New Year 2019 competitions and puzzles for adults

Imagine a situation: a group of adults gathered in one room to celebrate an event. And it seems that everything is going as it should - the food is delicious, the drinks are pouring in, the music is calling to dance, but there comes a moment of satiety - the stomachs are full, everyone is a little tired of dancing, and conversations are not so active anymore. Is that familiar? This happens at every party where people with different interests and hobbies meet.

How to fix the situation or, even better, to prevent the appearance of boredom at the festival? The answer is simple - bring more variety!

Adults are the same children who want entertainment. The company can be both old friends and completely strangers. It can be women, girls, boys and men. Everyone can have completely different views on leisure and entertainment, but even the most motley company can be rallied with contests and riddles, especially for the New Year 2019!

The funniest and coolest competitions for adults

Draw an elephant (donkey, horse, cheburashka)

We will need:

2 sheets of paper attached to a wall, board, easels or anything that allows you to draw on them.
2 markers.
Eye patch for the number of participants.

How to carry out:

Divide all participants into 2 equal teams (the more people, the better), each of which lines up in front of its sheet of paper. Choose the creature you want to draw. Each participant gets a certain part of the body and blindfolded. Further, in the order of priority, the members of each team blindly draw the parts of the body they have got. The winner can be determined by speed or by the similarity of the picture to a given animal.

Stomp the enemy’s balls!

We will need:

Balloons in two different colors according to the number of participants.
The same number of long threads of medium thickness.

How to carry out:

Participants are divided into 2 teams with the same number of people. Each team is given balls of its own color on a thread that needs to be tied to a leg. The thread can be of any length, but the ball must always lie on the floor. The teams are mixed up and everyone’s task is to trample as many balls of the enemy color as possible, while not letting them burst. The participant, who did not save his ball, leaves the general heap and waits for the end of the battle. The team that will cope with opponents faster wins.

Writers

We will need:

Sheets of paper by the number of participants.
Pens in the same amount.

How to carry out:

There can be as many participants as you like, everyone sits in a circle, each is given a pen and a piece of paper. The host asks the question “Who?”, Each writes his own hero. After this, you need to bend the sheet so that the writing is not visible, and transfer it to the player on the right (each transfers his sheet and receives another from the neighbor on the left). The host asks a new question, for example, “Where did you go?”, And again everyone writes, bends the written part and passes it to the next. The following questions may follow: “Why did he go there?”, “Whom did he meet?” and so on. The competition continues until the host has questions.

At the end is a collective reading of the resulting stories and voting for the best! There are no winners in the competition, but fun and laughter are provided!

Associations

The competition is perfect for any conditions, because here you do not need props at all. All that is needed is the participants and their imagination.

How to carry out:

Everyone sits in a circle. Either the hero of the occasion (if any) begins, or the one to whom the lot fell (determined by the reader). The first person pronounces two completely unrelated words, for example, “dinner” and “machine”. The second should be a proposal so that both words fit into the same situation: "I was late for a family dinner, because the car would not start." The same participant must come up with another word that is not related to what was said: for example, "loaf". The next one should add this word to the current situation, for example, like this: "So that my wife would not be upset, I decided on the way to buy her a loaf." And so on, until there is enough imagination or until someone comes up with a logical conclusion to the whole story.

Bottle 2.0

We will need:

Empty bottle.
Harvested papers with actions written on them for participants. The bigger, the better.

How to carry out:

This game is very similar to a standard bottle: participants sit in a circle, put the bottle in the center and spin it. The key difference is that first you need to throw rolled papers with certain actions into an empty bottle, for example: “kiss on the cheek”, “invite to a slow dance”, “lick the ear” and the like. As a result, the game looks like this: the participant turns the bottle, the person she pointed to takes out one piece of paper and read out the action. It must be performed by the first participant. This is more interesting than a regular game, because you never know what you will need to do instead of a standard kiss.
