How to play
Screamer is an exciting, high-energy game perfect for large groups. Get the group to stand in a circle facing inwards. Choose one player to stand in the center of the circle. This player needs to control the pace of the game. They must firstly say "heads down" and the rest of the group in the circle must immediately look down & close their eyes. When the center player says "heads up" all of the players in the circle must then look up and focus their eyes across the circle at a random person. If they lock eyes with someone else (without moving their eyes) both players who locked eyes must run to the middle of the circle screaming/yelling as loud as they can. They need to get to the vacant spot on the other side of the circle as quickly as possible. The player in the middle needs to get there before them so they can swap out. When multiple players lock eyes, there are obviously multiple players running through the center of the circle screaming and it can become a good, fun, energy-expending game!

Never Have I Ever (Family Edition)
Everyone holds up ten fingers. Players take turns saying something they have never done — "Never have I ever ridden a rollercoaster," "Never have I ever eaten sushi." Anyone who has done it puts a finger down and, if the group demands it, tells the story. Last player with fingers remaining wins. Keep the prompts wholesome for mixed groups: travel, food, embarrassing moments, and hidden talents produce the best conversations. A fast way for a new group to discover surprising things about each other.
