Scrawl
Fun party game for adults.
It is a sure-shot after-party game!! Unlike most adult party games, it gives players complete creative control over their adult content and allows them to let their imagination run wild. The rules of Scrawl are simple:
- Each player starts with a clipboard, a stack of whiteboard cards, and a dubious Scenario Card.
- After that, everyone must do their best to draw their scenario before passing it to the player to their left.
- This player, who has no idea what the original scenario was, covers it with another whiteboard card and writes a description of the image beneath it.
- The clipboards get passed around again. The next player attempts to illustrate the new description placed in front of them.
- This process gets repeated until all of the clipboards get returned to their owners. Players vote for their favourites after the contents of the clipboards are displayed for all to see.
Trust me when I say this game is an absolute riot. It’s perfect for boozy evenings with mates.

The Chameleon
For all the true detectives!!

Top Of The Pops
Party game for music lovers.
This game is a blast! You do not need to be an expert in music, but some knowledge is definitely helpful. Divide into two equal teams to begin the game. After that, draw a head-to-head card, read it aloud, and start the timer. In turn, two players from each team will try to answer. Say your response, then press the button to reset the machine for the next person. Continue until one of the players has run out of time or cannot answer. It is an entertaining way to get the game started.
Then you’ll need to get your teammates to guess three songs or artists from the music cards you draw. Give them a one-word clue, quote some lyrics, or give us your best kazoo rendition of a hit song. It’s time to face the music!
