TLDR; What are some good party games that encourage getting to know each other and are not centered around drinking?

A year ago I had a great party. I split all participants (maybe 16 people) into 4 teams and made a 3 game tournament which was very appreciated. This year I am hoping to replicate the good vibe we had, but I want new games.

I am now asking you; What are some good party games?

Criterias:

  • Low or no amount of randomness (to keep things competitive)
  • Reasonably easy to acquire the materials for
  • Possible to do as a team
  • Encourages interaction, either within the team, between teams or both
  • Should not be centered around drinking

      I googled your comment and found the game Monikers which I'd never heard of. I honestly think the DIY version must be better, since there's always someone who's responsible for the name. That makes it so much better as a bonding experience! It's also good across cultures because the people from culture a will know the answers from culture a and the same for culture b, c etc. and it then becomes a natural exchange

        I agree there are benefits to the diy version. Most published party games are based off some home version that's long existed already. And on that note, most party games can be recreated as home versions without buying the experience.
