1.Craft Party: DIY Bracelets & Beyond
Ever picked up a bunch of beads and thought, “Hmm, what if…”? That’s the start of a mini crafting revolution.

Who doesn’t love movies? But why stop at watching?
Before the marathon, let everyone suggest a favorite flick. Flip a coin to choose—adds some suspense!

Serve popcorn with different toppings—cheese, caramel, chili powder. Conversation starter + munchies = perfect pair.
3.Story Circle: Spin a Tale
Ever tried collaborative storytelling? One person starts a sentence, the next continues, and on it goes.

8.Karaoke Sessions
Who doesn’t love belting out a tune? Even if you can’t carry a note, it’s more about silliness than perfection.

Chat, catch up, and enjoy the self-care—because bonding and relaxation go hand in hand.

The best part? It invites vulnerability and laughter, often in the same breath.

A scavenger hunt at night—sounds adventurous, right?

The fun? Racing around in the dark, finding odd objects, and the laughs once everyone compares what they found.

Label each bite—spicy, sweet, tangy.
Guess the flavors blindfolded.
It leads to surprise revelations and food-related discussions.
13.Paint & Sip (Non‑Alcoholic Style)

Each person paints while sipping their drink, chatting casually.
No rules or expectations—just vibrant strokes and shared moments.
14.Board Games+ Twist
