How To Choose Games for a Bachelor Party
Bachelor parties and games go hand-in-hand; at this point, it’s even considered a tradition. Playing bachelor party games is a fantastic way to encourage team building and bonding without unnecessary pressure. They can also help loosen up and relax your guests, especially if they don’t know each other well.
Whether you’re planning a quiet celebration with card games or an active scavenger hunt, it’s always wise to choose games for a bachelor party ahead of time. You want bachelor party games that will complement your wedding party's personalities and activity levels. By generating bachelor party ideas and getting your ducks in a row, you can keep the event flowing smoothly and avoid awkwardness or boredom.
Bachelor Party Games for Foodies
1. Team Building Activities
Bring the heat to your bachelor party with team building activities like a cooking competition, where you’ll compete to create the best dish. Alternatively, take the scenic (and tantalizing) route with an immersive food tour — you could even turn this exciting way to explore a city into a scavenger hunt, collecting something from each foodie stop you visit.
Other fun options include a private chef experience, online cooking classes and more. Try adding a dress-up theme to your private event with a prize for the best-dressed guest. Booking these events offers an impressive private experience that accommodates large groups, plus you'll have a host who knows how to keep everyone engaged and having fun.
2. Cooking Classes
Cooking classes will turn your bachelor party into an exciting episode of "Master Chef" and it’s perfect for team building, too. With cooking classes near you, you and your groomsmen will work alongside a world-class chef, discovering what it takes to cook at a high level.
You can also take part in a competition to see who can whip up the most scrumptious dish. These classes add a dash of friendly rivalry and a sprinkle of excitement to your bachelor party, guaranteeing lasting memories.
3. Online Mixology Classes
Drinks taste even better when you’ve made them yourself, which is why online mixology classes give you and your guests the chance to try out fancy cocktails instead of the usual beers from the local bar.
Mixing cocktails can transform into a lively and somewhat competitive bachelor party game, allowing guests to unwind, relax and show off their bartending skills as they let loose. Find out who can make the best classic recipe and whose all-original cocktail is the tastiest.
Cheap Bachelor Party Games
4. Who Are Ya?
A fun and low-cost bachelor party game is “Who Are Ya?” This hilarious game can liven up the gathering in seconds. All you need is a pen, paper and an empty jar. Each person writes the name of a famous person, object or animal on a strip of paper and places it in the jar.
Players randomly select a strip, keeping their choice a secret. When the host shouts “Who Are Ya?” everyone must act out their assigned character while their teammates guess. This light-hearted bachelor party game promises plenty of laughs and a great time all around.
5. Flip Cup
If you’re looking for a bachelor party game that's both budget-friendly and nostalgic, "Flip Cup" is the perfect choice. This simple game only requires a table, some plastic cups and a beverage of your choice.
To set up, line each side of the table with cups filled halfway with a drink and split into two teams. Each team positions themselves at opposite ends of the table. The first player drinks from their cup, then tries to flip it upside down using their fingers. Once they succeed, the next teammate goes. To take victory, a team must flip all their cups first.
6. Never Again
For more fun bachelor party games that won’t break the bank, add "Never Again" to your list. In this game, players write down something the groom won't be able to do once he's married, each on a small piece of paper.
Then, one person reads each note aloud and the groom has to guess who wrote each one. Get ready for banter and plenty of funny moments that will keep guests entertained.
7. Toy Soldiers
Costing no more than five dollars for a bag of plastic toy soldiers, "Toy Soldiers" is an affordable bachelor party game that provides hours of entertainment. To play, each guest receives a plastic toy soldier upon arrival.
At any point during the night, the best man can shout, "Assume your positions!" and everyone with a toy soldier must instantly freeze in the pose of their soldier. Those who are too slow to strike their pose are out and the winner is the last person standing.
8. "Drink If…" Game
Grab some drinks and willing participants to play this budget-friendly bachelor party game. Outrageous questions and funny scenarios will turn your bachelor party into a lively occasion.
It’s simple to play: party guests raise their glasses and take a sip based on prompts that start with “Drink if…” for example, “Drink if you’ve ever peed in the pool.” or “Drink if you have ever broken a bone.” This game is a lighthearted way for the guests to bond, get to know one another and share laughs amid the celebration.
Outdoor Bachelor Party Games
9. Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger hunts aren't just for kids; it’s time to break into teams for a day of scavenger-hunting fun. This bachelor party game involves creating a fun checklist of items or tasks to be completed throughout the night.
The two teams race against the clock to check off as many items as possible, such as taking a selfie with strangers, finding specific landmarks or securing a souvenir from the bars you visit.
10. Bachelor Olympics
It’s time to work on your hamstring stretches in preparation for the "Bachelor Olympics!" This outdoor bachelor party game will turn you into an Olympian for the day.
Feature fun events like bean bag toss or relay races and you might even be able to squeeze in a game of basketball at the local park. There’s nothing like friendly competition and team spirit to get the laughter and camaraderie flowing at your bachelor party.
11. Bocce
"Bocce" is an excellent addition to your bachelor party games because it’s easy to set up, made for all skill levels and can be played on various outdoor surfaces. The aim of the game is to roll metal balls toward a smaller target ball, trying to get as close as possible.
You’ll split into two teams, taking turns throwing the bocce balls in your quest for "Bocce" victory. This bachelor party game perfectly blends strategy and entertainment, adding a relaxed yet competitive vibe to the festivities.
12. Beer Darts
"Beer Darts" is what happens when you combine a classic game of darts with drinking, making it the perfect bachelor party game. The objective is to throw a dart from a distance and hit your rival's beer can before they hit yours.
If your can is pierced, it’s time to drink up and enjoy. The game continues until one person has downed a total of three beers, making them the unfortunate (or fortunate?) loser of the round.
13. Drunk Jenga
"Drunk Jenga" is a game of coordination, skill and good times. Following the classic "Jenga" rules, players take turns removing blocks from the tower with one hand, trying not to make it topple. If the tower collapses during your turn, you take a shot or chug a beer.
Then, rebuild the tower and play again. It’s the perfect bachelor party game to play in the backyard, where there’s plenty of room for guests to master their block-removing techniques like pros.
14. Beer Dice
"Beer Dice" combines just the right amount of skill and chaos, making it a must-try bachelor party game. It requires a large table with a horizontal line in the middle and plenty of space for players to move around.
To play, split your guests into two teams. Each team will take turns tossing four dice across the table, aiming for the opponent’s cup. When a point is scored, the opposing team drinks from their cup of beer. The game goes on until a set score is reached.
15. Make a Rule
Similar to the scavenger hunt, "Make a Rule" involves bar hopping with a twist. To play, every 20 to 30 minutes, a different player creates a new rule that everyone must follow. These rules could range from not using first names and raising your drinks whenever someone says the groom's name to no swearing.
The fun lies in the challenge of remembering all the rules created throughout the night. If someone breaks a rule, they must take a shot or chug their drink as a penalty.
16. Pickleball
Add one of the latest trending sports to your bachelor party with an energetic game of pickleball, which combines elements of tennis, ping-pong and badminton. To play, grab a pickleball set with balls, split into doubles and let the games begin.
This fast-paced game features easy-to-learn rules, encourages friendly competition and laughter and gets everyone up, active and involved in the fun, making pickleball one of the best bachelor party games to play outdoors.
17. Water Polo
It’s time to put the pool to good use with a thrilling water polo game! While not your usual bachelor party game, it’s perfect if your wedding party loves to keep active.
This action-packed outdoor bachelor party game requires two teams and a mutual aim to score by throwing a ball into the opposing team's goal — think basketball but in water. Nothing beats cooling off in the pool, surrounded by friends while celebrating new beginnings.

18. Bachelor Bingo
Just like "Bingo" but better, "Bachelor Bingo" is the perfect bachelor party game that can be played indoors with eager guests. To set up for "Bachelor Bingo," either print out suitable "Bingo" cards or make your own.
If you make your own, you can come up with a list of questions related to the bachelor and get chips at the ready. Once everything is prepared, you're good to go for a fun-filled evening that will reveal who knows the most about your groom-to-be.
19. Drinking Card Games
Spice up classic card games with a bit of alcohol and let the good times roll (in moderation, of course). Start with a classic game of "Ring of Fire," where players draw cards that dictate different drinking rules.
Next, play "Poker" with a twist: every time a player folds, they take a sip of their drink. Test your skills, let loose and enjoy the perfect blend of strategy and luck.

22. Two Truths and a Lie
When it comes to icebreaker bachelor party games, "Two Truths and a Lie" takes the cake.

The other guests then discuss and try to identify which statement is a lie.
Warning: This bachelor party game might lead to hours of laughter, surprising revelations and plenty of conversation to get everyone interacting!

24. Dare or Dare?

Combined Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Games
26. Cads About Matrimony
This list of bachelor party games wouldn’t be complete without giving "Cads About Matrimony" an honorable mention. This appropriately themed game is a playful nod to the classic Cards Against Humanity and spices up any bachelor party, especially if your guests have a good sense of humor.
To play, players take turns reading a black prompt card while others submit their funniest white response card. The judge picks the best response, awarding a black card to the winner. The player with the most black cards wins.
27. Beer Pong
A throwback to college dorm days, "Beer Pong" deserves a spot on this list of fun bachelor party games. This combined bachelor and bachelorette party game lets teams split into the groom’s side and the bride's side for some competitive fun.
Simply set up cups filled with beer — or a non-alcoholic drink if the couple aren’t big drinkers. The teams then take turns throwing ping pong balls at their opponents’ cups; if a ball lands, someone drinks the contents (the bride or groom preferably) and removes the cup. The game continues until one team’s cups are cleared.
28. Never Have I Ever
Another fantastic combined bachelor and bachelorette party game is "Never Have I Ever." In this bachelor party game, players take turns stating something they've never done, such as “Never have I ever gone white water rafting.” Anyone who has done that activity has to take a drink, leading to fun revelations and often surprising confessions.
This game is especially suited for a joint celebration because it brings both sides of the wedding party together for a lighthearted classic drinking game that will spark great conversations and laughter as guests learn about each other's past adventures (or misadventures).
29. Mr and Mrs Quiz
Test how well the groom knows his bride-to-be — and vice versa — with a classic Mr. and Mrs. quiz, a must-have for any joint bachelor and bachelorette party.
This bachelor party game involves preparing a list of questions for the groom about the bride, like her favorite movie or the couple's first date and seeing if their answers match. Then, switch roles for even more fun. For a cheeky twist, add drinks — whoever answers incorrectly takes a sip as a playful penalty.
30. Bachelor Jeopardy
Turn your combined bachelor and bachelorette party into a gameshow with an interactive game of "Bachelor Jeopardy." This lively bachelor party game brings together friends of the bride and groom for some friendly competition.
Just like the classic game show, you’ll create categories related to the couple and their teams — Team Bride and Team Groom — will select categories and answer a series of questions, "Jeopardy" style. Victory goes to the team with the most points at the end.
31. Trivia
Bring everyone together at your combined bachelor and bachelorette party with a classic game of trivia.
