You need probably at least 6 players for this game, but this really is a case of the more the merrier. Nominate one player to be the “detective”, and send him/her out of the room. When the “detective” has gone, choose one of the remaining players to be the “murderer”. The murderer and all the […]

Another mad game that’s fairly pointless, but lots of fun and breaks the ice. There are no real winners and losers – it just runs on until everyone’s had enough! You need a large-ish hall for us, and probably at least 8 players. Put out two less chairs than there are players, scattering them around […]

Very simple and fun game. You need a couple of balloons, and one chair per player. Split the players into two teams, and set up two rows of chairs – facing one another – so that chairs are about 1m apart. Get the players to sit in the chairs so that the two teams are […]

Really simple, and lots of fun. The aim of the game is to make the other people smile! The group sit in a circle, one person is “it”. The “it” person goes around the group in turn, saying: Honey, if you love me, just give me a smile. To which his target responds: Honey, you […]

You need between 9 and 16 players, and ideally a multiple of 4. The idea of the game is to get all your team next to each other in the circle. Setup First if all, write the numbers 1,2,3,.. etc on pieces of paper, so that you have one piece for each player. So, if […]

Nominate a “splat-er”. All the other players stand in a circle around the “splat-er”. The “splat-er” stands in the middle with his/her fingers pointed upwards like a gun. He/she then slowly turns around on the spot, until he/she suddenly points their fingers towards one of the players, as if he/she was shooting them, and says […]

This game is completely random. You need at least 8 players, really. Setup Count the number of players, and work out how many groups are need so that there are 3-5 players in each group. Choose a fruit for each group: e.g. with 10 players, you might have 3 groups; “bananas”, “apples”, and “grapes” (or […]

Very simple game. You need at least 4 players (but more is better), and a large open space (indoor or out). Every player stands up. Every player secretly and randomly chooses 2 other players from the group. On “Go”, each player has to try and form an equilateral triangle with the two people they have […]

I was very brave last night – I flashed my router with a firmware I’d hexedited! I’ve got a Buffalo WYR-G54, which was very cheap, but has essentially does the job of connecting me to the Internet with wireless to boot. One of it’s big plusses is that it routes the external IP from inside, […]

I have a convert! Ali has come around to my way of thinking about twitter!:) curates-egg.blogspot.com/2009/05/unavoidable-blockage. Just as long as I haven’t made him twice a son of hell as I am!! … and I really should get around to implementing comments on here. If it wasn’t for spammers and hackers it’d be up and […]
