1. An immersive game of Jumanji for anyone who grew up watching the movie in the '90s. The board is a replica of the one from the film and the crystal ball in the middle even illuminates with different riddles you'll have to solve in order to make it out of the jungle in one piece.
2. A Hello Kitty & Friends Monopoly for anyone who has a soft spot for all things adorable. The board and cards are covered in iconic Sanrio characters and cute spaces, like an ice cream shop and a flower garden.
3. A Rubix Race game that'll have you racing against the clock (and your opponent) to copy the sequence on the "scrambler". Whoever can slide their pieces to match the reference the fastest is the winner.
4. A game of Tapple that'll test the speed of your brain and your hands. Take turns coming up with a word for each category for every letter until all of the tiles have been pushed down before the timer runs out.
5. A Blokus XL game for Tetris masters that want a new challenge. Each player will place their pieces down on the grid, but a corner must be touching another piece of the same colour. The game ends when no more blocks will fit on the board, and whoever has the lowest amount of remaining pieces wins.
6. A game of The Floor Is Lava that'll turn your living room into your own action and adventure quest. It'll get kiddos up and moving as they leap through your space by stepping on the non-slip "stepping stones". They'll have fun finding creative ways to get to complete the course while getting away from their screens, too.
7. A Dungeons and Dragons essentials set because you've been wanting to get into the action-filled game of imagination since you finished the latest season of Stranger Things. It comes with everything you'll need to start your first D&D campaign and (eventually) become a member of the 🔥Hellfire Club🔥.
8. A game of Mind the Gap that'll have different generations battling against each other to answer fun trivia questions. Everyone from Boomers to Gen Z-ers can get in on the fun, making it perfect for family game night.
9. An Unsolved Case Files game that'll be right up your alley if you're obsessed with everything true crime. Read through all of the documents to piece together the series of (fictional) events and solve the case.
10. Or a1920s-themed murder mystery game that'll put you right in the middle of the crime scene and make you a potential suspect (dun, dun, dun). You'll have to work together as a group to act out the prompts, collect the clues, and properly identify the killer.
11. A copy of The Wine Game for anybody who wants to impress with their vast knowledge of all things vino. It'll pair perfectly with a charcuterie board while you test your friends on everything they know about different varietals, from Chardonnay to cab sauv.
12. A Friends trivia game that any fan of the '90s series will get right into. It's set up like the iconic trivia game from the series (yes, the one where they bet the apartment). Work with your teammates to correctly answer questions about Ross, Rachel, and the rest of the gang to claim superfan bragging rights.
13. A pouch of Bananagrams that has the same vibe as Scrabble, without the confines of a board. Draw the letter tiles to create your own grid of words until there are none left. Whoever completes their word grid the fastest is the winner!
14. A deck of celebrity trivia cards you can play at your next dinner party. Take turns asking and answering questions about Hollywood's favourite stars to find out who knows the most factoids about Tinseltown (it me).
15. A box of Taco vs Burrito cards that'll be fun for the whole family to play. The goal is to make the grossest card combo you can without having your ingredients get stolen by other players. Whoever has the most points at the end is the champ!
16. A Great British Baking Show game that'll give any fan a taste of what it's like to compete in the iconic tent. You'll race against the clock (just like the show) to complete a dessert that matches the reference recipes, while avoiding the dreaded "soggy" cards that'll ruin your creation.
17. An escape room in a box that'll bring a handful of tricky puzzle activities into the comfort of your own home. It comes with access to a companion app that'll time you while playing ambient, themed sounds to level up your experience.
18. A deck of UNO cards so you can take your favourite game with you wherever you go. You'll be sure to make fun memories whenever you play with your pals, even when the game gets ~heated~ (we've all been there).
19. And finally, a game of We're Not Really Strangers if your idea of a good time is deep chats. You can spend a few hours answering the prompts to get to know your fave people on a whole new level, and build closer connections in the process.
You on the next game night:
