Galentine's Day Games for Adults

Galentine's Day games for adults, not a printable craft hour

Galentine's Day sits on February 13, the day before Valentine's Day, and it is for the friends in the room. Keep the group small. Do not sort people into single and taken. A coupled friend is here for the friendship. Someone who hates the holiday can still play if the prompts are about the group, not about who has dinner tomorrow.

Most Galentine's Day games for adults are bingo cards, a craft table, or a hunt that needs a printer. This page is a girls night you can host after work. A pink snack can sit on the table. It is not round one. If the night is her birthday, use the girls night birthday games. If February 13 is only one option and you are still picking the theme, use the girls night ideas at home. If it is New Year's Eve, use the New Year's Eve party games.

Ask one question before you pick a deck: did this group ask for dating prompts, or did they ask to see each other? Start with friendship either way. None of these rounds need a drink. If you want a sip rule, use the drinking games for girls night and agree it first: one small sip, or a one-sentence story. Water and soda use the same rule, and that version is only for a group where everyone drinking alcohol is of legal drinking age. If the phone needs a charge, the games with no equipment cover the gap.

An order for a February girls night

Run five beats and cut one if a story is still going. The lines under each beat are examples you can read aloud. The button opens a shuffled deck of the same kind of round. The phone does not repeat this page word for word.

1. While coats are still on: friendship icebreakers

   One sentence each, including the host. Nobody keeps score. Try: what is a plan this group actually kept this year? What is a text from this chat you saved on purpose? Who do you call when the problem is practical, not dramatic? Use this opener when a friend brought someone the group is still meeting.

   Play the Icebreakers deck

   Best for: the first ten minutes

2. Most likely to, about the friends who showed up

   Count to three and point together, including the reader. One sentence of defence, then move on. Point only at people who are playing. Examples: most likely to remember everyone's coffee order and forget her own. Most likely to plan the next dinner before this one has ended. Most likely to send a voice note that should have been one line. More lines are on the Most Likely To questions page. Skip any that do not fit.

   Play the Most Likely To deck

   Best for: friends who can take a joke

3. Keep or kindly no

   This is Would You Rather with a friendship rule. Read a habit. Left hand means keep. Right hand means kindly no. A tie can stand. One sentence, then the next habit. Examples: a friend who is five minutes late and texts before she arrives. A friend who answers the group chat with a voice note. A friend who remembers a hard week and does not announce that she remembered it. Stay on friendship habits until someone asks for dating habits. The would you rather questions are a written set.

   Play the Would You Rather deck

   Best for: a group that likes picking sides

4. Never Have I Ever, friendship before dating

   Anyone who has done it says so. Do not demand the story. Dating lines wait until the room has asked. Examples: never have I ever cancelled on this group and then posted that I was busy. Never have I ever saved a screenshot for this chat and then decided not to send it. Never have I ever pretended I had already heard the story so she would not have to tell it twice. The written list is the Never Have I Ever questions.

   Play the Never Have I Ever deck

   Best for: after everyone has spoken once

5. One specific compliment, then stop

   Each person tells the friend on her left one compliment that names something she did: a ride, a shift she covered, a message on a bad day. "You are amazing" does not count. She may pass. Once around the circle is the game. The link below selects only the Challenge deck if you want a sofa dare instead, and the written prompts are the truth or dare questions.

   Play one Challenge card

   Best for: the last ten minutes

After Dark is a separate 18+ deck. The game asks you to confirm that everyone playing is old enough before those cards are included, and it is not the default for this night. The 18+ question guide explains when that round fits. If you do opt in, the pass rule on this page does not change, and you still do not name anyone who is not playing.

6 friendship prompts

Safe when the guest list is mixed, including a friend who came with someone new. A pass is a complete turn.

1. What is a tiny job this group does for each other that nobody puts on an invitation?
2. Who remembers the restaurant you always end up at, and who suggests a new one every time?
3. What is a message in this chat you would not want to lose if you changed phones?
4. Which friend gives advice you actually use, and which friend gives advice you enjoy and ignore?
5. What is a plan you made in February that you were still glad about in June?
6. Who is the person you text "are you home" when you do not want advice, only company?

6 votes for the middle of the night

Left hand to keep, right hand for kindly no, or just say it. One sentence, then the next habit. These are about how the group behaves, not about a person on trial.

1. A friend who sends the calendar invite and also brings the snack she said she would bring.
2. A friend who is late and warns you, versus a friend who is late and arrives with a story.
3. Replying to a long voice note with a voice note of the same length.
4. A group photo that takes one try, versus a group photo that takes ten and still gets posted.
5. Suggesting a weeknight plan that ends at a time you wrote down in advance.
6. Remembering an ex's name well enough to avoid the story, without telling the story.

6 bolder prompts for a group that opted in

Dating and judgment, for close adult friends who asked for a bolder round. No names from outside the room. If anyone hesitates, go back to the friendship list. That is a finished decision, not a failed party.

1. Would you rather hear a friend's dating story with the name left out, or hear no story and trust that she is fine?
2. What is a February plan you cancelled because the group chat was enough and the date was not?
3. Who is most likely to give romantic advice she does not follow, and is the advice still useful?
4. Would you rather know a friend is unhappy and say so tonight, or wait until she brings it up?
5. What is a compliment about someone's love life that this room should retire?
6. Would you rather spend Valentine's Day with this group, or keep February 14 empty on purpose?

If the night is also for a bride, do not turn it into a hen party unless she asked. She can pass. Parents in the room means you use the hen party games at home or, if the guest list is family, the bridal shower games on phone. A one-phone bachelorette plan is the bachelorette games on one phone, with the bachelorette party questions and the how well do you know the bride quiz when the round is about her. An ordinary girls night, with no holiday, is the girls night questions to ask.

How the buttons open the game

Each button opens setup with that one deck selected and the others off. The level starts on Fun. Drop it to Chill while people are arriving. Spicy stays off until the whole group wants it. Pass the phone after each card. About eight cards, then switch or stop for the compliment.

The example prompts are not the cards in the deck. Read them when you want a February line the shuffle did not deal. If the room liked being read to, stay on the written guides. If they liked being dealt to, stay on the phone.

You do not pay per deck. The first 6 cards are free to start. The full unlock is a one-time $4.99 payment. It is not a subscription.
