We are having our neighbours in for a meal next weekend. There will be about 12 or 13 of us. All adults. It is an annual pre Christmas event and we usually have a three course meal , chat a lot and play a silly game for maybe 10-20 minutes. I have exhausted our silly games and wondered if anyone had a fun game they could suggest please. Thanks in anticipation.

If the game is short - only about ten minutes it's not too much for non- gamers to endure and adds to the conviviality!

What a lot of enthusiastic gamers ! Sounds like fun but am I alone in thinking " I hope we don't have to play a game when we visit our friends" Would make me feel very uncomfortable .

Find the Murderer - send one person out of the room. Quietly between the remaining guests choose a murderer.
Bring the 'detective' back into the room - everyone carries on as normal drinking, chatting, eating etc. The Murderer then begins winking at people who must die convincingly!! Scream. Arghh!! work well here!! or quietly if preferred!! The detective must guess who the Murderer is - hopefully before everyone is murdered and then you can play again with a new detective and murderer!! Silly game but fun!

Thank you for responding mumofmadboys - sounds like you had a fun time! 😂

Well in the end I played a game I already knew! After the meal I got the men to sit in the lounge with a trouser leg rolled up to the knee. One by one the wives were brought in blindfolded and had to feel each leg and try and recognise their husbands leg! Caused a lot of laughter and hilarity! I very much enjoyed everyone's suggestions and hoped it helped others to find a good game for their Christmas festivities. Thanks all

mumofmadboys was asking for a party back in November. Some spammer has revived the thread. Nonetheless it could still be relevant, especially for those with a house full over Christmas. (If they have time to come and read Gransnet!)

An old post! I wonder what mumofmadboys played?

I don't like playing games but the GC had Christmas Articulate must admit it was great fun, doesn't take long to play. Just looked online and it's half-price at The Works.
