New Year's party games you can play with one phone
New Year's Eve is a long night at the table, and New Year's Day often is too. Gumbo Game Night is a pass-the-phone party game you can open when you want a round, without setting up accounts or extra devices.
House Mix and Holiday Table are free. There are no ads, and the game works offline after you have opened it, so a dropped signal at midnight does not end the round.
Holiday Table words for New Year's
The Holiday Table deck includes a midnight countdown, along with cards such as confetti, party hat, noisemaker, the ball drop, and a new calendar. Those words are in the deck today, ready for Faker or for Holler, the race mode in Gumbo Game Night.
Play a round before midnight, or after
If the room is still gathering, start with Faker so one phone can move around the circle. If people already want teams, start Holler and pass the phone to each clue-giver in turn. Either way, the same link is enough: open Gumbo Game Night, pick Holiday Table, and deal.
