What Are The Most Fun Galentine's Day Party Games?

Ever hosted a Galentine’s Day party and thought, "how do I stop this from becoming another boring brunch?"

Look, we’ve all done the mimosa thing to death, and truthfully, avocado toast has had its day. This year, let’s do something different—something wild, hilarious, and a bit chaotic. Galentine’s Day is supposed to be about laughs, bonding, and maybe just a sprinkle of harmless revenge plotting against exes. You need games—real, fun, adult party games. Lucky for you, I've mastered the art of hosting parties that don't suck.

Galentine’s game ideas that’ll actually keep everyone awake

Now, I know some of you might groan at the idea of organised games, but trust me, these aren't your grandma’s bingo nights. Unless, of course, your grandma’s bingo involves shots and profanity—which, if it does, please invite me next time.

One game that always spices things up at my own Galentine gatherings is f**k the game. Imagine a room full of your best girlfriends flipping cards and frantically shouting swear words. Chaos? Definitely. Hilarious? Absolutely. It's basically the adult version of Uno, if Uno was designed to ruin friendships and create lifelong memories.

If you're feeling extra adventurous, you can even toss in the diy deck expansion pack to customise your cards with inside jokes or embarrassing memories. Nothing screams friendship like reminding everyone about "that night we never speak of."

Forget traditional trivia—personalise your games

Instead of boring trivia questions about movies and geography, why not create a custom trivia game using your friends' own life stories? I recently hosted a Galentine’s Day event where we turned everyone’s romantic histories into a Kahoot quiz. You’d be amazed at how funny it is to guess "who dated that guy with the unfortunate mullet in 2014?"

Plus, there’s something oddly satisfying about laughing at our questionable life choices together. Here's another article packed full of personalised Galentine’s trivia ideas if you need inspiration.

The Galentine ex-files—a comedic twist

Another epic game is the infamous "Exes and Ohs." All guests anonymously bring a photo of an ex (or a cringe-worthy Tinder profile screenshot works beautifully). Pin them on a wall, and everyone guesses whose disaster date is whose. Prepare for absolute hysterics and some unexpected revelations. Trust me, it’s even funnier after a cocktail or two.

Swearing therapy—seriously, it’s science

Did you know swearing can actually help you bond and reduce stress? Don’t just take my potty mouth’s word for it— there's actual research behind this. So, not only is playing a swear-filled game hilarious, but it’s practically therapy. And who doesn't need a bit of therapeutic swearing in their lives?

Blurgh—because chaos deserves company

Now, if you really want to crank the madness up to eleven, you’ve got to try blurgh. Imagine twenty adults shouting random colours and words, competing in rapid-fire rounds, and generally making fools of themselves. It's perfect for larger groups, or those times when you realise you invited way too many people, and you’re now stuck entertaining your cousin’s weird friend.

Video chats for remote gals

Not everyone can get together physically. No worries—Galentine’s Day doesn’t discriminate against long-distance friendships. I’ve successfully played tons of these games over video chat. Need tips on that? Check out this super handy guide for hosting virtual game nights that won’t make everyone secretly scroll Instagram out of boredom.

Let’s wrap it up—but keep the wrapping fun

Galentine’s Day is your chance to be silly, loud, and absolutely unapologetic with your closest mates. Yes, brunch is cool, but swapping stories about exes, laughing hysterically at terrible decisions, and yelling obscenities at each other across a coffee table? That's what real friendship looks like.

So, ditch the polite chit-chat this year. Go all out, grab yourself something from my favourite adult-friendly games collection, and make some memories you'll probably regret just a little bit tomorrow. Check out what inspired these crazy games, or if you're unsure what suits your group best, hit me up directly—I live for sorting party dilemmas.

Here's to a Galentine’s Day worth posting about—even if you delete it the next morning.
