Party Games - Adults  

Grape Stomping 

Right out of the I Love Lucy episode when they are in France, you’ll select two “key” guests (better with a male & female) to compete in this action-packed event favorite.  We fill two large round containers with grapes and ask the two contestants to take off their shoes.  When the music starts (the Tarantella naturally), the two contestants start stomping on the grapes for about 3 minutes.  The crowd usually stands and everyone gets into the competition.  When the music stops, each contestant gets out of the containers and we will pour the contents onto a large screen which is sitting on top of an empty container.  The screen filters the smashed grapes from the juice which falls into the container.  We then pour the container of juice into a large clear measuring cup to determine how much grape juice was created.  We hold it up for everyone to see and cheer to.  We then measure all over again with the second contestant’s container and compare it to the first contestant to determine the winner.  With this popular contest, everyone comes out a winner. 

Musical Men

This is adult version of Musical Chairs where for each chair remaining on the floor, there’s a man sitting on it.  Once the music starts, the ladies walk around the chairs in a circle until the music stops.  The ladies try and sit on the laps of the gentlemen.  It’s a great icebreaker and a fun way for your participants to meet other guests. 

F.O.N.D.L.E.

This game is for couples (married or boyfriend/girlfriend).  We have the men sit on chairs in a straight line and remove any jewelry or easily identifying items.  The ladies are than blindfolded and we ask them to go and touch each guy to try and determine which one is theirs.  You might be surprised by the results. 

Pass The Buck

An envelope is taped under one chair at each table.  At the appropriate time, I’ll ask everyone to look under their chairs and pull off the envelopes.  We can either stop there, or we can have the guests pass the envelopes around the table until the music stops.  I’ll ask someone for a number between 1- 6 (using 3 as an example) and the envelope then gets passed to the third person on their right who gets to keep the prize inside the envelope. 

Freeze Dance

This is played with either individuals or with couples.  When the music stops, participants have to freeze.  The last one to stop dancing is out.  This will continue until we have a winner.  We will inform the dancers that they have to dance to the rhythm of the beat. 

Snowball Dance

We will select a couple to start the dancing.  When the music stops, each dancer will than choose another partner from the crowd to dance (this puts four people on the dance floor).  This will continue until everyone is dancing.  This is a great icebreaker for your party. 

Huggy Bear Dance

All participants move to the dance floor. Once the music stops, all dancers will have to hug in groups from whatever number we call out once the music stops.For any dancers that cannot find enough people to hug by that number, they are out.

Toothpick Lifesaver Pass

Two teams are asked to stand in lines, positioned so they are most visible to the audience.  Everyone is given a toothpick.  The first person in line receives a lifesaver candy and places it on the toothpick they are holding their mouth.  On our signal, the lifesaver is passed from team member to team member, toothpick to toothpick.  Hands are not allowed to touch anything.  If the lifesaver drops, a new one is supplied and play continues.  The first team to pass their lifesaver to the last person in line wins. 

Chinny Chin Chin

All participants will be lined up in two or more lines by male, female, male, etc.  The object of the game is to pass an orange between their chins up and back down the line until one team wins.  Contestants cannot use their hands.  If an orange falls, it must be tossed back to the first two players in line to start over again. 

Fruit Relay Race

Teams are divided up into equal teams.  Contestants from each team must race to one end of the room and back, then tag the next team couple who then do the same and so forth.  There’s a trick however – they have to race with a piece of fruit between their foreheads without dropping the piece of fruit. To make it even more fun, each team draws their fruit out of a bag…you could get a banana, orange, or even a grape.  

Special Person (Corporate Mingle Game)

We’ll need three $10 bills to start off.  You will choose one of your guests and tell them to write down the 1^st, 10^th & 20^th person that comes up and introduces themselves.  At dinner, have the special person announce who the three people are and give them each $10.  It is a great way to get everyone to mingle and introduce themselves.
