This game is a tag game that is played outside. It's great to play on a summer night because it's cooler. There is a lot of running so running in the heat of the afternoon could get a bit exhausting.
What you need: a large grassy area to play in
# of people: 6 or more
How to Play: Before starting designate someone who is "it" and someone who is the "extra player". Then have everyone pair up. The pairs will hook arms with each other and then stand in a circle. Once everyone is "hooked" then play will start. The person who is "it" will start chasing the "extra person". The "extra person" will try to hook onto one of the pairs before "it" catches them. If "it" catches the "extra person then the "extra person" becomes "it" and they will turn around and start chasing the person who was "it" but is now the "extra person". If the "extra person" hooks onto one of the couples before tagged then the person on the opposite side of the hook up is now the "extra person" and starts running from "it". For example: Cindy is hooked to Joe, if the "extra person" hooks onto Joe then Cindy now becomes the "extra person".
If you happen to have an odd number of people you can play and just have either 2 people be the "extra person" or have 2 people be "it".
Have Fun!

Oatmeal Relay
Fun Party Games for Adults is excited for you to try this game. If you like getting dirty and sticky this is the game for you. It's a great one for summer because you get all grouse and nasty outside and then you can follow it up with a water fight to get rinsed off!
Materials: swim suits or old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, 2 large pots of oatmeal, raisins
# of people: 8 or more
How to Play: Make 2 large pots of oatmeal and let it cool. Take the top half of each pot of oatmeal out of the pot and put temporarily into a bowl. Mix equal amounts of raisins into the bottom half of both oatmeal pots. Then put the oatmeal that you took out of the pots back in the pots to cover up the portion of oatmeal that has the raisins.
Take the pots of oatmeal outside and put them at the end of your relay course. Split the players into 2 teams. For the relay the players on the team will run to the pots of oatmeal one at a time and dig through the oatmeal to retrieve 1 raisin. Once the player has a raisin they will run it back to the team and drop it in a bucket. They will then tag the next team mate. The team to win is the first team to retrieve all the raisins in their pot.

Would You Rather?
This is a non competitive game that is more for the fun of the conversation it promotes. It can be part of a planned party with a large group or can be played on the spot while trying to pass time while on a flight with a friend or family member. Either way Fun Party Games for Adults is sure you will love this game.
No materials needed
# of players: 2-20
This game starts by randomly picking a player to pose a question that starts with "would you rather..." It usually ends with 2 options that are embarrassing, gross, scary, horrifying or just plain uncomfortable. The other players must then tell which thing they would rather do and explain why they would rather do that. Clarifying questions can be asked before answering. Once everyone has given their answers and reasons why, someone new will ask a new "would you rather....?" question.
Here are some examples of questions:
Would you rather have your nose grow every time you tell a lie or, always be forced to tell the truth no matter what?
Would you rather be mute or, have to always be talking or making noise?
Would you rather get punched in the gut every 5 minutes for a year or, have to eat a spider every 5 minutes for a year?
Have fun!

Police Lineup
Today Fun Party Games for Adults brings you a game called Police Lineup. This game was found in a great games book called "The Games Bible" written by Leigh Anderson. This is a must have book for any game lover.
Materials: pen and paper/index cards
# of players: 6-12 plus a moderator
Prep: Head of time the moderator will write down a bunch of "crimes". Some examples are "you wore white after labor day", "you farted in the elevator", "you left the toilet seat up" etc. Write 1 crime per paper or index card.
How to Play: As your guests arrive give them a card with a "crime" on it. Have them memorize it, write their name on it and give it back. Once everyone has a crime have the moderator draw one of the cards randomly. He will look at the name on the card and then invite 3 people (including the person who is on the card) to come to the front in a lineup. The moderator will then read the crime out loud. Then the other players will ask questions to try and figure out who is the guilty party. The 2 innocent people will be trying to act guilty because if they are not guilty and someone guesses they are then they get a point. The players then write down their guesses on who they think is the guilty one. The real guilty one confesses and then the next round begins.
Scoring: Everyone who guesses right gets a point. The 2 non guilty lineup members get a point if someone thought they were guilty. The guilty party gets a point if no one guessed him. The person with the most points after each crime is solved wins.
We are sure you will love this one!

Scavenger Hunts
Remember doing scavenger hunts when you were a kid? Well Fun Party Games for Adults has a few suggestions today on how to make them for adults.
Magazine or Newspaper Hunt: Hand everyone (or each team) a newspaper or a magazine and a pair of scissors. Then give them a list of words or things. They must find and cut out everything on the list. It can be either a picture of the items on the list or written in text form. The first person/team to get all the items on the list cut out wins.
Road Trip Hunt: Before leaving on your road trip make a list of things that you may find along the way. With this one you can play every man for himself, split into teams or just work all together to find the things. Have some of the things be things you have to collect like "a square of toilet paper from a gas station bathroom." Then have some other items on the list be things to take a picture of, like "picture of a welcome to Texas sign." Whoever has the most items on the list when you reach your destination wins.
Bridal Shower Hunt: For you next bridal shower shake it up by dividing into teams and have everyone go out and find wedding related things. Examples: a flower, rice, a thank you card, a flier for an exotic location, gift wrap etc. Set a time limit that everyone must be back by and whoever gets back on time with the most items on the list wins.
With these ideas you can find the child and have a great time!
