It probably has a better name but this is what everyone I know has called it. It’s a classic with simple rules that everyone can follow. You put a famous or well known persons name on the head of the person next to you and you go round asking 1 yes or no question at a time until someone guessed their person, then theyve won. You can then continue until everyone has guessed theirs correctly. This is a great one when people are feeling less creative/energised so don’t want to do anything like charades. a good end of the night game when wine or time have slowed you all down.

me and my friends play “what’s in my bag?” at restaurants as a silly way to pass time. must have bag, preferably with multiple compartments
We also play a game where we all try to rapid fire say the same word. So we all stand around in a circle, someone counts down, and then everyone says a word and then you look hard into each others’ eyes and say things like “I think we’re all on the same page” and “we’ve got it this time“ and then keep saying words until you all say the same one word. Sounds incredibly stupid but is amazingly fun. I recommend doing this outdoors with 3+ people. does this make sense??

10/10 road trip game
1 person (let’s call them the thinker; you need at least 3 ppl total to play) thinks of a word. don’t tell anyone! they say the first letter of the word.
the rest of the players (the guessers) start thinking of words that begin with that letter. when someone thinks of one, they give a hint that will hopefully make at least one other guesser think of the same word.
let’s say the first letter is ‘d’. Guesser 1 would say something like “I’m thinking of a country….” if another guesser can think of a country that starts with ‘d’, they say “CONTACT!” and count down 3-2-1. if both guessers say the same word at the same time, the thinker owes them another letter.
the twist is that the thinker can also guess at words, and if they correctly say the word before the guessers can, they don’t owe a letter. so the thinker could say “it’s not Denmark” before the two guessers say it, and they don’t owe a letter.
really fun bc it makes you rely on in-jokes and stuff to try to avoid giving generic clues the thinker can get.
