The 10 Hottest Bachelorette Party Games That Guarantee an Unforgettable Night (2025 Trends)

Tired of Boring Bachelorette Games? Finding the perfect bachelorette party games can be tough. You want something more original than just “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” (or… other things). You want games that actually break the ice, create side-splitting laughter, and make the bride feel celebrated.

Forget the awkward, overused ideas. We’ve scoured TikTok, Instagram, and real-world parties to find the 10 hottest, trending games that will make her “ugly cry” with joy (and laughter). Let’s get this party started!

1. The PowerPoint Night – The “TikTok Famous” Game

This is the game that turns your party into a hilarious and “academic” roast conference. It requires advance preparation, but the results are priceless.

Pre-Party Preparation (Crucial):

1. Inform Guests: When you send out the invitations, you (the host) must inform all guests about this activity. Require each person (or team of 2-3) to prepare a short PowerPoint (or Google Slides) presentation, about 3-5 minutes long (5-7 slides max).
2. Provide Topics: Give them a list of hilarious suggested topics to choose from, for example:
   • “A Definitive Ranking of the Bride’s Ex-Boyfriends: An In-Depth Analysis.”
   • “Why [Groom’s Name] is the Winner (With Charts and Data).”
   • “The Group’s Most Chaotic Drunk Nights: A Case Study.”
   • “A Scientific Hypothesis on the Bride’s Next 5 Years.”
   • “Why [Bride’s Name] Will (Or Won’t) Make a Great Wife.”
3. Prepare Tech: The host must ensure there is a TV (with an HDMI cable for a laptop) or a projector. Collect all presentation files onto a single laptop before you begin.

How to Play at the Party:

1. Gather everyone around and pour some drinks.
2. One by one, each person (or team) comes up to “present” their file.
3. The presenter should deliver it with mock seriousness, as if defending a thesis, while everyone else is free to ask questions, heckle, and cheer.
4. There are no winners or losers; the goal is to generate laughter and unforgettable moments.

Why it’s “Hot”: It shows the effort your friends put in, digs up countless funny memories, and is incredibly creative. The bride’s reaction to seeing her life history analyzed in a PowerPoint is the best part.

2. Custom “Guess Who?” – The Nostalgic DIY Game

This game takes a classic board game and turns it into a tear-jerkingly funny keepsake dedicated entirely to the bride.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Buy the Game: You’ll need to purchase a “Guess Who?” board game. You can find these at most toy stores, department stores, or online.
2. Collect Photos (The Most Important Part): This is where your spy skills come in. Secretly collect photos of 20-24 people who are significant to the bride. This list should include:
   • Friends: Everyone attending the party.
   • Family: The bride’s (and groom’s) parents and siblings.
   • The Past: A few “notable” ex-boyfriends (only if the group is close and the bride has a good sense of humor about it).
   • Pets: Her beloved dog or cat.
   • Celebrities: A few of the bride’s biggest celebrity crushes.
3. Print and Cut: You need to measure the small cards in the “Guess Who?” game. Then, use a computer (like Canva) to resize the photos you collected to the exact dimensions and print them (in color, on photo paper or cardstock). Carefully cut them out and insert them into the flip-up slots on the game board, replacing the original characters.

How to Play at the Party:

1. This is a 2-player game. Two players sit opposite each other, each with a customized board.
2. Each player draws a secret “mystery card” (also one of the custom characters) for their opponent to guess.
3. Taking turns, each player asks one “Yes/No” question about the mystery character’s appearance or identity. For example:
   • “Is your person one of [Bride’s Name]’s ex-boyfriends?”
   • “Is your person currently in this room?”
   • “Is your person related to the groom?”
4. Based on the answer, you flip down (eliminate) the characters who don’t fit. For example, if the answer is “No, not an ex-boyfriend,” you flip down all the exes on your board.
5. The first person to correctly guess their opponent’s mystery character wins.

Why it’s “Hot”: It requires significant effort, but seeing your own face (or the bride’s ex!) on that classic game board is an incredibly funny experience. After the party, it makes for an amazing, personalized gift for the bride to keep.

3. “Mean Girls” Burn Book Game – The Hilarious Flashback Game

Inspired by the iconic movie, this game is a fun (and safe) way to share the group’s wildest memories, funniest moments, and deepest secrets.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Create the “Burn Book”: Get a hardcover notebook (pink is preferred!). Print out the “Burn Book” logo (easily found on Google) and glue it to the cover.
2. Prep Supplies: Bring plenty of pens and identical small slips of paper (so no one can be identified by their stationery).

How to Play at the Party:

1. Collect the “Secrets”: Pass out the slips of paper to everyone. Ask each person to anonymously write down a funny memory, a wild secret, or a confession about the bride or themselves within the friend group.
   • Examples: “I was the one who broke [Bride’s Name]’s mom’s vase 5 years ago” or “I used to have a huge crush on [Bride’s Name]’s brother.”
2. The “Burn Bowl”: Collect all the folded slips of paper into a bowl or hat.
3. Read and Guess: The bride (or the host) draws one slip of paper at a time and reads the secret out loud.
4. After each secret is read, the entire group (including the bride) must guess who the “author” of that secret is.
5. After the guesses, the real author can choose to reveal themselves (or not, depending on how juicy the secret is!).

Why it’s “Hot”: This is a fantastic icebreaker that digs up old memories everyone might have forgotten. It guarantees huge laughs as everyone tries to figure out who wrote what.

4. The Groom Video Quiz – The “Upgraded” Classic Game

This is the most classic bachelorette game, but upgraded for the digital age. Instead of just reading the groom’s answers off a piece of paper, the bride gets to see his actual reaction, making it far funnier and more touching.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Contact the Groom (Secretly): The host must secretly contact the groom at least a week before the party.
2. Send Questions: Send the groom a list of 10-15 questions about the bride and their relationship.
   • Funny Questions: “What is the bride’s most annoying habit?”, “What’s the worst meal she ever cooked for you?”, “Who apologizes first after a fight?”
   • Sweet Questions: “Where was your first kiss?”, “What do you love most about her?”, “What made you realize she was ‘the one’?”
3. Request Video Answers: Ask the groom to take a selfie video of himself answering the questions. (Important: Ask him to either record separate, short clips for each answer or one long video where he clearly pauses between answers).
4. The Secret Message: Ask him to record one final, 30-second clip giving a super sweet, loving message directly to the bride. This will be the emotional finale.

How to Play at the Party:

1. Gather everyone. Give the bride a small whiteboard and marker (or paper and pen) to write her answers.
2. The host reads the first question out loud.
3. The bride must write down the answer she thinks the groom gave.
4. After she reveals her answer, play the groom’s video clip for that question for the whole group to see.
5. Scoring: If the bride’s answer is correct (matches the groom’s), the whole group drinks (to celebrate!). If the bride’s answer is wrong, the bride must drink (or do a small dare).
6. Repeat for all questions.
7. Finally, play the “secret message” video at the very end to create that true “ugly cry” moment of happiness.

Why it’s “Hot”: The groom’s reaction while answering (head-scratching, awkward laughs, eye-rolls) is often funnier than the answer itself. It’s the perfect balance of hilarious and heartwarming.

5. Spicy Jenga – The Custom “Truth or Dare” Game

This is a super easy DIY game that turns the classic Jenga into a bachelorette-themed version of “Truth or Dare.” The “spice” level is completely up to you.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Get Jenga: Buy a standard Jenga block game.
2. Write on the Blocks: Use a permanent marker to write on the faces of the blocks. You should aim for a mix of “Truths” and “Dares.”
   • Truth Ideas: “Name your worst ex,” “Have you ever had a crush on a friend’s boyfriend?”, “What’s the biggest secret you’ve kept from your parents?”, “Describe your drunkest night ever.”
   • Dare Ideas: “Call your mom and tell her you just won the lottery,” “Text your most recent ex using only emojis,” “Let the group post an ugly photo of you on their story,” “Take a shot concocted by the group.”

How to Play at the Party:

1. Set up the Jenga tower as usual.
2. The group sits in a circle around the tower.
3. Taking turns, each person carefully pulls one block from anywhere in the tower (except the top layer) using only one hand.
4. After successfully pulling the block, the player must read the “Truth” or “Dare” written on it out loud and must complete it.
5. After completing the task, they place their block back on top of the tower.
6. The game continues until someone topples the tower.
7. The Penalty: The person who makes the tower fall must face a special penalty (decided by the group), such as taking two shots in a row or calling the groom and singing him a song.

Why it’s “Hot”: This game combines the physical suspense of Jenga with the personal thrill of “Truth or Dare.” It’s simple, requires minimal setup, and is easily customized to fit your group’s “wild” comfort level.

6. Prosecco Pong – The “Classy” Upgraded Drinking Game

This is the “classy” and “cleaner” version of the Beer Pong you remember from college parties. It’s perfect for the vibe of a bachelorette, looks great in photos, and is easy for everyone to play.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. A Table: You’ll need a long table (dining table, kitchen island, or any flat surface).
2. Cups: You’ll need 12-20 cups. For the “classiest” look, use plastic champagne flutes (disposable ones work great) instead of red solo cups.
3. Balls: 2-4 clean ping pong balls.
4. The Drink: Instead of beer, stock up on Prosecco, Champagne, or any pink cocktail the group loves (like an Aperol Spritz).

How to Play at the Party:

1. Divide the group into two teams, positioned at opposite ends of the table.
2. Each team arranges 6 (or 10) cups in a triangle formation at their end of the table.
3. Pour the Prosecco (or chosen drink) into the cups (you only need to fill them about 1/3 of the way).
4. Taking turns, a member from each team tries to throw a ping pong ball into one of the opposing team’s cups.
5. The Drinking Rule:
   • If your ball lands in an opponent’s cup, a member of that team must drink the contents of that cup. The empty cup is then removed from the table.
   • The first team to run out of cups is the losing team.
6. The Penalty (Optional): The losing team can be made to do a group “dare” chosen by the winning team.

Why it’s “Hot”: It brings the competitive energy of Beer Pong but with a much chicer aesthetic that fits a girls’ party. The “plink” of a ping pong ball landing in a champagne flute and the resulting cheers are always a highlight of the night.

7. The Lingerie Guessing Game – The “2-in-1” Gift Game

This is a classic game that combines gift-giving with a fun guessing activity. It helps stock the bride’s honeymoon wardrobe and creates a lot of laughs.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Inform Guests (Secretly): When sending invitations (or in a private group chat without the bride), ask each guest to bring a piece of lingerie as a gift for the bride.
2. The Special Rule: Ask everyone to choose a piece of lingerie that reflects… their own personality, not the bride’s. For example, a bold friend might choose a black lace set, while a sweet friend might choose a soft pink silk item.
3. Anonymous Gifting: Instruct guests to remove the price tags and place the gift in a bag with no name on it.
4. Prep a “Clothesline”: The host should bring a small rope or string and a bag of clothespins (wooden ones look best).

How to Play at the Party:

1. When the bride is busy (e.g., in another room), the host quickly collects all the lingerie gift bags.
2. Hang the string across a wall and use the clothespins to hang up every piece of lingerie, creating a “lingerie line.” This makes for a fantastic photo backdrop.
3. Invite the bride back into the room.
4. The bride must look at each piece, one by one, and guess who brought it, based on “whose personality does this lingerie match the most?”
5. After the bride makes her guess, the actual gift-giver reveals herself.
6. Whether the bride was right or wrong, the giver can share why she chose that piece.
7. All the lingerie is then gathered up for the bride to take home.

Why it’s “Hot”: It’s always a hit. It’s hilarious to watch the bride try to match a “wild” piece of lingerie to a seemingly shy friend, or vice-versa. It’s a great bonding game that is also incredibly practical.

8. The “Date Night Jar” – The Sweet & Sentimental Gift Game

After all the loud, wild games, this is a sweet, calming activity. It’s less of a “game” and more of a meaningful keepsake that the bride can take home and use throughout her first year of marriage.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. A Jar: The host needs to provide a beautiful, empty glass or ceramic jar with a lid.
2. Writing Supplies: Prepare plenty of wooden popsicle sticks (craft sticks) or small, sturdy pieces of colored paper.
3. Pens: Provide several different colored markers.

How to Play at the Party:

1. This is a great activity for when everyone is relaxing and chatting (e.g., after dinner or while sipping wine).
2. Place the jar and the pens/sticks in the middle of the table.
3. Ask each guest (including the host) to write down 1 to 3 unique, creative, or simple date night ideas on the sticks/papers.
4. Color-Code (Optional): You can upgrade this by using different colored pens for different types of ideas. For example:
   • Pink Pen: Romantic Dates (e.g., “Sunset picnic,” “Couples massage”).
   • Blue Pen: Adventurous Dates (e.g., “Try an indoor rock-climbing wall,” “Go for a random day trip”).
   • Black Pen: “At-Home” / Free Dates (e.g., “Build a pillow fort and watch movies,” “Cook a new recipe together”).
5. After everyone is finished writing, the bride can pick a few sticks/papers at random and read the ideas out loud to the group.
6. Collect all the ideas in the jar, put the lid on, and present it to the bride as a gift. The advice for her is: “Whenever you two don’t know what to do for date night, pull an idea from this jar.”

Why it’s “Hot”: It shows the group’s genuine care for the couple’s happiness. It’s simple, inexpensive, high-bonding, and a practical gift the bride will actually use and cherish.

9. DIY Activity Station (Decorate Your…) – The Creative Keepsake Game

This is a 2-in-1 activity that’s both a relaxing group game and a way to create a personalized party favor that everyone gets to take home. It’s perfect for a chill afternoon at the Airbnb, especially when the group needs a “break” between party activities.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Choose Your “Item”: The host decides what the group will decorate. The most popular options include:
   • Sunglasses: Buy matching sunglasses (usually heart-shaped or cat-eye) for every guest.
   • Wine Glasses: Get plastic or glass champagne flutes or wine glasses for everyone.
   • Tote Bags: Buy plain canvas tote bags.
2. Buy Decorating Supplies: This is key. Go all out on the supplies:
   • For Glasses/Sunglasses: Letter beads, small flowers, flat-back pearls, strong glue (like E6000 or a hot glue gun), oil-based paint pens.
   • For Tote Bags: Fabric markers, acrylic paint, stencils.
3. Set Up the Station: Prepare a table, lay down a tablecloth (for easy cleanup), and display all the craft supplies invitingly.

How to Play at the Party:

1. Put on the bride’s favorite playlist and pour some drinks.
2. Invite everyone over to the DIY station and let them pick their base item (glasses, cup, or bag).
3. There are no rules. Guests simply relax, chat, and get creative, making their own unique design.
4. People can make an item for themselves, or they can create a special one just for the bride.
5. After the items are finished and have had time to dry, the whole group can wear/use their creations (e.g., put on their newly decorated sunglasses) for a very fun and custom group photo.

Why it’s “Hot”: It gives people (especially introverts in the group) something to do with their hands while still socializing. Guests love having a tangible, personal item to take home as a memento from the trip.

10. “Drink If…” – The Fastest Icebreaker Game

This is the timeless classic game that serves as the quickest icebreaker, gets everyone laughing, and encourages (voluntary) confessions of the group’s best secrets. It’s the perfect game to start the night or to play while everyone is getting ready (pre-gaming) before going out.

Pre-Party Preparation:

1. Drinks: Ensure everyone has a drink in hand.
2. Prepare the Prompts (2 Options):
   • Option A (DIY): The host writes 20-30 “Drink if…” statements on small slips of paper and puts them in a bowl.
   • Option B (The Trend): Buy a pre-made bachelorette card game. Decks like “For The Girls” or other “Bachelorette Drinking Games” are very popular because they have hilarious, unexpected prompts you might not think of.

How to Play at the Party:

1. Everyone sits in a circle.
2. Taking turns, each person draws a slip of paper (or a card) and reads the prompt out loud.
3. The prompts usually start with: “Drink if you have ever…”
   • Tame Example: “…lied to get out of a date.”
   • Fun Example: “…stalked a friend’s ex on social media.”
   • Spicy Example: “…had a crush on a friend’s older brother.”
4. Anyone in the circle who has done the action described must take a drink (a sip).
5. There are no winners or losers in this game; it simply continues until everyone is happily buzzed or you run out of cards/prompts.

Why it’s “Hot”: It’s fast-paced, requires no thought, and always creates moments of “Oh!” or “OMG, you too?!”. It’s a game of mass confession and a fantastic way for the group to bond.
