Looking for Christmas party games?

Christmas is coming! And that means it’s time to get together with friends and family and start enjoying the holiday season together! But there’s a problem—mass gatherings tend to have a rift between age groups.

That’s why these 26 party games will help bring everyone together!

And if you can’t join the events, no worries! Here are seven free games you can play after the festivities are done.

Five game insights we think you’ll love!

Do you know of the Grinch? Well, he now stars in a game of his own! Players of new and old can now take control of the Grinch in his quest to steal Christmas and… what next? That’s for you to find out in this classic tale of Christmas cheer and redemption.

Do you like puzzles and dice? Well, there was a rather obscure game that dealt with both—Devil Dice.

Ever wonder what it feels like to step inside the mind of a solo game developer? Here’s the developer journal of Six Foot Three Foot—a New Zealand-based indie dev that focuses mostly on card and retro games for a mobile platform. Every developer has to start somewhere, and reading about his journey may inspire you in different ways, regardless if you plan to be a game developer or not!

We all know that most kids and teens are playing some kind of game. It can be social games like Farmville (and trust us, even adults went crazy over it), or roleplaying ones like Final Fantasy or Warhammer. Since individuals who are under the K-12 curriculum are playing lots of games, there has been a study on the benefits of video games on K-12 students.

While the gaming industry is a very profitable one, some passionate developers create games just for the experience itself and allow others to be a part of it without any payment.

One good example of this is Xordle, where the creator treats the game as a gift to its users and offers it for free for everyone to play.
