DealDash Family Game Night Ideas with a Fall Twist
There’s nothing more fun on a chilly autumn night than a family game night. What is your family’s favorite game?
When the weather turns cool and the evenings get darker earlier, there’s something so comforting about staying in, lighting a candle, and playing games together. Game night is a fall classic, it’s cozy, screen-free, and perfect for reconnecting. Whether your household includes energetic kids, teens, or just adults looking for a low-key evening, here are a few creative ways to give your game night a fun autumn makeover. Keep reading for some fun family game night suggestions from DealDash.
Family-Friendly Fall Game Nights
Turn a regular family game night into something seasonal with simple touches. Try a a few bowls of caramel popcorn, apple cider for sipping, and cozy blankets for everyone. Choose games that are easy to play between bites of snacks: Uno, Connect 4, Codenames, or Pictionary. You can even make your own “Fall Edition” guessing game: write autumn-themed clues (like “pumpkin patch,” “rake leaves,” or “corn maze”) on slips of paper and take turns acting or drawing them. Add a small prize, maybe a candy apple or the first pick of dessert, to keep everyone motivated!
Game Nights for Teens and Tweens
Older kids might prefer games that involve a bit more strategy or competition. Ticket to Ride, Catan Junior, or Beat That! are always a hit. Try pairing the games with a make-your-own snack bar: think trail mix or caramel corn with toppings, so they can graze while they play. Encourage them to invite a friend or two and turn it into a mini fall hangout with soft lighting and upbeat music in the background. It’s the perfect way to make Friday nights fun (and keep them home without complaints!).
Just-for-Adults Game Night
When it’s time for the grown-ups to have some fun, trade apple cider for mulled wine and pull out the more competitive games. Favorites like Codenames: Deep Undercover, Trivial Pursuit, Apples to Apples, or Telestrations After Dark bring out plenty of laughter. To add a fall flair, host a “Harvest Games & Grazing Night” with a snack board full of seasonal bites. For example, pair brie with cranberry sauce, roasted nuts, and warm spiced cocktails. You can even do a couples’ tournament or a “winner takes the pumpkin pie” challenge for extra fun.
