What are you views on party games?
I'm planning my next Halloween party and I wanted to include some party games to make it slightly different from a regular house party. But I'm also very aware of how much enforced fun sucks donkey cock.

What party games have you played in your adult life? Were they full of b3tan-like whimsy or did they make you want to pull your own eyeballs out. I fully expect Monty to veto this entire question.

Drinking games don't count, I'm never playing that stupid Fuzzy Duck again.

Last halloween
we had a house party, played murder in the dark and I swear to God it should have been called attempted sexual assault in the dark. Within minutes we almost had a punch up and the party was all over the place. One of my housemates guests decided to grope one of our neighbours when the lights were out. Her husband took exception to this and they had to be wrestled down stairs and out into the garden.

Edit - I am a student, not a homosexual.

I know how to have 'fun' just as much as anyone else
When me and my friends get together we invariably end up laughing like drains for the whole of the night. The main thing is, it isn't organised, or pre-ordained in an attempt to have 'fun'. People who have to sit and think about to inject fun into their get togethers are tedious cunts who don't know how to do it naturally.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 15:04, Reply)
It's not injecting fun, nor is it forced or that organised
it's just doing something a bit different than sitting around chatting like you do every other weekend.

Sometimes it's fun to have a bit of imagination. It's not like I'm going to be dressed up like a girl guide and make everyone wear name tags.

I like how putting 'fun' in inverted commas makes it sound like it's such an alien concept to you.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 15:31, Reply)
I can see where you are coming from
However, if someone has sat and thought about it, then it is organised and that can annoy me, only when the protagonists get huffy when you don't want to join in on the fun.

Much like fucking Halloween. When I was a kid, it was KIDS who got dressed up and went out begging for sweets, monkey nuts and possibly money. These days the town is filled with HILARIOUS adults dressed up. The woman invariably dressed as sluts, and the men dressed up as cunts.

So when I voice my opinion that I don't really mind folk doing this, but it isn't my thing, I get lambasted for being a spoilsport and not wanting to join in, God forgive me, the fun.

Fun, for me, is people doing what makes them happy, not what other idiots THINK they should be doing. This goes for MASSIVE DRUGS as well.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 15:38, Reply)
I understand, I hate when people try and force me into drinking games
this is why I want a specific mix of games that you don't have to play if you don't want to, I definitely won't be forcing anyone, and I want games where people can dip in and out. I don't want to have to regiment the evening, I'll be leaving it up to people if they want to play.

Because it's Halloween I do ask that people dress up, but this will be the 5th annual Kitty's Halloween Party and every year the rule is "no slutty bunnies or otherwise" and my friends do always make an effort to be a bit original. Last year one of my friends made a full on Optimus Prime suit out of cardboard, it was brilliant.

This is also why I asked b3tans what they thought because I wanted things that even the most miserable of people would maybe concede to join in with.

there's a video of us playing that in Newquay, it looks like a normal night with everyone sitting, chatting, until suddenly he sings Roxeanne and all the girls jumped up and downed their drinks.

We also played a game where you have to cover your teeth with your lips to talk and anyone who fails has to drink. A couple we were with had an argument, but never once did they stop playing, it was ridiculous. She was trying to shout at him but the words were unintelligible, it was hilarious.

Enforced fun is a terrific way to make the whole evening tremendously awkward.
A couple of years ago I had two options for Hallowe'en:
1. Go to one of those murder mystery parties or
2. Go to a regular house party.
Presented with the choice between a whole evening of meticulously organised enforced fun (and possibly enforced transvestism) and an evening of my normal house party routine of sitting in a corner drinking myself into a stupor, you can probably understand why I chose option 2.

I did a muder mystery for new years
I was not up for it really but it turned out to be brilliant. And I won so even better. If it's with your friends it is fine but can imagine it's a bit awkward when you go up to a stranger and ask them if they are Professor Peanut.

if I'd stopped being such a miserable fucker and gone to the murder mystery rather than the regular house party, then I'd probably have got into the spirit and enjoyed myself. In general I'm not a fan of organised fun, though, so the idea of having to go through something so elaborate set a lot of alarm bells ringing.

I don't mean an entire night themed with a single game
I mean having the option to play some of the games if you feel like it, or not bothering if you don't.

I don't mind if people don't want to, they don't have to, but I'm hoping people will be a bit warmer to the idea than this miserable lot.

I think you've got the right idea
Having them there as an option is probably not a bad idea, especially if people are standing around looking a bit bored. I just had visions of the opposite extreme, whereby it's very easy to kill the atmosphere of the entire place by declaring that everybody is now going to play the Pin the Donkey on the Twister, Queensbury Rules Variant.

Edit: May derive from bad experience with a game that involved picking up a cardboard box with one's mouth. As one of the taller and less flexible people in the room, I was continually goaded to try by people who drew a perverse level of amusement from my inability to bend without overbalancing into an undignified faceplant.

Well with this one you started with a cereal box

Drinking at your own pace is the correct answer.
Otherwise the options are as follows:

2: You're not a cunt, your friend(s) are passed out vomiting, your evening is ruined as you're busy looking after them.
