Have a nice time in a fun company of friends by organizing an unusual championship. Games are important not only for kids, but also for adults, because they can unite us even more. In addition, this is a great way to help new friends join the team, rather than stand alone against the wall all evening. We have selected 10 popular games that will allow you to have a good time. In our article you will find a variety of entertainment that trains the mind and develops the flexibility of the body.
When it comes to games for a large company, many people first of all remember “Mafia,” which conquered the whole world and gained many fans. To play intellectual detective, you will need a deck of special cards, which you can purchase on the Internet or draw yourself. You can also create your own map templates and order their printing in any edition. Well, if the above options do not suit you, take the most ordinary cards and agree with your friends what roles you will give them. For example: spades - Mafia, ace of spades - Mafia Boss, jack of hearts - Doctor, king of hearts - Commissioner and so on. To prevent players from spying on each other, it is advisable to wear masks or headbands as soon as the city falls asleep.
The essence of the game
There are three sides in the game: Mafia, Civilians and Maniac. The goal of the mafioso is to kill players at night and execute them during the day, posing as good heroes. The goal of the Citizens is to find and execute the Mafia. A maniac is a willful person who kills everyone indiscriminately.
Characters
The classic version has active and passive characters. The leader is a passive character who does not influence the course of the game, but coordinates the actions of all its participants.
Evil characters: Mafia (consists of the Boss and his henchmen), Maniac.
Good characters: Commissioner, Doctor, Peaceful Citizens.
Peaceful Citizens are passive players: they sleep at night, but can vote during the day, sending those they dislike to death.
The mafia wakes up at night.
The Mafia Boss chooses the victim to be hit. If the Boss dies, another mafioso takes over his post.
The maniac strikes any player at night.
The commissioner can check any player at night. If the Mafia or Maniac came to this player, the Commissioner's check scares away the criminals, saving the player's life.
The Doctor also makes his move at night and can cure anyone (one player), canceling the killing move of the Mafia or Maniac.
Progress of the game
The game is divided into intervals - day and night. On the first day, the Host distributes cards to the players, after which the first night begins. On the first night (at the Leader’s command), the players wake up in turn, letting him know who has what role. The Mafia gets to know each other and finds out who got the role of Boss. All players wake up during the day. The presenter briefly describes the events of the past night. For example: “The Mafia struck, but the Commissioner’s visit scared off the bandits. The maniac brutally mocked his next victim all night, but the Doctor managed to save the poor fellow.” These clues allow players to figure out their opponent. This is followed by a vote, during which each player can propose a candidate for execution. By carefully studying the arguments and suspects, it is possible to identify the mafiosi, since they are usually unanimous in the day's voting. However, clever players know how to show off, accusing each other during the day (but only if a teammate is clearly not in danger of execution). After the execution, the card of the murdered person is revealed and everyone sees his role. Then night falls on the city and the active players make their move again. The game ends with the victory of the Peaceful if all Mafs and Maniacs are killed. The mafia wins when it remains in the majority. With a successful combination of circumstances, Maniac can win, being left alone with a passive player.In addition to the classic plot, there are many different game options. We advise you to choose the most creative friend with an excellent sense of humor for the role of Host. In your competitions, you can use references to various books and films. For example, a story about vampires and werewolves has become popular, where Count Dracula plays the role of the Boss, Dr. Frankenstein cures illnesses, and the Commissioner turns into Helsing or Buffy. The more friends you have, the more characters you can introduce into the game, making it even more fun!

“Literball” is an adult game in the style of “who can outdrink who.” Historians claim that its various analogues have existed from time immemorial in all corners of the planet. Those wishing to measure their ability to outdrink their opponents appeared as soon as mankind invented alcoholic drinks. They say that the ancient Greeks and Peter I especially liked such games. In the CIS countries, the so-called. “Drunk checkers”, in which instead of white and black checkers they use glasses with vodka and cognac or glasses with light and dark beer. As soon as you “eat” your opponent’s checker, you need to drink the contents of this glass and remove it from the board. More advanced players prefer Drunken Chess. For the game, silhouettes of chess pieces are drawn on the glasses with a marker.

If the ball lands in a glass, the player who hits drinks beer from this glass, removes the empty glass from the table and gets the right to throw again. The team with the most accuracy, having emptied all the opponent's glasses, wins.Attention: students' favorite pastime can lead to alcohol poisoning. We advise you to take smaller glasses, so that later you won’t be excruciatingly painful for your aimlessly killed liver.

The strongest survives and wins, it is interesting to find out which of the three will become the most dexterous and intelligent.

When gangsters are seriously angry and defend their interests, it is better to concentrate and make every effort to win.

They use not grenades and pistols, but cakes, sweets and all kinds of desserts. Or the fight will take place on the podium for the highest jury scores. You can play the role of cartoon characters, for example, Disney's Mickey Mouse and his friends. They will take up pillows for a fight and throw various objects at each other, of course this is harmless, but very fun.

But when the conditions outside are unfavorable, and at some point you can’t make any noise at all at home, and then guests have arrived, then virtual entertainment for a large company will be the best option. Both boys and girls of different ages will find in this section the most exciting and fun flash drives for a pleasant pastime.
Call your friends now
Previously, some fifteen to twenty years ago, collective virtual games seemed like something unrealistic. Those who had consoles and consoles were lucky; these devices really allowed you to invite friends to your place and have a competition, be it a fight or a race. But there were a minority of them, and many children had fun on the street: they had stick fights, ran around the courtyards, explored abandoned buildings, dug in sandboxes and did not get off the horizontal bars. Even today, such traditional children’s fun cannot be replaced by anything, because technology has not yet learned to fully replace real communication and is unlikely to ever learn to do so.
But outdoor entertainment has one significant drawback - everything can go wrong if you are unlucky with the weather. Heavy rain, wind, hail, snowstorm and minus thirty on the street thermometer can easily cut short all plans related to playing in the yard. But sitting at home is a rather boring idea, and you can’t invite your friends home - what will you do? Watch TV, collect boring puzzles? For children overflowing with energy, these are not the best options. They want to let off steam, run, jump, shoot water pistols, pretend to be decorated Indians or menacing monsters, but they are forced to sit in a corner and be quiet. Not good!
Today the situation is different, you can invite one or two friends to visit you, inviting them to play some virtual toy together, be it a shooter, a race, a construction site, an action game or a runner. To do this, you don’t need to prepare anything special, all you need is a PC and the desire to have fun. The most difficult thing, perhaps, is to choose a game that suits everyone and has a mode for three people. Most often, the three-player mode is found in shooting games and racing games, followed by survival simulators and battles with monsters. Runners take third place, if you search, you will find many more options and you can have fun with friends without turning your apartment into ruins.
Under the cover of comrades
So, the most popular games for three are all kinds of shooters, racing competitions, runners, fights, and there are also other genres such as simulators, puzzles, action games and adventures. However, the genre for three today can be found in literally every genre, not like before. In some games you can complete tasks in splendid isolation, while in others you can’t do without a friendly shoulder. First you need to decide whether you need the help of your comrades or not. If, for example, you chose a war game where there is everything: tanks, planes, explosions, battles with an army of opponents, and you can be captured and lose your head, then without friends it will really be difficult. They will support and cover, but you must respond to them in the same way, and not flee from the battlefield. If tanks are coming at you, then your comrades will come in handy here as never before.
There are also virtual entertainments in which you can find yourself on different sides of the barricades. For example, there is a simulator in which everyone will have a tank, and the task is to destroy opponents and survive yourself. The difficulty is that this is not happening in an open field, but in a labyrinth, and shells sent from the muzzle can easily return and crush your tank.
In runners, friends can also act as both allies and rivals. Each player will have a character to control and strive to reach the finish line. The same principle applies to racing: get behind the wheel of a car and race, try to leave your rival friends far behind, because only one will win. And surely you wouldn’t mind being that winner?
The three-person mode provides convenient control. The options may be different, but the most common proposal is that two people operate the keyboard (arrows and letters), and the third operates the mouse. The winner receives various rewards: points, power-ups, bonuses. If you do not compete, but act together, then everyone will be rewarded.
Three sounds menacing
As you probably know, there are millions of games in the virtual world for every taste. They all belong to some genre, and most often to several at once. Take, for example, a plot in which you control a hero and move around locations in search of interesting and useful objects, and also skillfully cope with traps and tasks. Here you will find an adventure game, a puzzle, and quest elements. And in many apocalypse simulators, you can simultaneously shoot from a variety of weapons and drive through the deserts in a dilapidated SUV, fighting off the dead. Many genres have been invented, the most popular are racing, shooting, puzzles, simulators, quests, adventure games, fights, coloring books, dress up games. But there are many others, less known: adventures, action games, arcades, strategies, RPGs, all kinds of games with balls, numbers, superheroes, animals, princesses and fairies. Many of them are designed to be completed alone. Like, rely only on yourself and win at any cost. But what to do if the plot is so complex and dynamic that two hands, a pair of eyes and one head are not enough? Then you need to look for games that have a multiplayer mode, that is, the ability to invite a friend or even two to join you and help.
You will not play online, but using one keyboard. Some keys are allocated for control, for example, arrows or letters, and a third one can operate the mouse. This is how all three can show what they are capable of. Most often, the three-player mode can be found in racing, shooting games, and military simulators. There you can compete with your comrades at all costs: race cars, shoot from a variety of weapons, fight, seize other people's lands. Your comrades can be your allies and helpers, you can count on their help, your small squad will look menacing, and your opponents will think ten times before attacking or challenging you.
The three of us can not only fight or participate in racing competitions, but also try to survive in a post-apocaptic world, wandering across vast territories in search of food, water, and allies. You can explore space as brave astronauts, you can organize a fashion show and dress three girls at once, not just one, and then compare the results.
Comrades rush to help
Of course, multiplayer games will not completely replace you having fun with friends in real life. Running in the yard, kicking a ball, shooting with water pistols, waving sticks, building sand castles, rolling cars, just walking or sitting with a friendly group on a bench, flying a kite are incomparable fun that virtual characters and plots are still far from achieving. . But it’s one thing when it’s summer on the calendar and the sun is shining outside the window, then you can do whatever you want all day long. What if there are waist-deep snowdrifts, frost, cold snowflakes, and a blizzard outside? Or has the sky been covered with clouds and endless rain for several days now? Then you can only dream about a walk with friends. And here virtual fun for three comes to the rescue.
Just invite your friends over, figure out the controls and find a plot that suits everyone. Boys will probably enjoy simulators with zombies or insidious aliens, racing, football, shooting games, and traveling to other planets. And girls will be delighted with walks with ponies and princesses, fashionable dress-up games, farm or beauty salon simulators, and will also be happy to tinker with kids or animals. However, the division of games into girls' and boys' games is very arbitrary, because many girls can shoot just as excitedly as boys, and they, in turn, are interested in tinkering on the farm or caring for animals.
Why do you need friends when you can cope alone? Firstly, it’s more interesting with friends, these are not predictable robots, but real people, each of whom is unique and has their own opinion on everything. You can ask for help or advice, you can help your friends yourself, unite or start a war where everyone is for himself. And secondly, in some games you can’t do without a friendly shoulder, or better yet, two at once. Then, if you have friends covering and supporting you, you will complete tasks faster and earn more points.
Imagine a situation when your homework is done, the weather is nasty outside, and you decide to play a computer game. But after a few minutes you become bored because there is no one to share your emotions with. Then you invite a friend over and the two of you fight together, feeling the excitement. But then another friend of yours comes to you. What to do? You don't want to leave the virtual world at all. And it’s unnecessary, since we have excellent games for three, where everyone has a place at the keyboard and mouse. Now you can play with the whole group, and you will become like the three musketeers who always act together.
Let's fight, shoot, drive
- Three-player tank games are especially popular among boys.
Many people turn to this topic so often that they have become real aces of tank battles. Now it's time to test yourself by playing with real opponents. Agree on which combat vehicle will be controlled by who, and take action.
Your tanks will find themselves in different conditions in different games. This could be a hilly area, a field or a maze. This determines the tactics of your actions. Shots are fired one at a time; obstacles do not necessarily interfere - they can also serve as protection from an enemy volley. But when you find yourself in a labyrinth, you need to take into account one feature - when a fired projectile hits a wall, it ricochets and changes its trajectory. In search of his victim, he can even hit your tank. To avoid blowing yourself up, before firing, imagine where the fired rocket will fly.
- Don't miss the gang wars with gunfire either.
Gangsters from three groups are on the warpath to defend the interests of their bosses. They are not going to joke, because everyone has a machine gun in their hands, and they are determined to use it. You will have a tense battle between the three of you, and there will only be one winner.
- The girls' war is different from the boys' war.
These cute creatures use any objects as weapons. They throw cakes, sweets and fruits. They can throw a bat or a rocket at each other. An angry girl becomes a fury, and all because each of the three wants to be in charge.
- Animals also sort things out and throw various objects. There is a real mess all around - well, naturally, it’s not their place to clean up afterwards. But turtles act tough, and can even bite the enemy to death!
- Disney cartoon characters are not far behind. Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Pluto and other heroes staged real fights in the house with pillows, fruits and other things. They try to damage each other, but this is just a harmless game, an innocent prank.
- Three-player racing games are another type of popular game.
Everything is simple here - choose a car of any color, a track and start. Try to beat your rivals and win the competition. You can even resort to a prohibited maneuver and try to push other participants off the track. You can also help the monsters get to the finish line on a student desk using office supplies, or control a robot of the future that takes part in a race over a given distance.
Let's play with excitement and sportsmanship
- Three people in a sports arena.
The rules of the game for three on one computer allow the presence of three participants on the sports field at once. This is how sumo wrestlers try to push each other out of the field, and karatekas use a series of blows for this purpose.
- You can play games for three, rolling bowling balls or in the “Field of Miracles”, where you have to guess the breeds of dogs. This is both excitement and training of memory, dexterity, and intelligence.
