Milestone birthday party games: Another Trip Round the Sun

As people arrive

  • Birthday Bluff
    One true birthday story from someone in the room, hidden among the fakes. Find the real one.
  • Ballpark: Birthday Numbers
    How many candles has Sam blown out in one go? Everyone guesses; closest without going over wins.
  • Birthday Card Doodles
    A phrase becomes a drawing becomes a guess, all the way round the party. See how far it drifts.

At the table

  • Birthday Memories
    Birthdays you remember, parties you survived. Guess whose memory it is.
  • The Story of the Night
    Tell a true story about the birthday person, or a birthday, and stop right before the ending. The room guesses what happened.
  • Glow Up (also comes with Pro)
    Everyone writes a true before and after. The room sees the before and guesses whose glow up it is.
  • The Kind Roast
    A rotating judge, a prompt about the birthday person, and everyone's answers with no names. Win the judge, not the room.
  • The Surprise Party (also comes with Pro)
    June is seventy, thirty people are hiding in the living room, and the family's present — her late husband's watch, mended at last — is gone from its box. Read it aloud, then accuse someone — in secret.

Cake time

  • Toast Roulette (also comes with Pro)
    A one-line toast to someone you were dealt in secret.
  • Guest of Honour
    Sixty seconds, three questions, one person in the spotlight. Start with the birthday person.
  • The Speech Nobody Rehearsed
    A birthday speech written a line at a time by people who only saw the line before. Then somebody has to read it.

Before the night ends

  • The Next Decade
    Secret votes about the years ahead. Guess who the room picked before the reveal.
  • By Your Next Birthday
    Predict something about yourself. It opens next time you play — the next birthday, say. Did it come true?

How it works

  • Paid once. $19, plus any tax where you live. Nothing renews, and it isn't part of Pro.
  • Kept by your group. You name the group when you buy; everyone with the group's link can play on the group's devices.
  • Two ways to play. Some games can be about the guests, or about the birthday person: enter their answers once, and every round is about them.
  • Guests need nothing. Only the host's screen needs the pack. Guests join on their own phones with a room code, or you pass one device round.
  • Refundable for 14 days from the pack's page, on the terms in our Terms.

Afterwards: the book

Whatever you seal at the end of a game — a toast, a piece of advice, a prediction — goes into your group's Almanac. From Another Trip Round the Sun's page you can then order the book of it: a 6 × 9 inch hardcover or a PDF made only from what was sealed in this pack's games. The book is bought separately.

Good to know

The games play on one screen; everyone else can join on their phones. Ages 10 and up.
