Eventful Evenings: 4 Group Activities you’ll Never Forget

Group activities might just seem like fun activities to do with friends, but they are more than that. These events refine listening skills, leadership skills, boost competition, and many other benefits. It is clear that there are real reasons why you love setting up these group events, and the following are five unforgettable ones you can try next.

 

Card or Board Games

A great option for any group get-together is to spend some time around a table playing a card or board game. There are a huge variety of board games available today, from classics like Cranium, Monopoly, and Settlers of Catan, to newer options like Cards Against Humanity, Betrayal at House on the Hill, or Dominion. For the most part, finding a board game that everyone can play will provide you with hours of fun for everyone. Card games are an excellent option if you’re on a budget because you have a wide variety of options and all you need is one pack of cards.

 

Venerable Video Games

Many people enjoy playing video games today, and there is quite the market for party-based video games. Just Dance, Mario Kart, and Wii Sports are just a few options. Depending on your circle of friends you could also give this idea a retro touch by bringing out the old school games that you and your friends still remember. If you break out an old console like a Super Nintendo or a Sega Genesis you could be in for a whole new world of video game fun. It might surprise you just how hard some of your old favorites are too.

 

Escape Rooms

One of the most entertaining new trends in group games is escape rooms offered by companies like Go Dream. Real-life rooms themed after the popular puzzle-style escape games that have long been available on mobile devices and computers. These rooms require intelligence, teamwork, and a bit of luck. An evening spent trying to think your way to freedom is definitely something your friends will remember. If you want a little more incentive, there are also theme rooms around that will have you racing the clock to escape a zombie or a similar danger.

 

Party Games

The idea behind Party games is to get the group to interact with each other and have a good time without needing any supplements like cards or board games. The group you’re with will play a large factor in determining whether or not these games are successful, as they rely largely on the people. If you’re planning to play a party game, be sure to spend some time thinking about your guests and what sorts of things they would like to do the most together

Keep in mind that these are just some of the activities that you can try. You can also talk to your friends to see if they have additional games you could try at your next get-together.
