College Mad House. College romp movies were all the rage in the 80s so why not play a game involving duel college sororities or fraternities. Spilt the party guests in two teams, more if needed, and give each team a team name and the faux sorority or fraternity they represent. The two teams compete in a series of challenges such as crab walk relay races, balloons fights and other messy challenges. Each round won earns the teams a point. The final round can be played with a series of general knowledge questions. Give the teams bells and see who emerges the College Mad House winner. When the party games are over the team that wins the competition gets the honor of throwing pies filled with shaving cream in the faces of the losers.

Blackout to Play: This fun game is comprised of a competition between two opposing teams that pit two players from each team against each other. Teams are given a phrase with four missing words. One member of the team had to describe each missing word for the other to guess. The opposing team is allowed to black out so many seconds of the complete description prior to the other person on the team hearing it. In order to do this, each team can only receive one blackout per round. The opposing team says blackout and the played describing the word must stop talking for 5 seconds or so. If the teammate cannot guess the word, the other team gets an opportunity to guess. The first team to complete two of the phrases win or extend the game for even more fun.

Puzzlewits: Puzzlewits is a game that is played using a very large crossword puzzle that looks like a crossword puzzle board. This giant puzzle board can be made from a large chalk board. Split the party guests into two teams, each made up of three contestants to solve the puzzle. Teams earned points for every letter of each word they guessed correctly.

Bottle Bowling: This is a great game to play at an 80s party the players must roll a ball toward a group of soda bottles much like the game of regular bowling. To increase the fun at the game add incentives and rewards for various levels of achievement such as the most pins, spares and strikes.

Give each player one attempt to knock down a spare, the numbers they knock down they earn a party favor with that number.
