Here’s a roundup of deliciously entertaining chocolate games to get your team laughing, bonding, and breaking the ice.
1. Chocolate Coin Toss
Setup: Hand out a stack of chocolate coins to each participant.
Gameplay: Players take turns tossing their chocolate coins into a jar or designated target from a set distance. The player who manages to land the most coins in the target area is the winner.
Twist: Add extra challenge by creating different point zones on the target or imposing a penalty for missed attempts. This twist keeps the game lively and engaging!
2. After Dinner Mint Thin Flip
Setup: Provide each player with a stack of chocolate mint thins.
Gameplay: Place a mint thin at the edge of the table and use the back of your fingertips to flick it into the air, attempting to catch it with the same hand. Award points for successful catches, and extra points for style!
Twist: Swap mint thins for chocolate coins to increase the difficulty. Flicking and catching chocolate coins will test reflexes and create more memorable moments.
3. Chocolate Mint Face Race Challenge
Setup: Supply players with chocolate mint thins.
Gameplay: Players must move a chocolate thin from their forehead to their mouth using only their facial muscles. It’s a fun and messy challenge that’s sure to get everyone laughing.
Twist: Increase the difficulty by requiring players to move two chocolates at once. This added challenge makes the game even more entertaining.
4. Chocolate Coin Elbow Snatch
Setup: Provide each player with a stack of chocolate coins.
Gameplay: Balance a chocolate coin on your elbow, then bring your hand up to your ear and, with a quick downward swing, try to catch the coin in your hand. The more coins you snatch in one go, the closer you are to victory!
Twist: Use your non-dominant hand for an extra challenge. This twist adds a fun element of surprise and tests coordination in a new way.
5. Chocolate Pictionary
Setup: Prepare slips of paper with various chocolate-related words or phrases (e.g., chocolate fondue, cocoa bean, truffle).
Gameplay: One player draws a slip and must illustrate the word or phrase on a board without using letters or numbers. The other players or their team must guess what it is within a set time limit.
Twist: Incorporate complex chocolate techniques or exotic desserts into the mix to make the game more challenging and educational.
6. Suck It Up
Setup: Provide paper straws (one per player), chocolate honeycomb balls or buttons, bowls for each player, and a central plate.
Gameplay: Using their paper straws, players must suck up chocolate buttons and deposit them into their bowls. The player with the most buttons at the end wins.
Twist: Add variety by using different-sized chocolate pieces. This twist will test precision and add an extra layer of fun.
7. Shove Chocolate Coin
Setup: A bag of chocolate coins is needed.
Gameplay: Rest a chocolate coin so it overhangs the edge of the table. Using the palm of your hand, ‘shove’ the coin into a marked target area. This game is a chocolatey twist on traditional games like bowls or curling!
Twist: Adjust the distance to the target or introduce obstacles to increase the challenge. This will make the game more competitive and engaging.
8. Chocolate Charades
Setup: Write down chocolate-related actions, flavours, or scenarios on slips of paper (e.g., “Making hot chocolate,” “Eating a chocolate truffle”).
Gameplay: Players take turns drawing a slip and acting out the scenario without speaking, while the others guess what it is.
The player with the most correct guesses wins.
Twist: Include some unusual or humorous chocolate scenarios to keep the game lively and entertaining.
