We all love bars, we all love games. What better combo than a bar-game. The type of game that you look forward to that Friday afternoon on the countdown to freedom…well for two days at least! What is the key to a memorable bar game then? No alcohol? Definitely not. Drinking til you can’t stand? God no. Innovation, creativity, laughter and conversation? Hell yes!
I think the first bar game which springs to mind is the fresher favourite: Ring of Fire. A pack of cards, a set of flexible rules and a group of friends – simple as. I think we could be a little more creative than this though.
My personal favourite (yes I have made one up myself) is the Monaco game, named after the place it was created in. It became a household name in the whole of my university…ok, maybe not the entire university, but definitely amongst the cool kids! It gets the brain going asking challenging questions, deserves some competitive spirit and can be as fun or as creative as you make it. The ideal ice-breaker.
Key ingredients: paper, pens, small box and a sense of humour! Each player is given 5mins to think of 5 questions/challenges/scenarios. These bits of paper are then scrunched up and put into the box which becomes the lucky, or not so lucky, dip! Within the first round you can learn a player’s deepest secret, biggest ambition, hidden talent and cheeky creative side!
As we’re in the competitive mood then, I challenge you to create the ultimate bar game. 3-2-1 GO!
