Quick rules
Rules for 10 Classic Party Games
If the wheel lands on a game nobody remembers, here’s how to play it.
Charades
One player acts out a word or phrase with no talking, and their team has one minute to guess. Show the number of words with your fingers first.
Pictionary
Like charades, but you draw. No letters, numbers or talking. The team that guesses within a minute scores a point.
Truth or Dare
Each player answers a truth or does a dare. Use the truth or dare wheel for clean lists and fair rules.
Two Truths and a Lie
A player says three things about themselves. Two are true and one is made up. Everyone else votes on the lie.
Twenty Questions
One player thinks of a thing. The others ask up to 20 yes-or-no questions to work out what it is.
Categories
Spin the letter wheel. Everyone writes an animal, a food, a country and a name starting with that letter in one minute. Unique answers score a point.
Hot Potato
Pass a soft ball round the circle while music plays. Whoever holds it when the music stops spins for a forfeit.
Word Association
Say a word. The next player says the first word it makes them think of, without pausing. Hesitate for three seconds and you’re out.
Would You Rather
Ask a question with two choices, such as “Would you rather fly or be invisible?” Everyone picks a side and explains why. The would you rather wheel has 107 questions.
Telephone
Whisper a sentence to the next person, who whispers what they heard to the next. The last player says it out loud.
