Little bit of “how well do you know the cue-giver” strategy, hard to be competitive, fun to see how your friends+fam interpret color / what things they associate with color 😌

10/10 road trip game
1 person (let’s call them the thinker; you need at least 3 ppl total to play) thinks of a word. don’t tell anyone! they say the first letter of the word.
the rest of the players (the guessers) start thinking of words that begin with that letter. when someone thinks of one, they give a hint that will hopefully make at least one other guesser think of the same word.
let’s say the first letter is ‘d’. Guesser 1 would say something like “I’m thinking of a country….” if another guesser can think of a country that starts with ‘d’, they say “CONTACT!” and count down 3-2-1. if both guessers say the same word at the same time, the thinker owes them another letter.
the twist is that the thinker can also guess at words, and if they correctly say the word before the guessers can, they don’t owe a letter. so the thinker could say “it’s not Denmark” before the two guessers say it, and they don’t owe a letter.
really fun bc it makes you rely on in-jokes and stuff to try to avoid giving generic clues the thinker can get.

Fishbowl is a classic parlor game where everyone writes down a few prompts on papers and mixes them up in a bowl. There are three rounds:
1) Taboo, try to get your team (or group) to guess the prompt without saying it
2) charades
3) players get a single, one word clue is used to get team members to guess the phrase/word on the paper.
This game can be played different ways, but I typically like to split the group into two teams. Each team gets a minute to get as many cards as possible, then the other team gets a minute. The person who draws from the bowl changes with every swap of the team’s turn. Each correctly guessed prompt is a point. This continues until all the slips of paper are gone from the bowl. At the end of each round, all the prompts are put back in the bowl so that all players are already kind of familiar with these phrases going into a new round. And the team with the most points/cards at the end of all the rounds wins!
This game has definitely created some interesting, new vernacular for my friend group, as the prompts can be literally anything. Plus, it’s very easy to learn/teach and only requires items found around your house.

It probably has a better name but this is what everyone I know has called it. It’s a classic with simple rules that everyone can follow. You put a famous or well known persons name on the head of the person next to you and you go round asking 1 yes or no question at a time until someone guessed their person, then theyve won. You can then continue until everyone has guessed theirs correctly. This is a great one when people are feeling less creative/energised so don’t want to do anything like charades. a good end of the night game when wine or time have slowed you all down.
