Wordle
Some of you will be up in arms about Wordle being on this list, but as bad of a wrap as trivia gets in a party setting. Nothing gets a crown more riled up than disagreement and the fear of looking dumb, and as far as we’re concerned, adding liquor to that mix can spice up things a tad further.
Everyone knows about Wordle, but for the uninitiated, Wordle is a simple but addictive word-guessing game perfect for playing in a social setting. Guess a five-letter word in six attempts while discussing and strategizing with friends. Each game is unique with its random word selection, offering endless replayability.

Next time you’re looking for a group game, try Wordle and see who can guess the mystery word in the fewest attempts.
Fifa
Ahhhhh FIFA. A tale as old as time. I have lost so many friends over this game and will continue to lose more. FIFA is undoubtedly one of the best games to play drunk at a party ever made because it just pits two players with fragile egos (I am a FIFA player, and I know we all have extremely fragile egos) against each other. Nothing gets guys fired up more than a bruised ego.
So tread cautiously (If you really want to piss people off, Pick PSG. You’re welcome.). FIFA is an online football game that allows players to match each other with existing teams or their own with the vastly popular Ultimate Team game mode, so there is something there for everyone.

Overcooked
There is nothing as convoluted and arduous as trying to give out instructions to drunk people. If you live for the chaos, you can channel your inner Gordon Ramsay and hurl as many insults as possible. This multiplayer cooking game requires players to work together in a fast-paced and chaotic kitchen environment. Not only is it one of the best games to play drunk, but you might need to be drunk to get through it.
As you and your friends scramble to chop, cook, and serve up dishes, you’ll find yourselves shouting orders and trying to coordinate your movements. With multiple levels and challenges, Overcooked is perfect for a group of friends looking for a fun and challenging game to play together but remember, what happens in the kitchen stays in the kitchen.
