Easy to follow hundreds of games with a lot of ideas. The games vary from table games to fun activities, and are suitable for a wide range of audiences. I picked about a dozen games for my New Year's Eve party within an hour! I would highly recommend this book to anybody who is like me - not naturally spontaneous and inventive.

This book has lots of good ideas and gives ways to adapt them or change them to suit almost anyones needs. In the back, the games are broken down by category (for ex, icebreakers, pre-party games, quiet games, hunts, etc...) and then another section has them organized by name. It has a nice section on party planning, things to think about when throwing a party and motivating guests that will be helpful to any newcomer to party throwing. There are no risque games but lots of them are easily adaptable and can be made less "family oriented" if that is your crowd. The majority of these games are for ADULTS not kids.

The main reason I purchased the book was because I was out of ideas for good party games and activites. This book certainly solved that problem. It has a ton of things for great parties, not lame games either that people throw in just to fill space. This thing is 100% usable. And what else is nice its adaptable, and they show you how. Really great book worth every cent and more. I do have one problem with though. I only have one party to do right now and too many ideas !

If you've always thought party games were silly, this book is for you. Adult games both fun and challenging, guaranteed to get your guests laughing and talking, and lots of basic step-by-step party-planning ideas that will help novices and pros alike to throw the most popular parties. The chapter on party themes is a great place to start and is bound to spark a few ideas of your own. With this book in hand, you'll never be afraid to throw a party again!

If you're not inherently super outgoing but want to invite friends, neighbors, etc. to your home to socialize, this book will give you many, many ideas to choose from on how to create a warm, friendly atmosphere. Most of the icebreaker ideas and party games are practical and fun. This book is also great for school teachers looking for ways to break the ice in their classrooms on those first couple of awkward days. I confidently recommend this book to those of you who want to throw a party or have a get together, but are hesitating out of fear of what to do with your guests. It's truly a fun book and will bring people together.

I enjoyed the book from cover-to-cover--all 151 pages with 77 pages alone devoted to games. The author provides a great variety of games for anyone over the age of six! They range from the intellectual to the physical; from quiet table games such as "Dear Advice Columnist" to "Shogum" with detective teams driving around the neighborhood. There also terrific ideas for providing atmosphere, many unique party themes, invitation ideas and game supplies that are neither complicated or expensive. There are games for those who've just met to friends who known each other for years

Sending out invitations is easy, planning and faciliting a good party is another thing. This book walks you through every step. It offers themes, prizes, food suggestions and games to bring the people together. This book organizes you as well as making you creative. What a helping hand!

It's so hard to get people together, once they are together you want to keep them occupied and happy. This book was my savior. I had fun gathering all of the supplies and making the games as well as playing them.

This book revolutionized my parties. It is chockfull of practical suggestions for organizing a party, energizing your guests and making your party the talk of the town. I love how the author not only suggests great games, but has the games categorized by what kind they are and when they should be played. Lots of helpful advice on how to warm up your group. I was absolutely amazed at how ENTHUSED my guests became the first time I followed her advice and used the games to make them mingle, break the ice, split a part couples, and get them laughing. It is a hoot. Double thumbs up.

This book is full of GREAT party fun. I've been looking for a book just like this to give my parties extra fun. Some ideas are simple, but they work. I was not disappointed with this book!
