Favorite Games at Holiday Parties?

Posted by Cliff on from the simply-having-a-wonderful-christmas-time dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Somehow, I got volunteered to take care of activities for the adults at my company's holiday party. For those of you who actually go to parties, what games have you played that were a lot of fun both for the geek and just the average person?"

    I would say that of all the holiday parties I've ever gone to, I've never even seen a game played - unless you count rampant gossiping, overdrinking and womanizing a game.

    What the other people in attendance do is their business. :)

    G'luck!

    Er, unless "convincing the boss to give me more drink tickets" is a game, I don't think I've ever played a game at a holiday party.

    If you have any kind of budget, get a kareoke set up with the classics, sinatra, the doobie brothers, Nas, whatever the people in your office know.
    As someone else mentioned, the office party is for gossip, debauchery, and indiscriminate photocopying, not sitting down for a game of perquacky, or Smash Bros.
    The nice thing about Kareoke is you just need one or two brave souls to get the ball rolling. After that, it's cakesauce getting others to step to the mic.
    Particularly if booze is on tap.
