Galentines Games
Galentine’s Day is basically Valentine’s Day… but better!
No pressure, no awkward restaurant bookings, no heart-shaped chocolates you don’t actually like. Just your favorite girls, comfy clothes (or glam outfits if that’s your thing), good food, and a lot of laughter.
Whether you’re hosting a cozy night in, a themed brunch, or a full-on party with matching pajamas and signature cocktails, the right Galentine’s games can turn a fun night into a memorable one. These games are perfect for breaking the ice, encouraging laughs, and creating those special moments.
I have put together a mix of easy party games, hilarious icebreakers, low-prep activities, and slightly competitive challenges, all designed with modern Galentine’s celebrations in mind. No cringey stuff. Just fun.
Why Games Are Perfect for Galentine’s Day
Let’s be honest, getting a group of women together doesn’t require games. We can happily talk for hours. But games help:
- Break the ice when friends from different circles mix
- Shift the energy when the food coma hits
- Create laughter without forced conversation
- Give structure to the night (especially for hosts!)
And the best part? Galentine’s games don’t have to be complicated. The best ones are easy to explain, quick to play, and flexible enough that people can jump in and out.
Icebreaker Galentine’s Games (Perfect for the Start of the Night)
These are ideal while people are arriving, pouring drinks, and getting settled.
1. How Well Do You Know the Girls?
Before the party, ask each guest to answer 3–5 fun questions (favorite movie, dream vacation, guilty pleasure snack, celebrity crush). During the game, read out the answers and have everyone guess who it belongs to.
Why it works:
- Easy
- Personal without being awkward
- Sparks instant conversation
2. Two Truths and a Lie – Galentine’s Edition
A classic for a reason. Each person shares two true statements and one lie. Everyone guesses which is fake.
To keep it fun and fresh, suggest prompts like:
- Dating stories
- Travel mishaps
- Embarrassing moments
- Work-from-home confessions
3. Pink Flag or Red Flag?
Read out relationship, friendship, or “dating app bio” scenarios. Guests vote whether it’s a pink flag (cute/acceptable) or a red flag (run).
Examples:
- “Still uses Snapchat filters on every selfie”
- “Brings their dog everywhere”
- “Has a vision board”
This one always gets opinions, and laughs.

5. Who’s Most Likely To… (Friends Edition)

- Most likely to plan a girls’ trip
Everyone points to the person they think fits best. Expect lots of “Hey!” and laughing defenses.
6. Never Have I Ever – Galentine’s Style
Keep it light and fun, not uncomfortable. This version works best with silly or relatable prompts.
Examples:

8. Guess the Love Song
Play short clips of love songs, breakup anthems, or iconic girl-power tracks. Guests guess the song or artist.

This one always turns sentimental, in the best way.
Tips for Hosting the Best Galentine’s Game Night
A few simple tips can make your night run smoothly:
- Don’t overplan. Pick 4–6 games max.
- Keep rules simple. If you need a long explanation, skip it.
- Let people opt out. Some guests prefer watching, and that’s okay.
- Have small prizes. Candy, candles, face masks, or funny trophies.
- Read the room. Switch games if energy drops.
Remember: the goal isn’t to “win”, it’s to laugh.
Final Thoughts: Make Galentine’s About Connection
At its heart, Galentine’s Day is about celebrating friendship, the women who show up, cheer you on, and know exactly what you mean when you say, “You won’t believe what happened…”
Games are just the excuse to laugh harder, talk longer, and create memories that stick.
Whether your Galentine’s night is loud and chaotic or cozy and calm, the right games will bring everyone together, and that’s what makes it special.
So grab the snacks, pour the drinks, cue the playlist, and let the games begin.
