Some of our favs...

Guess Who

You'll need...

Pen and paper, a hat (or an empty pint glass will also do) and some shots.

How to play...

  2. The first player picks a secret out of the bag and tries to guess whose secret it is
  3. If they guess the correct hen, then that hen has to take a shot. If the player guesses wrong, she has to down the shot.
Mr and Mrs Questions

Hot Shots

You'll need...

Funky shot glasses, bottle(s) of spirits, water.

How to play...

  1. Line up a set of shot glasses (enough for each hen)
  2. Fill some of the glasses with water, the rest of the glasses should be filled with a clear spirit (vodka, tequila, gin).
  3. Switch the glasses around so the hens won't know which is which.

Drink if...

You'll need...

Full glasses

How to play...

  1. The games master should prepare some risqué questions for the hens to confess to. Such as "Have you ever had sex in a public place?"
  2. The questions can be as tame or as wild as you like.
  3. The games mistress (you) will then ask for people to confess until all the girls have pleaded guilty (or are too drunk to confess anymore)

...you've had sex in a public place.
...you've ever slept with a work colleague.
...you've ever taken revenge on an ex.
...you've been caught having sex.
...you've caught someone else having sex.
...you've ever been in trouble with the police.
...you've ever lied to a boyfriend.
...you own more than 20 pairs of shoes.
...you've ever flirted with your boss.
...you've used your feminine charms to get what you want.
...you've had a toyboy.
...you've kissed someone 15 years older than you.
...you've kissed someone younger than you.

  3. If she is wrong, she must drink. If she is right, the other player must drink

Two Truths & A Lie

Some well-oiled hens

How to play...

Hen party drinking games are a great way to break the ice if none of the hens know each other particularly well. It's also a great way to get the girls relaxed before a big night out.

Hen drinking games can be enjoyed in the comfort of your hen party self-catering accommodation or in a fun bar. Wherever you decide to play, always remember to drink responsibly and with consideration for those around you.
