"Multiplayer hand-to-hand combat games are ridiculously good fun and there are plenty to choose from, including the rather similar Gang Beasts and Party Animals. I've gone for this one, however, which lets everyone pick a cake to play as before competing in food fights and taking on mini-games such as roasting marshmallows and lobbing fruit into a pie. If you ever wished that the Great British Bake Off was ever-so-slightly more gladitorial, this is the game for you."
"Ever wanted to use a friend or family member as a makeshift bridge to navigate a ravine? Now finally! is your chance. Heave Ho is a puzzle platformer in which up to four players take part as stretchy creatures navigating increasingly complex and deadly levels by pulling, throwing and expanding each other in ridiculous ways. Communication and experimentation are important as is not getting too annoyed when Uncle Kevin accidentally catapults you to your certain doom."
"The latest in the long series of excellent quiz games returns for its 11th outing, allowing up to eight players to compete in a series of themed rounds involving doodling, making sound effects and, of course, trivia. Participants will need to be quiet (ie sober) enough to concentrate on the rules of each game, so maybe start the evening with this one."
Cake Bash has players controlling cakes in chaotic hand-to-hand food fights and mini-games such as roasting marshmallows and lobbing fruit into pies. Heave Ho is a four-player puzzle-platformer where stretchy characters pull, throw and expand each other to traverse dangerous levels, relying on communication and experimentation. Jackbox Party Pack 11 supports up to eight players across themed rounds featuring doodling, sound-effect challenges and trivia, suited to an early, focused party game. Let's Sing 2026 offers karaoke with 35 licensed hits and a month of online jukebox access to hundreds more songs, with microphone bundle options.
