New Year’s Eve Party Games

Hot Camera

It’s no secret that we’re living in a digital age. A game of “hot camera” is the perfect alternative to the “hot potato” you probably played as a kid. All you need to play the game is a digital camera, equipped with both a self-timer and a flash.

Ask everyone to sit or stand in a circle. Set the camera timer to whatever time you choose and hand it to a random guest. That person needs to hold the camera at arm’s length, take a picture of him or herself and pass the camera on to the next person.

When the timer goes off, the person who’s holding the camera loses and must participate in some kind of funny punishment like telling a joke or wearing a silly hat.

Guess the Fib

Guess the Fib is a super easy game that’s easy to play. In fact, no supplies are necessary. It works like this. Each guest relates three things about his or her life to the group. Two true statements and one lie. It’s probably obvious by the name of the game that the object is to separate the true statements from the fibs.

Minute to Win It Game

There are scads of variations to the popular Minute to Win It game. In a nutshell, you come up with a challenge or challenges for each guest to participate in. Whatever it is, they only have a minute to achieve it. It can be anything from stacking big (red) drink cups into a pyramid to moving small candies (the smaller the better ), with tweezers while blindfolded, from bowl A to bowl B to almost anything in between.
