Graduation Party Games That’ll Make Your Grad Night Iconic
Graduation season is coming in hot, and whether you're celebrating a high school sendoff or a college cap toss, you need activities that keep the party vibe alive. Forget awkward small talk—these graduation party games bring out memories, laughs, and maybe even a little chaos (the good kind).
We’ve pulled together a fire list of games using classics, creative spins, and a must-have party app (hello Boomit). Let’s get into it.
1. Grad Roast or Toast
Let guests draw a name and either roast or toast that person. Whether it's a heartfelt compliment or a hilarious inside joke, everyone gets their moment. It’s low effort, high laughs, and super personal.
2. Photo Booth Scavenger Hunt
Set up a DIY photo booth with props, then give everyone a list of quirky photo challenges like:
- Take a pic with someone you just met
- Recreate a cringe middle school yearbook pose
- Snap a selfie doing your best grad cap toss
Not only do you get golden content for IG, but it keeps everyone mingling and moving.
3. Boomit (Download This Game, Like Now)
What is Boomit? Think of it as your party’s hype machine. Boomit is the ultimate app for party games that spark chaos, storytelling, and a lot of yelling across the room (in a fun way). You’ll find spicy prompts like:
- “Most likely to marry their high school crush”
- “Least likely to move out before 30”
Perfect for friend groups who know too much about each other. Download it, pass the phone around, and let the games begin.
4. Grad Guess Who
Before the party, have everyone send in a baby photo and a random fun fact. Tape the pics on a board and have guests match the baby face with the person and their fact. Cue the “awws” and surprised gasps—this one’s always a hit.
5. Minute-To-Win-It Showdown
Set up fast-paced, ridiculous challenges with common stuff like:
- Stack 5 solo cups using only one hand
- Bounce a ping pong ball into a cup from 3 feet away
- Wrap your “diploma” (aka a paper towel roll) in TP the fastest
It’s chaotic. It’s competitive. It’s graduation games gold.
6. “Are You Smarter Than the Graduate?” Trivia
Craft a quiz full of inside jokes, pop culture, school memories, and maybe some actual trivia. Divide the room into “Grads” vs. “Boomers” (or just “Guests”) and keep score on a whiteboard. Add a prize for ultimate bragging rights.
7. The Yearbook Roast Wall
Set up a big “graffiti” wall or butcher paper. People can write superlatives or roasts like:
- “Most likely to nap during Zoom meetings”
- “Most dramatic promposal”
It’s part photo booth backdrop, part joke board, and 100% a vibe.
8. Balloon Pop Confessions
Slip dares, trivia, or "truth or drink" questions into balloons before inflating them. Guests pop a balloon and must do what’s inside. Ideas include:
- “Tell your cringiest first day of school memory”
- “Text your crush a cheesy grad pickup line”
You never know what’ll happen next.
9. Future Prediction Time Capsule
Leave a box and some blank cards where people can write where they think the grad(s) will be in 10 years. Open it at your 10-year reunion (or next brunch if patience isn’t your thing).
Wrap-Up
Graduation party games don’t have to be cheesy or awkward. With a little planning—and the right mix of heartfelt, hilarious, and downright unhinged—you’ll throw a party no one forgets. Whether you go full DIY or lean on apps like Boomit, the goal’s the same: celebrate the journey and send it off right.
