Berserk Games’ Ultimate Guide to Hosting a Memorable Friends’ Night In

Include snacks, drinks, playlist ideas, and your card games as the centerpiece.

Let’s be honest: not every great night requires leaving the house. Sometimes the most unforgettable hangouts happen right at home — comfy clothes, favorite snacks, good friends, and a few well-chosen games to keep the laughs going.

If you’re looking to host a friends’ night in that people actually want to repeat, Berserk Games has your back. Here’s our no-fail formula to turn a simple get-together into a night of hilarious memories.

🎴 Step 1: Build the Night Around a Game (or Two)

At the heart of any great night in? A game that gets everyone talking, laughing, and maybe exposing a few secrets along the way.

🃏 Our Top Picks for Friends’ Night In:

• Girls Night In: Ultimate card game for playful dares, cheeky questions, and laugh-out-loud moments.

• Date Night Cards: Not just for couples! Some of these questions and prompts are perfect for sparking conversations with friends.

• Berserk Party Collection: Whatever the vibe — chill, competitive, or a little wild — we’ve got a deck for it.

  
  

Why it works: Our games break the ice fast, get everyone involved, and create the kind of moments people talk about long after the night’s over.

🍿 Step 2: Set the Mood with Snacks & Drinks

Forget the formal sit-down dinner. A laid-back snack table is all you need to fuel the fun.

Snack Ideas:

• Popcorn (bonus points for flavored varieties)

• Chips, dips, and guac

• Candy and chocolate bowls

• Finger foods: sliders, wings, or pizza rolls

  
  

Drink Ideas:

• DIY cocktail bar (or mocktail station)

• Sangria pitchers

• Fun sodas or sparkling water with fresh fruit

• A classic wine & cheese pairing if you’re feeling a little bougie

The goal: Easy-to-grab snacks that don’t interrupt the flow of the game.

🎶 Step 3: Curate the Perfect Playlist

Music sets the tone — even in the background. You want something that keeps energy high without competing with conversation.

Playlist Vibes:

• Upbeat throwbacks (90s/2000s pop hits are undefeated)

• Chill indie pop for low-key nights

• Party playlists on Spotify: “Good Vibes,” “Feel-Good Indie,” or “Card Game & Chill”

Tip: Keep it light, fun, and background-friendly. Your friends and your card game are the real stars.

🛋️ Step 4: Create the Right Space

You don’t need to redecorate, but setting up the right vibe matters.

• Clear a table or comfy floor space for gameplay.

• Have extra pillows or blankets for casual lounging.

• Dim the lights a bit. Candles? Optional but encouraged.

• Make sure there’s room for snacks, drinks, and the all-important card deck.

  
  

🤝 Step 5: Keep the Energy Moving

Start light, build momentum. Kick things off with a chill game or warm-up round before diving into the more outrageous cards. Rotate games if the energy shifts — or if your guests demand “just one more round.”
