Party Games for New Year’s Eve

If you ask us, New Year’s Eve is all about bestie vibes and getting a few drinks down you! So if you’re looking for an eventful night full of hilarious memories that you definitely won’t remember in the morning, we’ve got plenty of New Year’s Eve drinking games for you! Whether you’re hosting a house party or looking for some party games for pre-drinks, these drinking games offer up something a little different to your standard ‘ring of fire.’

Party Animals

Hear us out, this might sound a little bit boring at first but this game becomes much more of a scream after a drink or two. Now, just like every good drinking game, this game begins with everyone sitting around a table of shots.

Someone starts the game off by naming an animal – ‘Elephant’ for example. The person to their left then has to name an animal starting with the last letter of the previous person, for example, ‘Tiger,’ then ‘Rhino,’ then ‘Ostrich.’ Get it? 

Here’s where the alcohol comes in:  If they take any longer than 5 seconds – can’t think of one at all – or stutter, if you’re feeling extra picky – they must take a shot. Trust us, your knowledge of animals and your ability to spell will go completely out of the window during this game!

 

Shot Roulette

One of our personal favourite party games for New Year’s Eve is Shot Roulette. Shot roulette is a game of luck, but, really, everyone ends up losing. Get around 20 shot glasses and arrange them in a circle, filling each one with a different kind of alcohol and leaving some empty (we’d recommend having about 5 empty glasses).

Take an empty bottle and place it in the centre of the circle of shots. Each player will then take a turn spinning the bottle and they must drink whichever shot it lands on…unless it lands on an empty glass, in which case the next person must go.

However, if you fancy stirring the pot and adding even more spice than a shot of tequila could offer, then fill the empty glasses with truth or dares – it certainly makes the game a lot more juicy. Now let’s just see if these friendships make it to the New Year when the drunken home truths are brought to the table!

Poker Face

We’ve all got that one friend who’s got an excellent poker face. So, this New Year’s Eve put their skills to the test with this drinking game.

The rules of the game are pretty simple – everyone writes something funny down on a piece of paper, such as a joke, phrase or in-joke, before placing it in a bowl in the centre of the table. Each player then takes it in turn to pick a piece of paper and read out whatever is on it. Anyone who laughs or smiles must take a shot.

We know it sounds simple and silly, but believe us, after a few rounds of drinks it very quickly becomes one of the best New Year’s Eve drinking games!

Most Likely

If you’re doing a round of New Year’s Eve drinking games, you can’t not play Most Likely! Most Likely works best when played with a big group of besties who know everything about each other. And we mean everything – the good, the bad and the ugly! The highest highs and the most embarrassing lows (mostly the embarrassing lows, hehe.)

Everyone sits in a circle and each player takes it in turns to ask a ‘most likely’ question, such as ‘Who would be most likely to fall over in heels’. On the count of three, each player must then point to the person they think is most likely to do whatever was mentioned. Each player must then take a shot for every person who pointed at them. Gutted.

Friends and Enemies

Tread carefully with this game – it’s been known to tear apart even the best of friends.

Deal out a pack of cards between the players, making sure each player keeps their hand a secret. Whoever goes first places a card in the centre of the table, calling out another player’s name as they do so. Whoever’s name has been called must drink for as many seconds as the number on the card, for example, the two of hearts would equal two seconds. If you get a King, then good luck!

However, this is where the friendship testing comes in. If someone else (aside from the person who has been told to drink) has a card with the same number, they can choose to save the chosen person and choose another person to drink. But this time, the number on the card doubles. Eek.

Don’t worry, though, even if you have a card to save someone, you don’t have to play it! It’s called Friends and Enemies for a reason, gal.
