          Competitive and Fun Hen Party Games

          Creative and competitive hen party game ideas for a night of laughter and friendly rivalry.

          1. Find the Wedding Rings

          Here is a competitive hen do party game idea – hide novelty rings (or Haribo sweets!) around your venue. The hens must search for them, with prizes for the winners or forfeits for the losers. It’s a light-hearted game that works best in self-catering accommodation. It’s a perfect hen party game if you’re hosting the hen party at home.


          1. Toilet Roll Hens

          Split into teams and compete to create the most glamorous “wedding dress” using only 4 toilet rolls and tape. Award points for creativity, speed, and resemblance to the bride’s actual gown (if she’s revealed it!) The Bride can judge the “best dress” and award a prize to the winning team. This is a great hen party ice breaker game, especially if some of the guests don’t know the others. It’s also the perfect game for all ages!


          1. Taboo Words

          At the start of the weekend, agree on a list of words no one can say (e.g., the groom’s name or “wedding”). If someone slips up, they must perform a forfeit like a dare. Turn it into a hen party drinking game by taking a shot or a sip of a drink as the forfeit. Alternatively, you can have a bucket of wooden mini-pegs and if someone says the Taboo words, they get a peg on their outfit for each word. The one with the most pegs at the end of the day must do a forfeit!

          Example Taboo Words:

          • Fiance’s name
          • Brides name
          • Honeymoon destination
          • Ring

          1. Hen Taboo

          A hen party game with a twist on the classic game! On each card, write a word along with five related terms that can’t be used and players must describe the word without mentioning the taboo terms.

          Example Taboo Words:

          • Wedding Ring: Gold, finger, propose, circle, engaged
          • Bouquet: Flowers, catch, throw, decorate, engaged
          • Tuxedo: Suit, best man, groom, dressed, clothes
          • Love Birds: Couple, tweet, wings, heart, fly
          • Bridezilla: Film/movie, dinosaur, veil, wedding, angry

          1. Pin the Trunk on the Hunk

          This cheeky twist on Pin the Tail on the Donkey involves pinning a “trunk” onto a hunky picture chosen by the bride. Decide how raunchy you want the main hen party game to be!


          1. Hen Bingo

          Prior to the weekend, create a list of challenges in a 3×3 grid that will have the girls running around like headless hens – the first to tick off 3 in a row wins! You can extend the game by making a 5×5 grid or have different challenges on each persons card.

          Example bingo challenges:

          • Get a group photo of everyone in the hen party
          • Find someone with the same name as the groom
          • Find a coin from the year that the bride was born
          • Talk to a stranger with a fake accent
          • Get a free drink from the bar

          1. Sculpt the Hunk

          Let’s get creative with this hen do party game idea – use Play-Doh to sculpt the bride’s favourite celebrity crushes. Teams take turns guessing who the sculpture represents before time runs out. From famous actors to pop stars, this hen party game will have everyone in stitches as they try to guess the often-abstract creations.


          1. Guess the Bum

          Put your celeb-spotting skills to the test with this hilarious game! Compile photos of famous bottoms and challenge the hens to guess which celebrity they belong to. Take it up a notch by sneaking in cheeky snaps of the groom and his groomsmen for an extra giggle-worthy twist. It’s a playful and slightly mischievous hen do party game that guarantees a fun start to the party!


          1. Porn or Polish

          Bring on the laughs with this cheeky hen do guessing game! One by one, read out a mix of names—some from nail polish shades and others from adult films—and let the hens decide which is which. From hilariously suggestive titles to deceptively innocent-sounding ones, this game is quick, playful, and full of surprises.


          1. Scavenger Hunt

          Similar to Hen Bingo, the scavenger hunt will have the hens running around looking for random items. These can be items that relate to the brides life or it can be random tat, it’s completely up to you! Obviously, prizes for the winner and forfeits for the losers.

          Example scavenger hunt items:

          • A veil
          • A photo with another bride-to-be
          • A piece of clothing from a stranger
          • A ring of some sort
          • A bouquet of flowers

          “The bride once walked into a ______ and broke her nose.”


          1. Who’s Who?

          Have each hen write down a memory with the bride; shuffle and read them aloud while everyone guesses who wrote which memory. It’s a sentimental way to celebrate the bride’s friendships.


          1. Real or Fake?

          Each hen shares a statement, which the group must decide is true or false. You can add a twist by focusing on shared memories with the bride-to-be and turn it into a fun hen party drinking game by taking a sip of a drink if they’ve got it wrong! For those who are not having a boozy drink, they can forfeit and do a dare instead.


          1. Dirty Little Secret

          Get ready for a hen party game that’s equal parts revealing and hilarious! Each hen writes down a juicy or funny secret and drops it into a pot. Take turns pulling them out, reading them aloud, and guessing who the secret belongs to—prepare for surprising twists and shocking revelations! For added fun, award points for correct guesses or have the group vote on the juiciest secret of the night.


          1. Never Have I Ever

          A classic hen party drinking game where everyone takes turns sharing things they’ve never done; if anyone in the group has done it, they then have to have a drink. It’s a hilarious game that will have the group learning a thing or two about some of the more adventurous members of the party.
