Guide

Party games without cards

No box, no printing, no one reading a rulebook aloud. Some of the best party games need nothing at all; the rest need only the phones already in everyone's pocket.

With nothing at all

  1. Board game

    Charades

    Act out a word or title without speaking while your team guesses.

    As long as you like
    You need

    No

    Good for Any group, any age.

    Not for Shy players who hate performing.

  2. Board game

    Werewolf / Mafia

    The classic: secret roles, a moderator runs the nights, and the village votes someone out each day.

    Players
    Usually 8 or more
    Length
    30–90 min
    You need
    Paper slips for the roles

    Yes

    Good for Big groups with a confident moderator.

With just your phones

Secret roles and words are where cards used to earn their place. A phone each does the dealing, the counting and the timing.
