\nA great party needs good food, appropriate beverages, and the perfect video game. Unfortunately, finding the best game for a party isn\u2019t exactly easy. Mixed groups of young children, teens, and grown-ups make finding something appropriate in a sea of titles a challenge. I\u2019m here to help you find a game or two for your library that you can pull out to get the party started every weekend, and keep it family friendly.
It\u2019s easy to party with a bunch of adults \u2013 just add booze. Partying with children, and making sure everyone has a good time, requires a different approach. Teenagers throw the mix entirely out of whack, they\u2019re as likely to get pissed off that you\u2019re \u201cmaking them\u201d play a video game as they are to appreciate you\u2019re doing something they usually enjoy.
Luckily we live in a wonderful age of gaming where there are literally thousands of titles to choose from. The best way to determine which ones will work for your party is to decide how many players you\u2019ll have.
If you only have 2 players
Couch co-op (two or more players in the same room on the same console) is one of the most rewarding ways to play. Here are three games that work perfectly for two players who are geared up for a hardcore gaming session:
If you have three to six players
Your options begin to change and you\u2019re able to legally call your gathering a party once you\u2019ve reached three people. It\u2019s time to break out the party games because either you\u2019re going to spend 15 minutes setting up the playing area and figuring out how to sign everyone in (Rock Band, I\u2019m looking at you), or you just need everyone to be able to play without any fuss:
Bonus mention: \u201c Heads Up \u201d on mobile is an option for those who don\u2019t want to use the big screen. I\u2019m not responsible for what happens if you play it \u2013 it\u2019s the \u201cwho am I?\u201d party game featured on the \u201cEllen!\u201d show, and it\u2019s a lot of fun no matter who you\u2019re playing it with.
Once you\u2019ve decided on the game the rest is up to you, but you\u2019ll know it was a success if your game choice forces everyone to interact with each other more than the screen.
