Games for Three to Six Friends

Last updated

This page is for a few friends on a sofa or a call, not a packed party. Three people can play Impostor, Alibi and Chain Story. Mafia at three is one Mafia and two Villagers, which is a weak round, so leave it until you have six.

The picks below describe shared-screen play. For friends elsewhere, create a group room and share the player invite; each person joins on their own device.

Play these

4 for this setting

Impostor

3–6 · 10–15 minutes a round

Similar Word at four or five friends is the best default. Blank mode once they know the rhythm.

The Lying Game

4–6 · 15 minutes

Rookie mode, the cake or gnome case, then one specific question each before the vote. Detective mode is for a second round.

Chain Story Chaos

3–6 · 10–15 minutes

Comedy or Sci-Fi with names on, so the reveal shows who wrote the line you vote for.

Would You Rather?

2–6 · As long as the argument lasts

Duel mode if you are only two. Group voting if you are three or more.

Leave these for another setting

Mafia

Wait until six people are in the room. Below that the role list is mostly Villagers and one Mafia.

Sketch & Guess

Fine later, but a pair of guessers and one drawer is thin. Four friends is the minimum that feels like a game.

Small-group evening

One Impostor round, one Rookie Alibi, then Chain Story if people will type. Would You Rather fills the gap while you wait for a late friend. Mafia works in a room with at least four players.
