3 Fun Games You Can Download and Play at a Valentine’s Day Party Including Music Playlists

Written by Dusty Ramsbottom, February 4th, 2019

Valentine’s Day can either be a night to remember, or a complete pain in the kaboose. Well, I am here to tell you now, that IT CAN BE BOTH!

Ok, so for those of you reading this who do not really know what we do here, we create game’s nights that kooky entertainers like myself can download and use at parties, weekly trivia nights, or even big event productions. Some are “Team” games like Fat Bottom Trivia, or there are games that are more fun as individuals, such as Music dobOFF or Triv81.

Many of the games were written by myself personally, but some have been written by some of the other experienced hosts within our community. If you ever have suggestions for new games, or special requests, just let me know! -> [email protected]

All the games have been tested in front of real audiences, and I know every game can be a great tool in your repertoire as an entertainer to create fun events, that people will remember and talk about for weeks after the fact. They are pretty much all family-friendly other than the slight innuendo here and there. In-yer-end-o.. Ha!

We now have games prepared for pretty much all the big holidays, and here are my top picks for Valentine’s Day this year!

Game #1 - The Opening Act, “Girls Vs Boys” Music Bingo

This is an easy way to get a crowd worked up early. Fun pump-up songs like “Girls” by the Beastie Boys, or “Boys” by Britney Spears. Well, just take a look below for the playlist on Spotify. Playlists are also available to follow on Amazon Prime and Apple Music.

Game #2 - Now Let’s Get Them On Their Feet, “Lust & Love” Game Show

Plug your computer into a big-screen, or even use Chromecast or Apple TV to mirror your screen, and you are ready for an interactive Jeopardy!-esque game show. Though these games are more interactive with extra side-games, and a final challenge. You’ll need Powerpoint or an equivalent to run the program.

(Check out Brian and Chris Jones from the Jones Zone Podcast host this game for their friends at Loom Coworking in Fort Mill, South Carolina)

Game #3 - Music Trivia Party - “Turnt Up”

If you want to take it up a notch, finish off with an all-music trivia game. Give bonus points to the teams with high energy, dancing and participation. These games are based on old-school entertaining we used to do at the bars with only 2 cd players and a wireless microphone. We’ve since cleaned up the format and added the questions and side-games on the big-screen. But a good host knows how to work a room with any tools at their disposal.

Don’t forget to follow the music playlist for this game.

Thanks for sticking through this read. If you want some more information on how to host your own kick-ass parties, here’s a secret code for a free download of the Host Handbook from the trivia store: host100

I like to give bonuses for those of us who focus and can see things through until the end. :)
