Games for a dinner with friends and a cosy night in
The cosiest entertainment doesn't need a big occasion. An ordinary dinner with friends, a date night or an evening on the sofa just gets better with a game that makes everyone laugh together.
Here are the best games for an ordinary night — several of them free, all played on mobile.
The Hat — free charades
The Hat is the classic guessing game: everyone writes famous names, animals, films and songs into a shared hat, and teams take turns imitating and guessing. It's free and gets the laughs going instantly.
A quiz about someone in the group
Make a quick quiz about one of your friends — it's always a conversation starter and surfaces the best stories. Write the questions and let the others compete on mobile.
Guess 13 and guessing games
A coupon or a guessing game like 'Two Truths and a Lie' works perfectly for a smaller group where you want to get to know each other a little better.
Keep it light
A cosy night shouldn't feel like a tournament. Keep rounds short so you can carry on chatting between games, and start with the free one.
