all our games bombed...
Our bash had over 80 guests, so we chose self-running games.
We did Winking Killer, handed out death certificates, and chose 3 killers. One was a friend's new boyfriend. Aside from not killing anyone, he was also a A&@$#^#*%@ (She's a sweet and VERY attractive woman who needs a better BF). The other two were OK killers, but didn't kill as much as we hoped. Most of those who got killed, did their deaths, but it just seemed like they were doing it to not get pointed out as a loser.
The kids (20+ 13 yearolds) abandoned the scavenger hunt. One girl we we haven't invited in the past for her dramatic ways, caused drama, and the kids just gave up, as she HAD to be "team captain" and, well, you know the rest...
I set up a looped slideshow of decorations that mostly visible from where the TV the slideshow was on, and only a few people started it, and no one did more than 5 answers...
As ususal, the clothespin game (crossing your legs, either sitting or standing) was fine.
We didn;t even get to kids' ,mummy wraps.
In all reality, there was too many different food items, too much loud music, and not enouogh space to play other games.
Everyone had a blast nonetheless. I'd rather spend some time on setting up games that no one plays, then having a dull spot come along and clear out half the room without me having a chance at fighting it...
And, as usual, we got a dozen or more: "you ARE doing this again next year, right?" as the new invitees were leaving.
We are also getting the same question from peeps who didn;t show, or weren;t invited, thanks to the Facebook pics...
