Best Party Games to Bring in the New Year This 2025
Every year is the same: you host an incredible get-together with all of your friends only for you to look around while the ball drops and realize you have no one to kiss. You look to your left and see your old college roommate making out with her fiancée, you look to your right and see your coworker smooching your friend from your improv class who both just met tonight and somehow have already hit it off, and then you look straight ahead and see that your Quiplash response of “big shoes” lost to the response “farts” to the question “what does a clown wear at their wedding?”
Think positive and download The Jackbox Megapicker for free on Steam because at least you can have some great games to bring in 2025 with a bang!
The Jackbox Survey Scramble
While everyone is counting down to the ball dropping, practice by counting down the top ten most popular baby names for children you may never have. Survey Scramble is also great for just two players. So you can still have a blast playing with your bestie whose wife is out of town while waiting for your in-love friends to join.
The Jackbox Naughty Pack
Break the ice with some M-rated games in The Jackbox Naughty Pack! Who knows? You might find that your naughty sense of humor aligns with someone else’s saucy little drawings! Or at least you can practice being vulnerable, yet funny when working towards your New Year's resolution of joining some dating apps.
Dodo Re Mi - Party Pack 10
While everyone is making out, show that you are a pro at the mouth canon by saving every bird single-handedly in Jackbox’s first rhythm game, while also giving the group great tunes to kiss to. How thoughtful!
Junktopia - Party Pack 9
Out with the old, in with the old but rebranded to seem new! Junktopia teaches us to reuse, reduce, and recycle. So while your New Year's Resolution is to consume less, start practicing by seeing old junk anew with Junktopia!
Also the Junktopia wizard is the opposite of an aphrodisiac, so it might actually get people to stop making out for two seconds. You’re welcome!
You Don’t Know Jack Full Steam - Party Pack 5
Impress your guests with your love of trivia knowledge! And even if you don’t have someone to kiss this New Year’s Eve, at least you may get a chance to “screw” in this classic trivia game from Jackbox!
