My husband and I made up this Cocktail Party Survivor Party Game for our housewarming party. It was a great interaction game since there were several people that didn't know one another. You can adjust the numbers according to how many players. As you can see we had 18. You can also set your own theme.

TPQ Comment: Thanks for contributing this Cocktail Theme Party Survivor Game idea. I can see how this idea can be used for several different types of theme parties and the hosts can come up with different games for each segment. It's hard trying to find a game that works for large groups. I like how you purposely put the balance game AFTER the shots game. Very clever Patti :)
