20 Fun Adult Birthday Party Games You’ll All Enjoy!

1: Giant Game of Jenga

If you are looking for a fun ice breaker for your party, then a great game of giant Jenga is sure to be it, especially if you are throwing an outdoor summer theme party!

Have your guests take turns removing a block from the tower and balancing it on top. This will create a taller and increasingly unstable structure as the game goes on.

The last player to successfully place a block at the top, without it tumbling over, wins.

2: Cards Against Humanity

Another great way to get the party going is to gather all your party guests for a game of ‘Cards Against Humanity’.

Called ‘the party game for horrible people’ every player gets a go at asking a question from a black card while everyone else has a go at answering with their funniest white card.

Each team takes turns until one team eliminates all of their opponent’s cups.
