Birthday party ideas

Some ideas for an original and fun birthday. Here's lots of things to do on your birthday.

Who knows how many times you’ve found yourself at a birthday party and seen that classic awkward situation where people arrive and feel awkward, uncomfortable.
Everyone stares at their phone screen and grabs a drink or food, just so they don’t have to stand there staring blankly. Now imagine being the host of that party, or worse yet, being the birthday boy!

If you’re going to be planning a birthday, yours or some friend’s or family member’s, you don’t want to be in that situation. Well, we have selected for you many ideas for a birthday really out of the ordinary, with which you can entertain and amuse all the people present. Many of these ideas are generally sold online at a cost ranging from €15 to €30, but on this page we have chosen only free experiences for you.

Birthday treasure hunt, ready to print (interactive).

An activity that groups of friends as well as parents and children can have fun with, the treasure hunt is a great way to spend a birthday party and keep everyone entertained. To make it as original as possible you can customize it to the situation and the people playing it. The more people who participate, the more fun it will be and the harder it will be to win the final prize, consisting, for example, of sweets or small gifts.

Below you can choose a free, ready-to-print treasure hunt to play wherever you are.

Escape room online. Have fun at home solving mysteries never revealed from the comfort of the couch.

Since a few years ago we have all heard about, at least once, the Escape Rooms, real game experiences to achieve the same goal: get out of the room by collecting clues and solving puzzles and brain teasers. From the real escape room puzzles, which transport you into surreal and fantastic worlds, we have arrived at online escape rooms: virtual escape room games where interactivity and multimedia are the main features. Games in which you need to use your wits to solve the chosen adventure.

Supernatural and mystery can become the right ingredients to have fun during a home birthday party. Below we have selected some free online escape room experiences.

Indoor or outdoor group games. Some ideas for a family or group birthday party with lots of friends.

Celebrating a birthday can be the perfect opportunity to have fun with friends in the name of play. An idea suitable for families and children or even groups of friends.

Divided into teams, complete with punishments for those who get it wrong, participants immerse themselves in games that test their skills.

Below is a selection of free group games that you can pass the time with during the party. For each game you can have fun inventing new details or coming up with personalized “punishments” for each participant.
