80s Party Games
Our favorite 80s party game is Pin the Glove on Michael. You will need a Michael Jackson poster; these can be had off of ebay for between $6.00-$20.00. This 80s party game does require a little creativity to create the sequined glove for pinning, but the result is worth the work. We recommend cutting out a glove from a sheet of poster board and then gluing silver sequins or glitter all over it. 80s trivia games are a great way to kick off an 80s party. Trivial Pursuit now has an 80s edition and it is perfect for a group game. You can divide into teams and duke it out 80s style. Buy the game here: Trivial Pursuit: Totally 80s. You can also buy the I Love the 80s board game developed by VH1. Be sure to have some great 80s-themed prizes on hand for the winners. You can use the 80s party ideas shown on the favors section of this site for some prize ideas. Contact us to let us know what other 80s party games you have tried.
