I always feel like the best part of Friendsgiving starts after dinner. When the table’s covered in empty glasses and half-finished desserts, that’s when everyone starts to relax and laugh for real.
If you’re anything like me, you want the night to feel easy and full of good energy. A few Friendsgiving games can make that happen. Simple, fun party games for adults have a way of turning quiet moments into memories that stick — the kind you’ll still talk about next year.
So if you’re hosting or just the one who loves keeping things lively, here are some fun Friendsgiving ideas that always hit the mark.
Team Competition Games
First up are the team games — the ones that instantly turn a chill dinner into loud chaos. I like this because everyone suddenly gets way too serious about games that don’t even have prizes. Once teams are set, it’s over.

Party Challenges (Indoors)
Next are the small challenges you can play right around the table. Cup Stack, Head Shoulders Knees & Cup, and that spatula paper scoop game all look stupid until you’re in it.

Obstacle & Movement Games
Then come the big movement games, and this is when things start getting wild. Blindfolds, balloons, and absolute chaos — you already know it’s about to go downhill in the funniest way. I think these work best after a few drinks.

Funny / Creative Challenges
After all that running around, I like switching to something creative. These games make no sense but end up being everyone’s favorite part.

Card & Table Games
When everyone’s finally ready to sit back down, it’s time for the table games. These friendsgiving games slow the pace but keep the laughter going. It’s that perfect mix of chill and ridiculous that just fits after dinner.

Drinking Games
They always start with “just one round,” and somehow it never ends there. I like ending the night with these — they’re unpredictable, a little messy, and everyone’s just being themselves.

So that’s pretty much the lineup of Friendsgiving games that make the night feel a little louder, a little funnier, and a lot more memorable.
Which one sounds the most fun to you?
