Mafia
Number of players: from 6 to 20
"Mafia" is one of the most popular games for the company, and its popularity is justified. The game develops communication skills, psychological analysis and the ability to bluff. The essence of the game is that the participants are divided into two groups - civilians and mafia. And who is who, only the host of the game knows.
At the beginning of the game, the host closes the eyes of all players and "night" falls in the city. The mafia wakes up and "kills" one of the civilians. During the day, all players discuss what happened and try to find the criminals, voting for those who, in their opinion, could be the mafia. The main task of the civilians is to figure out the mafia before it is too late, and the mafia, in turn, must remain unnoticed and destroy all the residents.
Why is Mafia so popular?
- The game does not require any props - only your ingenuity and observation.
- You can play with both large companies and small groups.
- This is great training in persuasion and bluffing.
Crocodile
Number of players: from 4
This game is familiar to many since childhood. One of the participants thinks of a word or phrase, which he must show without using words or sounds. The other players try to guess what this word is. "Crocodile" is a great game for liberation, as it requires flexibility and courage from the players. You can think of any things - from simple concepts like "table" to complex phrases and famous people.
Contact
Number of players: from 4
This game also requires nothing more than communication and the ability to find associations. One player thinks of a word and names its first letter. The others start asking questions that are somehow related to this word. It is important that the leader can answer them with "yes" or "no". If one of the players understands what word is meant, he must say "contact". After that, both players take turns naming their versions, and if their guess matches, the word is revealed.
Contact is excellent for developing the ability to quickly come up with associations and stimulates creative thinking.
True or False
Number of players: from 3
In this game, everyone takes turns telling two stories - one true and one fictitious. The task of the other players is to guess which of them is true and which is a lie. The game is great for companies where people do not know each other very well, as it allows them to open up and learn something new about their friends. A variation of the game is to give players the opportunity to ask additional questions to confuse or, on the contrary, reveal the truth.
Broken telephone
Number of players: from 6
"Broken Telephone" is a funny game of information transfer. One player whispers a phrase into the ear of his neighbor, who then passes it on to the next, and so on until the last participant. When the last player announces the phrase he heard, it often turns out that it has changed greatly during the transfer. The game causes a lot of laughter and is suitable for any company.
I never…
Number of players: from 4
This is a game of honesty. One of the players starts with the phrase “Never have I ever…” and adds something that he has never done. For example, “I have never flown on an airplane.” Those who have done so must raise their hand. The game helps to learn a lot about each other and is suitable for both old friends and those who have just started communicating.
All these games require is a desire to have fun and spend time with friends. Whether you want to play out a psychological drama in Mafia or just laugh at the ridiculous phrases in Broken Telephone, these games have something for everyone.
