Materials needed: Empty bingo cards and pens for each player

It can be played sitting in the living room, during dinner, in the car or even just while waiting for a movie to start. Fun Party Games for Adults knows that this game can keep you entertained for hours or just a few minutes.

How to Play: The group first picks a well-known story that everyone is familiar with. Examples: Goldie Locks and the 3 bears, Little Red Riding Hood, 3 Little Pigs etc. The goal is to tell the whole story hitting all the main points and then wrapping it up at the end.

Continue to go around the table until the story is complete.
Example of Play:
Bill: Once
Sally: Upon
Tina: a

Gary: Were

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.
