New Year's Eve games for the party (from dinner to midnight)
New Year's Eve is a long evening — from dinner to dessert and the fireworks. It's about looking back on the year and celebrating it together, and the best games keep the mood up all the way to midnight.
Here are the games that suit the party, all live on guests' own phones.
AI Award Show — the year's ceremony
There's no better time for an award show than New Year's. Crown the group's heroes, blunders and most-likely-tos — it's made for looking back on the year together.
Speech bingo
Make a party bingo with classics from the New Year's speech and mark them off as you watch. A fun tradition that gets the whole room involved.
Polls and guessing games
'Most Likely To' with resolutions — who'll keep theirs the longest? — is a sure laugh. Short rounds between courses keep the energy up.
Tips towards midnight
Start the party bingo early so it runs through the evening, and save the award show for just before midnight as the highlight. Everything runs on mobile via QR.
