Adult Party Games & Activities

Planned ideas make a party with adult party games & activities fun. One idea is a "Murder Mystery party". It will take some well organized planning but it is well worth it and your guests will remember the event for years. Murder Mystery parties are unique and they get everyone involved. The first thing to do is decide how many guests you will invite. Tell them in the invite what kind of party you are planning and give them a RSVP date.

Once you have the responses, begin deciding what kind of mystery you want to try. Each mystery must have a back story that explains who the victim is and explains you something about each of the characters in the story. Each guest must be given a different character ahead of time. Starting about two weeks before the party, begin sending the guests emails or notes with party notes. Include information for the guests like who their character is, who the victim is, what the relationship between the victim and their character is and any other important information or pre-games clues. This will get them interested and excited about the party. Describe the characters and ask the guests to come in costume like their assigned character.

The day of the party make sure you place any clues in their proper places for the party goers to find. Be ready to get the conversation going and move it along by asking the guests questions over dinner or cocktails which will give all the information they need to guess who the murderer might be. Be sure to have nice party favors for everyone and a special reward for the guest who is the first to discover the murderer. One nice touch would be to set up a video camera can record the party game then later make copies and send each guest a DVD of the party as a memento along with some photos.

Although there are lots of adult party games & activities to choose from, charades is a game with a concept most adults are familiar with even if they haven't played it. Before the party gather some supplies: paper, pens or pencils and plenty of ideas. Pick the titles of well known, movies, TV shows, books and actions or phrases. Write them down. Divide the guests into teams and start by letting the first player pick a slip of paper with a title on it out of a box or bowl. The person who picks the title must act it out without talking, while their team tries to guess what they are acting out. Have plenty of snacks and party favors ready for everyone and have a great time.
