Games for a milestone birthday (40, 50, 60 and 70)
A milestone birthday is one of the parties you plan furthest ahead — and the guests are often three generations who don't all know each other. A good game brings the table together and puts the spotlight on the birthday star.
Here are the games that suit a milestone birthday — 40, 50, 60 or 70 — all played live on guests' own phones.
A personal bingo about the birthday star
Story Bingo weaves the birthday star and guests into one funny story about this exact life — childhood memories, career, quirks — with the numbers hidden inside. The host reads it aloud, everyone plays bingo on mobile.
A quiz: how well do you know them?
A live quiz with questions about the birthday star reveals who knows them best — from the early years to today's habits. Perfect for a mixed crowd.
Guess 13 — the classic
The coupon of 13 questions about the birthday star is a safe winner, especially among older guests. Print it or play on mobile.
Tune it to the age
For 40-50 you can dial up the cheeky; for 70 childhood memories and family stories land best. Start the game after the meal, when the energy tends to dip.
