Big groups
50 people and up
Games that still work when there are eighty people in the room. Most party games quietly assume twenty, and they fall apart at scale — either everyone queues for a turn, or the back half of the room cannot see what is happening. These are the ones built for teams rather than individuals, where everybody is playing at the same time and the rules can be shouted once and understood.

Common questions
What games work for 100 people?
Bring Me, Longest Line and Hep Hep Hooray. All three scale indefinitely because everyone plays simultaneously in teams rather than taking turns.
