A fun evening with friends? A game?

For an even crazier night

At certain points during a meal, the atmosphere can drop a bit. On some occasions, you may be hosting people you’re still getting to know.

There’s nothing like a little game to liven things up and break the ice. And if you can easily find the right game, that’s really cool.

Our goal is clear: to present you with a bunch of mini-game ideas, most of which can be played around a well-stocked table, to help you have a really good evening.

Easily finding the right game?

Absolutely! No need to spend hours searching online for “fun game ideas with friends” or “crazy games with buddies,” etc. You just go to FuPaGa, enter your criteria, for example, “Type of event: Night with friends,” and with a few clicks, you get the game’s descriptive sheet.

On a game sheet, we’ve taken the time to do the work for you with concise explanations. We provide a short game presentation, specify the necessary accessories, the game’s end conditions, and all the steps that make up and pace the game.

As a bonus, whenever possible, we include a YouTube demonstration video that makes you want to start playing and, more importantly, lets you see the game in action.

Finally, we offer products you can purchase online. We have considered budget constraints, reviews, and, when possible, your ability to reuse items for other games.
