The Best Party Games to Enjoy with Your Friends This Summer! 

There’s no better way to spend your long summer nights other than engaging in intense, often relationship destroying, gaming action. 

The Best Party Games to Enjoy with Your Friends This Summer! 

We asked around the Overclockers UK office and got together this list of our best party games for you and your friends to enjoy this summer! 


Jackbox Games: 

Jackbox Games is a collection of incredible party games where all you need is your phone or tablet to play along.

With eight different party packs to choose from, each packed with a selection of chaotic yet lovable games, there is something here that you and your friends are guaranteed to enjoy.

Some of the games you can get your hands on in the different Jackbox party packs include: 

Drawful 2:  

You never need to worry about being a terrible artist again.  

In Drawful 2, players will receive a unique prompt that they must draw. After all of your friends have submitted their drawings, terrible or masterpieces, players must submit a title that fits the strange and wonderful drawings.  

The way to win is to find the correct prompt whilst trying to fool your friends into selecting your answer.  

Quiplash:  

A true battle of wits! 

In Quiplash, all players will be given a prompt, such as ‘something you’d be surprised to see a donkey do’. All you need to do is say whatever you want to!  

Each answer will be put up against each other in a head-to-head battle, where the wittiest or funniest answer wins! 

Fakin’ It:  

Show off how good, or rather how bad, of a liar you are in Fakin’ It.  

In every round, you will receive a simple instruction such as, ‘raise your hand if you’ve ever continued to eat food after finding a hair in it’. Every player, except one, The Faker, will receive the same instruction.  

If you’re The Faker, you’ve got to blend in and try to hide your suspicious hand raising or finger pointing with a quick lie to explain yourself.  


MultiVersus:  

In MultiVersus, play as iconic characters from the Warner Bros franchise in this platform fighter.

Choose between 2v2, 1v1, or 4-player intense co-op and battle it out on infamous maps, such as Batman’s Batcave. There are hundreds of fan-favourite characters for you to select from, including Harley Quinn, Superman, and even Bugs Bunny.

Each of these characters has a unique skill set and customisable perks that you can tailor to suit your teammates and gameplay style.
