Party games that liven up the fun at home. Enjoyable recreational games (71–80)
musical instrument
There are many different kinds of musical instruments, and there are major differences in how they produce sound.
This activity tests whether you can form a clear image of an instrument not by how it looks, but solely by how it feels to the touch.
If the instrument chosen is one you’ve handled before, you might arrive at the answer right away.
Since it’s easier to understand when you can hear hints while touching, I recommend using acoustic instruments—starting with percussion—as your prompts.
It’s also interesting that the way you touch the instrument can change the way it sounds.
balloon
This is about whether you can guess just by the feel of touching an inflated balloon.
You might be able to tell that it’s something rounded and filled with air, but distinguishing whether it’s a ball or a balloon seems difficult.
If you press harder, you can sense the thinness of the material, but be careful—press too hard and it might pop.
Some people might even find the tied mouth of the balloon and figure it out from there.
It’s also a prompt where you can enjoy the reactions right before it pops or at the exact moment it bursts.
Jenga
Jenga, the ultra-famous game that nearly everyone has tried at least once.
With its simple rule of removing one block at a time and stacking it back on top, Jenga is a perfect way for people of all ages to have fun together—and a great time-killer for family get-togethers! It may look simple, but it’s actually a brainy, strategic game: you have to think about which block to pull and how to stack it so you can stay safe while putting pressure on the next player.
If you prepare some funny penalties for the losers, it might get even more exciting.

Balloon Tape Peeling Game
It’s a game where strips of tape are stuck onto a fully inflated balloon, and players take turns carefully peeling the tape off one by one without popping the balloon.
While it’s typically played as an individual competition, you can also make it a table-versus-table match by having each person peel one piece of tape from a balloon and compete on how many successful peels they achieve.
If a balloon pops, the loud noise can heighten the lively party atmosphere.
Adding a time limit for peeling the tape introduces the challenge of being both careful and quick, making the game even more exciting.

The “Heart-Pounding Shark” where you never know when you’ll get eaten.
Players take turns fishing out the fish from the shark’s mouth.
If the shark suddenly snaps and you get eaten, you lose.
It’s a game based entirely on luck, so everyone can enjoy it regardless of age!
Ghost Blitz
Here’s a brainy game titled “Ghost Blitz.” It features figurines of a ghost, a book, a chair, a bottle, and a mouse.
The key elements you need in this game are shape and color.
Flip a card, quickly grab the figurine that matches the card’s color and shape, and collect the cards.
The trick elements that throw you off all at once make it a challenging and fun game.
Azul
Become a master tiler and impress the king! AZUL is a game where you place tiles according to the rules, and the player with the highest score wins.
It feels like a puzzle game, but you’ll also need strategy as you plan how to maximize your points!
