Oktoberfest Party Games - Raise Your Glasses, Everyone!

Oktoberfest is known internationally for its beer, food and frivolity. To get into the spirit, there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t bring a little bit of Germany to your abode and host an Oktoberfest party. Games like those below will be sure to raise a few laughs and liven up the occasion.

“Beer Jug Relay” Oktoberfest Party Game

This Oktoberfest party game is a great one for when everyone has partaken in a few ales! It needs to be played outside, as it could involve getting wet if you’re not careful. All that’s needed for this game is 4 large buckets, 2 beer jugs and a fairly long area in which to play the game. Before the game, fill 2 of the buckets and place them side by side at the starting line, and place the 2 empty buckets side by side at the finish line. Players split into two even teams and line up, with the person at the head of each line receiving a beer jug. The object of the game is for players to fill their team’s bucket at the finish line, by taking turns to transfer the “beer” from one bucket to the other. The trick is, each player must do this by filling the jug and balancing it on the palm of their hand as they walk down. The first team to transfer all their “beer” is the winner of this Oktoberfest party game.

“A what?" Oktoberfest Party Game

This is also a great game for when festivities are well underway. After a couple of beers, guests won’t know their “whits” from their “whats”. All that’s needed for this game is 2 small objects, for example a knife and a fork. Guests sit in a circle, and the two objects are given out randomly. The game starts by one of the players holding an object passing it to the person on their right, saying “This is a whit”. The person on the right replies “A what?” to which the first player responds “A whit”. This question-and-answer routine continues halfway around the circle, at which point the second object – a “watt” – is added to the circle and sent around in the opposite direction. Anyone who confuses their “whits” with their “watts” or their “whats” must leave the circle. The last 2 players left are the winners of this hilarious Oktoberfest party game.
