Name That Tune Party Game
A phone plays one second of a song, then two, then five. First team to name it wins.
- Players
- 4–16
- Time
- 20–30 min
- What you need
- One phone with the songs, and a speaker
Why it works as a party game
Music is already how a lot of parties start. Name that tune turns the speaker into a party game instead of background.
How to play
- Build a playlist of songs the room might know. Twenty tracks is a full game.
- Play one second. Teams can buzz. A wrong buzz locks that team out of the song.
- If nobody scores, play two more seconds, then the chorus.
- One point for the one-second guess, less for later guesses. First team to seven wins.
Hosting tips
- Mix three eras so one age group does not sweep.
- Hook the phone to a speaker. A bare phone speaker makes it a guessing game about the mix.
- Skip explicit tracks unless you know the room.
