You’re thinking about hosting a game night, but you want it to be so much more than board games or trivia. You want it to be memorably epic, and at 9 Square in the Air, we’re here to help you set the scene.
80s Game Night:
Go retro. Decorate with 80s movie posters and plan to serve snacks that made their debut in the 80s, such as Cool Ranch Doritos and Nerds candy. Chicken McNuggets also appeared in the 1980s, and nobody ever was sorry to see a healthy stack of those at a party.
To gain entry, your guests should dress the part, with bonus points to those that pull off a celebrity look from the 80s. Set up 9 Square in the Air, labeling each square with an 80s event, such as Ronald Reagan being elected president, the MacIntosh computer hitting the market and the arrival of MTV.
Space Exploration:
The foundation for this game night is a NEON Deluxe 9 Square in the Air game set and black lights. You’ll want to decorate in neon and bright white so that when you turn out the lights, all the right items glow. In addition to playing 9 Square in the Air, you can organize some fun games like Space Jeopardy and flashlight tag that utilize the whole facility where you are holding your game night. Make sure your guests wear neon or white colors so they will glow in the black light.
Movie Themed Game Night:
You could organize your night around a single movie, such as Toy Story, Napoleon Dynamite or Princess Bride, or let your guests organize their own theme by family, age or other category. Have a costume contest, an impressions contest and charades, then have your guests play 9 Square in the Air in character.
Game Night by the Fire:
Set up your 9 Square in the Air outside and then gather what you need for a bonfire. You’ll have a fun time playing 9 Square in the Air, followed by classic campfire songs and games. Don’t forget the hot dogs and s’mores!
Amazing Race Game Night:
Have teams compete in a complicated obstacle course and treasure hunt contest. Make 9 Square in the Air available for teams that finish earlier, so that they are having fun while they wait for other teams to roll in. If your game night is for teens, make sure you have some adult drivers recruited, as well as adults stationed at each leg of the hunt.
Board Game Night:
It’s a classic because it’s always fun. Set up stations with a variety of board games and have a plan for how you break kids into groups. For instance, when they walk in you could have them choose from a basket of candy bars, and this corresponds to which board game they are assigned to play first. Have 9 Square in the Air set up for some fun while guests drift in at the beginning and for some fun at the end of the night after games are winding down.
