Party games for large groups
With 10 or more people, most games fall apart: turns take too long and half the room stops paying attention. These picks keep everyone involved at the same time, either by playing all at once or by splitting into teams.
Every game here supports up to 30 players on one phone. Add the group once and the phone handles turns, timers and scores.
The 5 best games
1. Imposter (3+ players)
Everyone plays every round. With 7 or more players, add a second imposter to keep it tense.
- Pass the phone round. Each player taps their card to see the secret word, then hides it.
- One player sees “Imposter” instead (plus a one-word hint, if hints are on). They must bluff.
- Go round the circle. Everyone says one word linked to the secret word, then discuss and vote.
- Catch the imposter and everyone else scores 1. If they escape or guess the word, they score 2.
2. Most Likely To (3+ players)
Everyone points at once, so a round takes seconds whether you have 5 people or 25.
- Read the “Most likely to…” prompt out loud.
- Count to three. Everyone points at the player they think fits best, all at once.
- Tap the player with the most fingers pointing at them. A tie means all tied players score.
- Tap Next turn for a new prompt.
3. Fishbowl (4+ players)
Built for teams. Two sides compete over three rounds with the same shared bowl of words.
- The clue-giver holds the phone so only they can see it, then taps Start.
- Round 1: describe it, but don’t say the word. Round 2: one word only. Round 3: act it out, silently.
- Tap Got it for every correct guess, or Skip to move on.
- The clue-giver scores 1 per guess. The same words come back each round, so remember them.
4. Whisper Chain (4+ players)
The more people in the circle, the further the phrase drifts. Long chains make the best reveals.
- The first player taps Peek, reads the phrase, then taps Hide it.
- They whisper it once into the next player’s ear. Keep passing it round the circle, with no repeats.
- The last player says what they heard out loud. Tap Reveal to see the original.
- Find where it went wrong. Everyone who passed it on correctly before that point scores 1.
5. Charades (2+ players)
Play in two teams so the whole room is either acting, guessing or heckling.
- The actor holds the phone so only they can see it, then taps Start.
- Act out the word on screen. No talking, no sounds, and no pointing at things in the room.
- When someone guesses it, tap Got it. Stuck? Tap Skip for a new word.
- When time runs out, the actor scores 1 point per word guessed. Pass the phone on.
Tips
- Use teams in Charades and Fishbowl once you have 4 or more players.
- Shorten timers to keep turns moving in big groups.
- Play on a TV browser so people at the back can see.
Questions
How many people can play?
Up to 30 players on one phone. Most games here work best with 6 to 20.
What’s the best game for 20 people?
Imposter with two imposters, or Most Likely To. Both keep everyone playing at once instead of waiting for a turn.
