Truth or Dare
Truth or Dare is a classic girls’ night game. This is a fun and nostalgic choice, since most people grew up playing truth or dare at sleepovers. You can opt for the traditional version, or, if you’re throwing a 21+ girls’ night, you can spice things up with a more grown-up variation like truth or drink. This involves asking someone a juicy question, then they can either answer or take a swig of their alcoholic beverage. If you tend to have trouble coming up with questions or dares on the spot, check out this helpful list for some inspiration!
Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a fun way to learn all about your friends’ escapades. To play, everyone holds up ten fingers, then players take turns saying something they’ve never done, starting with the phrase “never have I ever.” If any of the other players have done this thing, they have to put down one finger. Another variation of the game involves taking a drink instead of putting down a finger, which is a good option if you’re serving cocktails or wine at your girls’ night. If you don’t want to worry about coming up with good “never have I ever” statements, you may want to purchase the Never Have I Ever: Girls Edition card game to make things easier. Just beware that this card game contains some mature content, so it’s meant for players who are 18+!
Most Likely To
Most Likely To is a hilarious conversation game to play with the girls. Everyone sits in a circle, and players take turns asking the group who’s most likely to do something. For example, “Who’s most likely to drunk call an ex?” or “Who’s most likely to go on a reality TV show?” Everyone points to the person in the circle who they think is most likely to do this thing, and the person with the most votes has to take a swig of their drink! Worried about coming up with good “Most Likely To” questions? We’ve got you covered! Check out this list for inspiration.
For the Girls
For the Girls is like a bunch of different games in one. It comes with 500 cards split up into different categories, like “Truth or Dare” “Most Likely To,” and “Never Have I Ever.” Each player rolls the dice to determine which type of card to pull. If they pull “Truth or Dare,” for example, they’ll need to answer a question or do a dare to keep the card. If they pull “Never Have I Ever…” they get to keep the card if they have done the thing written on it. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins! For the Girls is a Great option if you want to eliminate the brainstorming aspect from games like Truth or Dare or Never Have I Ever. It also has some pretty wild and hilarious prompts, so make sure you’re playing with an age-appropriate group!
Romance vs. The World
This game has been going viral on BookTok, and for good reason. It’s like Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, but for people who love romance novels. To play, one person pulls a black card which has a statement like “______. Bet you can’t have just one.” The other players in the group then need to pick one of their own cards, which might say things like “damaged fictional men” or “morally grey characters” to fill in the blank. The best card wins the round! Just like romance novels themselves, Romance vs. The World has some mature content, so it’s meant for adult players only. Of course, if you prefer to stick with the classics, regular Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity make great girls’ night games, too!
Lovestruck
This is the perfect game for lovers of The Bachelor or Love Island. The premise of Lovestruck is that all the players are contestants on a reality TV dating show, and some contestants are actually there to find love, while others are just trying to get famous. Your job is to figure out which players are which, and to couple up with the right player at the end of the game.
Taboo Uncensored
This adults-only version of Taboo is bound to get the girls laughing. Your goal is to get your team to guess a word without using any of the “forbidden” words as clues. For example, you might need to get your team to guess the word “eggplant” without being able to say the words “purple,” “emoji,” or “vegetable.” As the name suggests, this version of Taboo contains some wild content, so get ready to crack up!
Walk of Shame
Walk of Shame is like a combination of a drinking game and board game. Walk of Shame involves rolling the dice and moving your game piece around the board. Depending on what space you land on, you’ll either need to complete an action on your own, or the whole group will need to participate. Spaces say things like “Drink if you’ve had a one night stand,” “Least punctual player drinks,” or “If you’ve ever slid into a DM, finish your drink,” for example. It's a super fun way to break the ice, learn more about each other, and get the good vibes flowing!
Enchanted Pop Star Card Game
Are you and the girls major Swifties? If so, you’d probably love Pop Star Card Game. It’s basically a big deck of Taylor Swift trivia cards, including questions like “Which song includes the lyrics about being happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time?” and “What is the name of her cat that she frequently features on social media?” If you want to go all-out and have a Taylor-themed girls’ night, you can even have your friends dress up as their favorite Taylor Swift era, or have them make cocktails or mocktails inspired by their favorite Taylor Swift song.
Lyrically Correct
Do you consider yourself to be a music expert? If so, put those skills to the test with Lyrically Correct! This music trivia game is sure to get all the guests at your girls’ night singing and laughing. There are also several versions of the game, so you can pick the one that speaks to you the most. There’s an 80’s mixtape version, 90’s and 2000’s Hip Hop and R&B version, 90’s and 2000’s Pop version, and even a 60’s and 70’s oldies version!
Song Quiz
Song Quiz is another great game for music lovers. If you have a device that’s equipped with Amazon’s virtual assistant Alexa, all you need to do is say “Alexa, open Song Quiz.” Alexa will then play snippets of popular songs from the decade of your choice (60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, or 2010’s), and your job is to correctly guess the song’s title and artist. If you or your guests are more into movies, there’s also Film Quiz, which is basically the same thing. Alexa will play a short audio clip from a movie, and you’ll need to guess the title!
Karaoke
Why stop at music trivia? If you and your friends are ready to have your pop-star moments, consider doing a little karaoke. There’s nothing more fun or freeing than belting out your favorite tunes with your besties, and a girls’ night is the perfect setting for this. You can go all out and get a karaoke machine, get a karaoke microphone to use with an app on your phone or TV, or just look up karaoke videos on Youtube.
Charades
Charades is a super fun way to get everyone laughing. This classic game involves splitting the group up into two teams and acting out words or phrases for your team to guess. You can either have your guests write down ideas on slips of paper and place them into a bowl, or if you’re worried about coming up with ideas on your own, you can purchase a charades game like Guesstures. The app Heads Up is another fun charades-like option. One player holds a phone up on their forehead, which will display a word or phrase. The other players then need to provide verbal clues or act out the word to get the first player to correctly guess the word.
Uno
Looking for an innocent, classic, easy-to-learn option? Uno could be the perfect choice for your ladies night! Most people have played this fun card game before, so it should be pretty easy for your guests to pick up on the rules. It’s also appropriate for all ages and doesn’t involve any drinking, so it’s a great option if you’re having a more low-key, alcohol-free gathering. There are also themed Uno decks, like this fun Barbie deck or this nostalgic Harry Potter Deck, if you want to shake things up.
Card Games
There are tons of fun games you can play with just a deck of cards. You can play classic card games like Spoons, Gin Rummy, or Poker, or drinking games like Kings, Ring of Fire, or Ride the Bus. If you’re not sure what you’ll want to do at your girls night but you want to be prepared for anything, a regular deck of cards is a great thing to have, since it’s so versatile!
Jenga (with a twist)
Jenga is even more entertaining with this girls’ night twist. Traditionally, Jenga involves pulling blocks out from a tower without knocking it all over, but to really spice things up, have your guests write Truth or Dare questions on each of the Jenga blocks. Then, when you’re playing, each person needs to answer the question or do the dare written on the block they’ve pulled out from the tower!
Movie Drinking Games
If you’re having a 21+ party, a movie drinking game is a great option. Pick a girls’ night classic like Mean Girls or The Notebook, and agree on a set of rules that dictate when to drink. For example, common Mean Girls drinking game rules include drinking whenever someone says Regina George’s full name, whenever Janice mispronounces Cady’s name, whenever Gretchen says “fetch,” and whenever the Burn Book is shown on screen. You don’t have to stick to classic chick flicks for this. You can pick Harry Potter, Scream, The Hangover—whatever fits the vibe you’re going for! If you’re looking for inspiration, check out this fun list of movie drinking games.
Themed Cocktails
This isn’t technically a game, but it’s a super fun girls’ night activity. If you’re a TikTok user, you’ve probably come across videos of this trend on your FYP. It's pretty simple: each of your guests makes a themed cocktail or mocktail for the group, then they walk into the room with their cocktails on a platter and serve their special drink up to the guests. You can even film each person's reveal and post your own TikTok, if you'd like! For example, in this TikTok video from user @kaattee.h, each guest makes a cocktail inspired by a movie, and in this video from user @charlotterose28, each guest makes a cocktail inspired by their job.
Bring-a-Board
This popular TikTok trend is a great opportunity to get creative. To participate, each guest brings their own themed charcuterie or snack board to the gathering. For example, in this video from user @grisbeeorte94, one guest brings a board of french fries from different fast food restaurants, another brings a chips and dips board, and another brings a sushi board. If you want to get even more creative, you can assign each of your guests a different theme for their board, like different holidays, seasons, movies, or colors.
“Hear Me Out” Cake
This is another fun and hilarious trend you’ve probably seen on TikTok. First, you’ll need to bake a cake or get a store-bought cake and find some wooden skewers (the kind used for kebabs work well). Next, your guests print and cut out pictures of the craziest and most out-there characters they have secret crushes on and tape them to the ends of the wooden skewers. From there, you each take turns sticking the skewers into the cake and revealing your picks! The point of the game isn’t to pick people or characters that everyone’s attracted to—it’s to make some wacky choices that will get your friends to laugh. For example, some choices that have shown up in popular TikToks include the dad from Inside Out, Nick Wilde from Zootopia, the fairy godmother from Shrek, Patchy the Pirate from Spongebob, and even the number 8. This video from TikTok user @taylornaustin is a great example of how to do the trend if you’re looking for some inspo!
