn who is holding what name. The players who are on the couch will want to remember what names their team mates are holding so they they can call them onto the couch when a spot opens up. The players in the chairs will want to remember the names that the opposite team is holding so they can pull them off of the couch to free up a spot for their teammates on the couch. Whichever team gets all 4 couch spots filled with their team members first wins.

Psychiatrist
Psychiatrist is a great game to play for people of all ages and you can play with very large groups. We play with our whole family including everyone from grandma and grandpa to the grandchildren. It's not really a game for keeping score, just for having fun. Fun Party Games for Adults loves this game because it's great for all different types of people as well!
In this game one person leaves the room. While that person is gone the rest of the group chooses a psychological problem that they all have. Once the illness is decided the player who went out of the room, the "psychiatrist" comes in and starts asking questions to the other players. The players must answer in the manner of the psychological problem they all have. The psychiatrist has to try and guess what the illness is that they all have by the answers the players give. When the psychiatrist guesses the illness correctly a new psychiatrist is chosen and the rest of the players pick a new illness.
Examples of possible illnesses (others may be made up or chosen by players):
Everyone thinks they are the person to the right of them.
Everyone thinks they are a superhero
Everyone tells the opposite of the truth
Everyone thinks they are a teenager
Everyone has to give an answer that starts with the same letter
Everyone has to give an answer that is exactly 5 words long
Everyone has to touch their face when they answer
Everyone gives an answer related to fishing, sewing, baking etc.

Farkle
Farkle is one of our favorite games here at Fun Party Games for Adults. Everyone gets excited and you can play with an unlimited amount of players. Also over the years we have played Farkle with many different people and everyone tends to have their own little changes or “house rules”. So if you have played a little differently before that is okay or even if you haven’t and want to tweak the rules to fit your family/group better, feel free to do so. Fun Party Games for Adults is all about making the games we post your own!
Materials: 6 dice, paper and pen for keeping score
# of players: any number (4-8 is best)
How to win: player with the most points wins (a common number of points to go to is 10,000).
How to play: Players take turns rolling all six dice trying to get as many points as possible on each roll.
Points:
Single 1=100 pts.
Single 5=50 pts.
Three 1's=1000
Three 2's=200
Three 3's=300
Three 4's=400
Three 5's=500
Three 6's=600
Three pairs=750
Straight 1-6=1500
If ever you roll the dice and there are no points showing this is called a Farkle and your turn is done.
If you roll the dice and at least 1 die shows points you can lock in those points and end your turn or you can risk those points and roll the remaining dice. You can decide to stop rolling and lock in points at any time, but if you ever roll 0 points, you farkle and lose all points earned and your turn is over.
You can not combine points from different rolls.
If you happen to score points on all 6 dice, you may pick up all the dice and continue rolling until you decide to either lock in your points or you Farkle.
The final round begins as soon as someone gets 10,000 points or higher. Each player then takes an additional turn. Whoever has the most points over 10,000 wins.
Some additional house rules:
You must get at least 300 points to lock in your score
If you Farkle 3 times in a row it is worth negative points (500 for example) or you lose all of your points.
If the player before you locks in with dice left over you can adopt their score and try and roll the remaining dice to add onto their score. If you roll points with the remaining dice you can lock in all those points. If you do not roll points your turn is over and you Farkle.
Have fun playing Farkle!
