Yeah I walk past Flight Club every day. Sadly my team are not likely to be up for such adventures. I’ll be lucky to not be the only one blind drunk by the end.
C & S word association game with shots, not allowed to say a word beginning with c or s or you do a shot, you get absolutely bolloxed and some people are proper shit at it.
Would anyone that has a career in HR be able to say what level of responsibility a party organiser has regarding anything that might happen ata work party if people have got 'completely bolloxed'? Where I am we had a summer party where there was a bit of an incident, nothing too serious but still took a couple of weeks to sort out. Frankly I'd be wary of anything that could lead to a claim. Si. is an employer/manager responsible for what happens at midnight at the end of a works party?
As for all these games, god no. Buy people a nice meal to say thank you for working well and let them get on with it. I would hate to be forced into playing games that talk about what has happened at work, personal stuff. Good luck with the party.
I agree that just going out and chatting and drinking is best, but as you are lumbered with it, how about "Two truths and a lie"? You have to let people know it's going to happen in advance so they can think of a couple of interesting things they have done, seen etc and to think up a feasible lie to go with them. They then make the three statements EG "I once met Bill Clinton, I once punched Ade Edmonson's lights out, I once saw Charlton Athletic beat Millwall" and everyone else has to suss out the lie.

Good idea
BTW what made you come out with three such unbelievable choices? : - )
A lot of people are filled with abject terror just at the thought of it yet are frightened to say so either because of being thought miserable or general office politics.

It's being so cheerful what keeps him going...
Not a Scrooge generally but the sheer hypocrisy of pretending to be friends with people that have spent the rest of the year undermining and or slagging off each other sticks in the craw I'm afraid.

You've lost me Henry. Not on the ball today.
What is SMT? 12 is the time of this post otherwise puzzled by that too.
EDIT: Just twigged re SMT and 12 is the number of chips with the turkey

This. My manager isn’t happy because I am refusing to attend the “team’s” Xmas meal. Told her that I don’t like most of the people, so why would I want to shell out to have a mince pie and a bit of turkey with them ? Load of hypocritical old pony. Bah.

Why would you need to contrive anything more?
If people want games they'll come up with stuff themselves.

But I can't remember what 12 is!
