Quick party games for 5 spare minutes
Sometimes you only have a few minutes: waiting for food, a break in a meeting, or the end of a lesson. These games start in seconds and can finish in five minutes, with no setup beyond choosing them on one phone.
Set the game to end after a couple of rounds, or tap End at any time to see the scores. Your players are saved, so the next quick game starts even faster.
The 5 best games
1. Pass the Bomb (3+ players)
A round lasts as long as the hidden fuse, usually under a minute. Instant energy.
- Read the category out loud, then tap Light the fuse.
- Say one answer that fits, tap Pass, and hand the phone to the next player.
- No repeats. If the group says an answer doesn’t count, try again before passing.
- When the bomb explodes, whoever is holding it loses. Everyone else scores 1.
2. Most Likely To (3+ players)
Read, count to three, point. A full game can take just a few minutes.
- 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. True or False (2+ players)
One statement, one vote, one reveal. Play five cards and you have a winner.
- Read the statement out loud.
- Everyone shows thumbs up for True or thumbs down for False, all at once.
- Tap Reveal answer.
- Tap every player who got it right. They each score 1.
4. 20 Questions (2+ players)
One secret, twenty questions at most. Done before the food arrives.
- The answerer taps Peek, memorises the secret, then taps Hide it.
- Everyone else takes turns asking yes-or-no questions. Tap + after each one to count them, up to 20.
- The answerer can only say yes or no. Tap Reveal when someone guesses, or after question 20.
- Tap whoever guessed it for 1 point. If nobody did, tap the answerer instead.
5. Would You Rather (2+ players)
Quick choices with no preparation. Stop whenever the debate is over.
- Read both options out loud.
- Count to three. Everyone points left for the first option or right for the second.
- Tap every player on the bigger side. They each score 1. A tie means nobody scores.
- Tap Next turn for a new question.
Tips
