Slip It In
Slip a phrase into conversation naturally. If no one calls you out for 10 seconds, your team earns +$1,000. If you are caught, -$1,000. Each player may only bank two successful slip-ins for the whole night.
Cashout 1 — $8,000 per game
Tapple
Everyone plays. Each round uses one category card. Play is elimination: take turns naming something in that category starting with the next letter on the wheel; tap the timer before your turn runs out. Whichever team has the last player standing wins a point for that round. Run five rounds — team with the most round points wins the match.
Heads Up
Hold the phone to your forehead. Teammates give clues without saying the answer; tilt down for a correct guess, tilt up to pass. Most correct answers before time expires wins.
Cashout 2 — $12,000 per game
UNO
Standard UNO rules. All members of both teams play across three full games. Each game, if anyone on your team wins, your team earns a point for that game — only one person from your side needs to win, so helping each other is encouraged. Best team score across the three games wins the match.
5 Second Rule
Name three things in the named category in five seconds. Play is scored as a point system using streaks. Your team may bank up to three successful streaks in a row before you must pass the turn to the other team; then they take their turn under the same rule.
Cashout 3 — $22,000 per game
Charades
Act out the prompts without speaking or mouthing words. Your team guesses; most points within the round time wins.
Monikers
Three rounds: describe freely, then one word only, then charades only. Guess the name on the card to score; most points when the deck or timer ends wins.
Final Round
- Top 2 teams by total money advance
- Final is a 1v1 trivia game
- Winner of the final is the Game Night Champion
Trivia showdown
Head-to-head trivia. No help from the rest of the team unless the host says otherwise. Highest score wins and is crowned Game Night Champion.
