Party Games will break the ice for anyone

My girlfriend and I have a ton; here’s some favorites (they all play pretty much like Apples to Apples)

  • Cards Against (obviously)
  • Joking Hazard
  • Ransom Notes
  • Things!
  • Dungeon Mayhem (D&D inspired, best For small, dorky groups)
  • Trivial Pursuit

We’ve also got an Xbox and switch so we spend lots of time playing Jackbox, Mario Kart, Mario Party (clearly I’m not alone there)

I think what works well is activities. I've never been one to go to the bars just to talk. But I like going to concerts and events and meeting people there.

Same with hosting. If you're like "let's get together." For some groups, that's the best. For others that's a lot of sitting around and not having much to say.

So if you want to host people at your place, make a point to do something interesting that will get you all excited. Board game night. Mario Kart soiree. Pot luck. Movie night. Sports games. Barbecues. Swingers party. Grave tipping. Puppy play dates. Wine tasting. Jack Box Party Pack games. Form a band. Watch Nathan For You. Build some stuff. Arts and crafts.

Those ones are pretty commonly the reasons to have people over. But you just have to make the plan ahead of time. And then afterwards you have tons of stuff to talk about.

Lot of helpful comments. I do this one thing to make everyone feel at home

Add a separate Wifi connection to your router (settings), and write down the name and password on a piece of paper. Stick that where it's easily accessible. Instantly make guests feel at home, esp the introverts
