Jen08 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 What are some of your favorite party games for work? I need to come up with 1 game for my office to play. In the past we've played bingo, dirty santa, and guess the candy bar name game. I need some ideas people! Please help ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia39 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I've done "name that holiday tune" - I clipped the songs using iTunes, whipped up a quick powerpoint to present the game and people had to work together at their tables to write down the name and artist. I've also done "holiday movie trivia" and I picked some super obscure questions to make it difficult. We've also played "musical gifts" - pick a "gift" from the centerpiece, and move it around the table. When the music stops, if you're holding it, you're out. Keep going until there's two people left and whoever is the last one holding it wins. You could also do this with gift wrapped items - play the music, person unwraps one layer, and whoever gets the final layer to unwrap wins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusluvu Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I cant remember the name of it but everyone brings and inexpensive gift and hem pull numbers. One by one people select a gift or can steal a gift that is already been open for themselves. I want to say it was Japanese Christmas exchange or something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much a white elephant gift exchange. Also how many people are at your holiday party? The games I've had to come up with are for about 70 people. It's different when it's just my small team of 8, where we usually do a white elephant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 We've done holiday trivia, using an app on our phones to "click in" with the answers. Have everyone send in a picture of a Christmas decoration at their house, and have people guess whose it is. We've also done white elephant many times. But honestly, I despise that game and never participate. We also did something with wrapping paper once... But I can't remember that that was. I'll have to keep thinking about that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
