Party games for adults and big groups
Grown-up party games are mostly about talking: bluffing, accusing your friends and defending yourself badly. These games put the setup on the TV and the secrets on each phone, so you can get straight to the arguing.
- Players
- From 2 to a room full; each game gives its own numbers
- You need
- A TV or screen with a web browser, and a phone for each player
- Set-up

Games for large groups
Most of our games take up to 20 players. For a big crowd, play in teams: the TV adds up each team's score. Emberbrook takes up to 18.
For the secret role games, smaller is often better: 6 to 10 players gives everyone a turn to talk.
Tips for a good night
- Start with Imposter. It takes a minute to explain and works with 3 or 20.
- Save the long one for the middle. Emberbrook or Shadow Squad, once everyone has arrived and settled in.
- Let the host play too. Choose Playing along, and the answers stay hidden from the host.
- Plan it as a show. See how to host a game show night.
