1. Do You Really Know Your Family?
Put your family knowledge to the test!
"Do You Really Know Your Family?" is a game that will surprise, enlighten, and maybe even shock you with fun facts about your loved ones. The gameplay is simple: family members answer questions and complete challenges that reveal what they know about each other (or what they think they know). Questions range from favorite memories to quirks, and some challenges will get you out of your seat!
How to Play: Take turns drawing a card and ask a family member the question or challenge listed. If they get it right, they earn a point. If not, another family member gets a chance! This game’s perfect for bonding and discovering new things about each other.
Why We Love It: It’s fun, surprising, and brings out the best family stories, making it ideal for Thanksgiving gatherings.
2. What Do You Meme? Family Edition
Hilarious memes meet family fun!
The popular meme-making game, What Do You Meme?, has a family edition that’s safe and fun for all ages. Players are dealt caption cards and take turns pairing their captions with funny, family-friendly photo cards. Everyone votes on the funniest meme, and the one with the most votes wins that round!
How to Play: Each player is given a set of caption cards. One player draws a meme card (featuring a silly picture) and places it in the center. The other players each play their funniest caption card face-down, and the meme judge of the round picks the winner!
Why We Love It: It’s super simple, endlessly entertaining, and guarantees laughs—no two memes are ever the same!
3. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
A fast-paced, hilarious game that’s as quirky as it sounds!
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is as random as it sounds—and that’s what makes it so much fun! Players race to get rid of their cards, calling out “Taco,” “Cat,” “Goat,” “Cheese,” or “Pizza” as they go. The key? Match the spoken word to the image on the card. The moment there’s a match, everyone slaps the pile, and the last one to do so picks up all the cards. The first player to empty their hand wins!
How to Play: Each player takes turns laying down a card and saying the next word in the sequence, no matter what’s on the card. If the word spoken matches the image on the card, everyone slaps the pile in the center. The last person to slap picks up all the cards. Special cards add extra twists to the game, so get ready!
Why We Love It: It’s quick, chaotic, and hilarious! This game’s energy and unpredictability make it a hit for Thanksgiving.
4. You Laugh You Drink - A Party Game
Perfect for those family members who can keep a straight face…or at least try to!
While traditionally a party game, You Laugh You Drink can be adapted to a family-friendly Thanksgiving version. Split into two teams, players take turns trying to make their opponents laugh with funny faces, ridiculous antics, or clever quips. You get a point for each opponent you can make laugh—and believe us, it’s harder than it sounds!
How to Play: Each player gets a card that gives instructions on how to make others laugh, without laughing themselves! There’s a rule that if you laugh, the other team gets a point. Continue until everyone has had a turn trying to keep a straight face.
