What Games Work Best For An Alice In Wonderland Themed Party?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Alice fell down the rabbit hole into a party full of adults, booze, and hilarious chaos?
If you're throwing an Alice in Wonderland-themed party, then boring games just won't cut it. Trust me, no one wants to sip tea politely all afternoon like a bunch of Mad Hatters. We're talking something fun, a little crazy, and definitely unforgettable.
Cheshire Cat Pin-The-Grin Game
I recently discovered this one, and I couldn't stop laughing. Imagine "Pin the Tail on the Donkey," but a hundred times creepier. Instead, you've got guests blindfolded and attempting to pin the grin on the Cheshire Cat. Pro tip: the creepier the grin, the better. If you're feeling artsy, here's another article that'll help you set this one up perfectly.
Mad Hatter's Tea Relay Race
Running while balancing teacups filled with questionable beverages? Yes, please. Your guests will need to balance a cup and saucer, relay-racing across the lawn without spilling their mysterious concoction. A little chaos is what Wonderland is all about, right? Plus, this game lets you sneak in some adult beverages and nobody complains—win-win.
Finding an adult party game that actually entertains everyone can be tricky, but when you mix it up like this, your mates will talk about it forever.
Croquet, Queen of Hearts Style
No Alice party would be complete without the Queen of Hearts throwing a temper tantrum and yelling "Off with their heads!" at least once. So, grab your flamingo mallets and hedgehog balls (okay, normal croquet gear is fine too). Just make sure you encourage lots of trash-talking. Here's some extra inspiration if you're going all out.
Just don't forget to warn guests about your competitive streak!
White Rabbit's Treasure Hunt
This game is pure gold. I mean, who doesn't love running around hunting for clues—especially after a few drinks? Hide random items inspired by Wonderland, and send everyone off chasing clues with obscure references from the book. Bonus points if someone actually dresses up as the White Rabbit, pocket watch and all. Need inspiration? This guide might give you a great start.
"Drink Me" Trivia Shots
Remember the "Drink Me" potions Alice found? It's time to recreate them—but with booze and trivia questions. Every wrong answer earns a shot, and every correct answer earns... well, also a shot. Let's be fair here. Questions can range from Alice trivia to pop culture, or whatever absurd category you can dream up. By the end, your guests might actually think they're shrinking or growing.
The DIY Deck Expansion Game
If you're keen to get creative, why not customise your party game using the DIY deck expansion pack? Personalise cards with Wonderland-themed phrases, characters, or even some inside jokes. The funnier (and weirder), the better. It's a guaranteed hit—and possibly even a party tradition.
Blurgh—When Things Get Truly Mad
When the evening gets weirder and everyone’s feeling extra adventurous, crack out a round of Blurgh. It's a hilarious, slightly chaotic game that's perfect for groups. It's sort of like Wonderland itself—confusing, hilarious, and occasionally inappropriate. Perfect for any adult party.

A Wonderland Feast to End It All
It isn't Wonderland without a slightly bizarre tea party. I'm talking mismatched cups, brightly coloured treats, and cakes shaped like playing cards. Guests will appreciate the quirky details. You can get menu inspiration from this brilliant party plan. After all, you can't have a Wonderland party without proper (if slightly unusual) food and drink.
Wrapping Up the Madness
If you're struggling with planning your next party or just have questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Parties are supposed to be fun, wild, and occasionally a bit absurd—exactly like Wonderland itself.
Now, go ahead, plan your party and please—don’t lose your head.
