What do good company, good food and drinks and fun group activities have in common? They are all indispensable components for an unforgettable weekend with friends, teams or families. A great moment for just that little bit of extra fun, relaxation and entertainment. Does organizing a fun weekend away cause the necessary choice stress and are you looking for a fun afternoon or evening program? In this blog, we will introduce you to a top 4 fun games for large groups that will provide the necessary conversation for long afterwards.
Let Geocaching surprise you
Geocaching is right up the alley of fans of the more active games. Are you hearing about it for the first time? That calls for a brief explanation. This game shows you, via a free downloadable app, the way to more than 2 million lifelike ‘treasures’ around the world. All you need is at least a smartphone or tablet on which the locations are indicated. The specific treasures are not buried, but are usually visible to the naked eye when one looks closely. Screwed to a pole, a flower box, under a loose paving stone or hidden under loose leaves. Each treasure consists of a shell in which a small book is hidden to write down your name and the moment you found it. This immediately gives a nice insight into your predecessors. A fun and fast way to get to know not only each other, but also the environment better. Who manages to discover the most treasures and leave his or her scribble for the next fortune hunter?
Take part in a pub quiz or organise it yourself
The next in the list of group activities has quickly gained popularity in the last year and in our opinion more than justified. The pub quiz offers exactly what you would expect from a quiz and more! Filled with multiple rounds full of questions on a wide variety of topics: current affairs, art, films, music, topography or history. The diversity of questions ensures that all knowledge in every team must be tapped into in order to score well. Signing up for an organized pub quiz is often done online. While planning your weekend, Google if one is planned in the local restaurants. Is this not the case? Then take matters into your own hands in one of our large holiday homes and organize one yourself. All questions can of course be thought of yourself, or purchased for a modest amount, if you are in a less creative mood. Which team will be able to stand out from the rest and walk away with eternal glory?
From swapping comes…
This group activity requires hardly any preparation and is as old as time itself. Divide the party into equal numbers among several groups and provide all parties with a simple object such as an egg or an apple. Each group is given a predetermined time slot in which this item must be exchanged in the environment for items that are larger, more beautiful or more expensive. Newly acquired items can then be exchanged again, as long as time runs. Who will manage to return to the agreed meeting point with the most beautiful object within the allotted time? In all its simplicity, this group activity is one of the most fun games for large groups and you are guaranteed an enjoyable afternoon. Make sure to clearly agree in advance what the final assessment will focus on. Is it the biggest, most expensive or the most original loot? We are curious.
Go wild together during an afternoon of paintballing
Are all the above group activities just not adventurous enough for you and are you looking for an action-packed afternoon with your company? Then an afternoon of paintballing offers a solution. Who the opponent is will depend on the size of the group. If the total exceeds 9, then a division into two camps is obvious. Smaller groups can compete as a front in different game forms against other families or groups of friends. Capture the other team’s flag or stay alive the longest as a team. The ability to run and fly through and over the paintball area makes this one of the most popular games for large groups. Put on a protective army outfit and fight each other with guns full of paint balls. Will you be able to come out of the battle unscathed?
