25 Bachelorette Party Games Everyone Will Want to Play

The Newlywed Game

Though the Newlywed Game is often played at the engagement party or bridal shower, bringing it to the bachelorette party will make for an eventful evening. If you're the host of the pre-wedding party, before the festivities, email the bride's spouse-to-be a list of questions to answer (even better, get their responses on video to play for the group later). Then, at the celebration, have the bride guess what her partner answered for each one. If she gets the answer right, everyone but the bride will take a sip of their beverages. If the answer is wrong, only the bride will drink.

The Groom Quiz

Another way to quiz the bride on her future spouse is having her take “The Groom Quiz.” You can download a free template online, or you can devise your own. Either way, have the bride answer questions about her significant other, such as “Who was their first kiss?” or “When was the moment they first fell in love with you?” Everyone will love watching the VIP guest come up with answers. Before testing the woman of honor, make sure you send the questions to her significant other to fill out beforehand.

A Scavenger Hunt

Whether you're spending a night on the town or you're sightseeing in a new city, a scavenger hunt is the perfect bachelorette party game to incorporate into your agenda. While you can always download a premade template, another option is creating your own that's geared toward the bride's interests or relationship.

If you're thinking about taking on the DIY project, the nature of the game is up to you: Choose whether the group will work together or against each other on competing teams, and figure out what challenges everyone will complete, such as finding a list of items or crossing off certain tasks.

Drink If

Similar to the concept of "Never Have I Ever," the "Drink If" bachelorette party game entails drinking if the statement applies to you. To play, the group will pass around a list of "drink ifs," such as "If you've known the bride for more than 10 years." Each guest will read off one line, and if it's true for them, they'll take a sip of their drink before passing the card to the next person. Some examples of fun drink ifs include: "If you've gone to the couple's honeymoon destination" or "If you've hooked up with someone who has the same name as the bride's soon-to-be spouse."

A Panty Party

Looking for a way to shower the bride and get in a good laugh? Play the "Panty Party" game. In order to enact this activity, each guest will need to bring a pair of unwrapped panties that reflects their personality. At the bachelorette party, everyone will hang their chosen pair on a clothesline. Then, the bride will guess which guest gave them which garment. Not only will the group enjoy watching the bride making her speculations, but the woman of the hour will also have a new undergarments to add to her collection.

A Ring Hunt

If you're on the hunt for something that's comparable to a scavenger hunt but more laid-back and low-maintenance, consider a ring hunt for your bachelorette party game. Before introducing the activity, hide a large number of plastic rings around your home base for the weekend. Then, have your guests try to find as many as possible. Whoever accumulates the most, wins. To up the ante, attach a note with a mini dare to each bauble.

Adult Pictionary

Pictionary is a big hit with most crowds; it's fun to play and easy to execute. The objective of the game entails splitting the group into teams and having one person draw a word or phrase, while the others try to guess what it is. While you can always stick with the original version, stacking the deck with X-rated phrases and acts will bring hilarity to the event.

Lingerie Shower Bingo

Bingo with a lingerie shower theme is the ideal bachelorette party game for those who want to shower the future newlywed with gifts that aren't appropriate for bridal showers and who are eager to participate in the gift-opening activity. To play, hand out lingerie bingo cards before the bride-to-be opens gifts. As the woman of the hour unwraps her presents, each participant will mark off a square if it's congruent with the item she receives. Whoever can complete a row first will win the game.

Bachelorette Roulette

For a lighthearted spin on "Russian Roulette," play "Bachelorette Roulette." While this game is mainly one of chance, adding a drinking element will make it more engaging and on par with the event. The instructions are very straightforward: Each attendee will take turns flicking the spinner, and whoever the arrow points to will take a sip of their drink.

Shot Roulette

Instead of taking a measly sip of your drink, get the party started by adding shots of liquor to the mix. For “Shot Roulette,” like the aforementioned instructions, place a spinner in the middle of the circle, and take turns spinning it. Whoever it lands on will have to take a shot of a cap of liquor. To introduce an element of mystery, choose different flavors of the alcoholic beverage and pour them in opaque shot glasses.

How Well Do You Know the Bride?

Test the guests' knowledge of the future bride with the "How Well Do You Know the Bride?" game. With this competitive task, the group will answer questions about the guest of honor, vying for the winning title as the one who knows her best. Compile a list of questions about the weekend's VIP or print a premade one. Whoever answers most of them correctly will win.

Bachelorette Jeopardy

Similar to the “How Well Do You Know the Bride?” game, playing Jeopardy will put everyone’s knowledge of the VIP guest to the test. Brainstorm categories about the bride, such as her upbringing, favorite hobbies, and past relationships. Then, devise questions based on those categories. At the bachelorette party, divide the group into teams and have them come up with the answers.

Pin the Kiss on the Spouse-to-Be

An elevated take on the childhood favorite "Pin the Tail on the Donkey," "Pin the Kiss on the Spouse-to-Be" replaces tails and donkeys with lips and the bride's significant other. Each guest will receive a cutout of a kiss (or they'll put on a coat of lipstick) that they'll need to pin on a photo of the bride's future spouse. For blindfolds, use personalized satin eye masks that guests can take home as favors.

Prosecco Pong

Beer pong is a staple drinking game, but for a glamorous take on it (that doesn't remind you of dark basements or fraternity parties), try Prosecco pong. All you have to do is replace red Solo cups and beer with chic coupes and sparkling wine. Divide the group into several teams that will compete against one another in a tournament to see which twosome gets the most ping-pong balls into their opponents' glasses. When taking your shot, just remember that these glasses are more shallow than the usual cups.

What's in Your Cell Phone

Combine a digital scavenger hunt with bingo, and you've got a game of "What's in Your Cell Phone?" Create a list of items, such as "the wedding date in your calendar" or "a selfie in your camera roll," that participants likely have on their phone. Guests will receive points for finding the designated items—fewer points for common objects and more points for obscure ones.

Karaoke Showdown

Whether you book a room at a karaoke bar or improvise back at the hotel, belting out hit tunes will enliven the group and create feel-good memories. When selecting the songs to sing, you can never go wrong with the bride’s favorite ballads. Or, if the bachelorette party has a theme, such as a disco-themed event, include tracks that fit the bill.

Bachelorette Charades

Get everyone excited for the bride’s big day by playing charades with a romantic spin: Each category in this bachelorette party game will focus on love or a wedding-related detail. After organizing teams, the group will choose a category and a relevant item to act out, whether it’s an iconic scene form a romance movie or a popular wedding tradition.

Wedding Vow Mad Libs

Completing custom Mad Libs is a wholesome bachelorette party game that will lead to fits of giggles. For a wedding-approved spin, print traditional wedding vows and remove some of the words, replacing them with blank spaces. Without giving guests any context, go around the room and ask each participant to come up with a noun, verb, or adjective, according to the blank space. At the end, read back the “vows,” and laughter will ensure.

Dirty Minds

Playing "Dirty Minds" will determine which individual has the dirtiest mind in the group. Gather a list of deceptively naughty descriptions and have the crowd guess the answers. While the answers are always appropriate and respectable, guests will come up with out-of-the-box responses that will get the whole group laughing.

Bachelorette Jenga

Take the timeless game of Jenga, filled with strategy and skill, and add challenges and dares for an interesting bachelorette party game. As each attendee takes turns pulling a wooden block from the tower, they'll have to complete a task, such as doing their best impression of the bride or calling one of her exes.

Higher or Lower

For a bachelorette party game that requires minimal preparation and gets everyone in a celebratory mood, consider “Higher or Lower.” This card game is fun as is, but adding a twist will make it extra memorable. For a bachelorette-approved version, have everyone choose a partner, pick a card from the deck, and stick it to their forehead. Then, each person will guess whether their opponent’s card is placed higher or lower than theirs. If the answer is correct, they’ll move to the next round. If not, they’ll have to take a shot.

Truth or Dare

A nostalgic game that conjures up images of sleepovers in elementary school, “Truth or Dare” also makes for an entertaining bachelorette party game. To keep this beloved activity organized, purchase scratch-off cards, where you can write custom truths and dares based on the bride and her relationship. Some examples are “I dare you to dance on the bar” or “Tell me the truth about your first impression of your future spouse.”

Two Truths and a Lie

With zero supplies and instructions needed, “Two Truths and a Lie” is easy to play, no matter the destination or time of day. For a bachelorette party edition of this beloved game, have everyone come up with two true statements about their love lives and one lie. You’ll learn a lot about the group in a lighthearted, informal way.

Thunderstruck

If you’re searching for a bachelorette party drinking game that doesn’t involve a comprehensive set of instructions to decipher and deliver, play the “Thunderstruck” drinking game. To begin, have everyone sit in a circle and put on the AC/DC song. Starting with the bride, each person will take a sip of their drink every time the band sings “thunder,” and they'll continue drinking until they hear the word again.

PowerPoint Presentations

A unique bachelorette party game idea is having each attendee create a PowerPoint presentation on a certain topic and deliver it one night during the pre-wedding event. While any subject will work, choosing ones that are more personal to the group, such as “What the Bride’s Scandal Would Be If They’re Famous” or “Who’s Going to Get the Most Drunk at the Wedding," will make the activity especially funny.
