Guests, who's coming, how long you want to play — get a timed game lineup with the rules for every game, ready to print.
6 boards
Two teams guess the top answers to a Christmas question. The host reveals each answer; three strikes and the other team can steal.
You need: Printed board + answer covers, host card, scoreboard
two quizzes, 15 questions each
The host reads each question and its three options aloud; players or teams write their answer. One point per right answer.
You need: Answer sheet and pen per team
4 games — one line, Christmas tree shape, four corners, picture frame
The caller draws a picture card and shows it; players mark it. First to finish the pattern (one line, four corners, a Christmas tree…) shouts Bingo.

food, drinks, refill the prizes

Feud, Picture Bingo, Trivia, Left-Right and Scavenger Hunt — the full games. It has every game in this lineup, with boards, cards and host sheets.
No one publishes minutes per party game, so we counted them from our own printable games: the words a host reads aloud at 120 words a minute, plus a stated allowance for answering. They are estimates for a typical group — a loud family takes longer.
| Game | Time | Where the number comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Christmas Feud | 3 min per board (3–4) | Counted from all 100 boards: question and answers read at 120 words a minute, 20 s per guess, 1 min for the steal and scoring |
| Christmas Trivia | 8.5 min per 15-question quiz (8–9) | Counted from all 7 quizzes: question, options and fun fact read at 120 words a minute, 20 s to answer each |
| Picture Bingo | 3.5 min per one-line game | Estimate: about 15 calls to the first winner (stated in the game, 20 players) × 10 s, plus 1 min to check the card |
| Quick-List | 10 min for 3 rounds | Stated in the game: 3 rounds take about 10 minutes |
| Left-Right Gift Game | 2–3 min per story | The game's printed read times, 2.1–3.2 min per story, plus 2 min to sit in a circle |
| Scavenger Hunt | 10 min to hide, 15 min to play | Stated in the game: a 6-clue trail takes about 10 minutes to set up and 15 to play |
| Secret Missions | runs all night; reveal ≈ 20 s per guest | Estimate: 20 s per guest for the guessing round |
For 12 guests of mixed ages, our planner fits 6 game blocks of 8 to 18 minutes, one 10-minute break and a Left-Right gift game to finish — 107.5 minutes in all. Plan fewer if dinner is part of the two hours: count only the time you actually want to spend playing.
From our own game files: Feud about 3 minutes per board, a 15-question trivia quiz about 8.5 minutes, a one-line Picture Bingo game about 3.5 minutes, three rounds of Quick-List 10 minutes, a Left-Right story 2–3 minutes, and a 6-clue scavenger hunt 15 minutes to play after 10 minutes of hiding.
Picture Bingo (ages 3+), the Left-Right gift game (4+), Christmas Trivia with a kids' quiz (5+) and Christmas Feud (6+, two mixed teams). Put the youngest on a team with a grown-up for Feud and Trivia.
Secret Missions handles 6 to 60 guests because every card is different; Picture Bingo works up to 100 players; Feud and Trivia work in teams of any size; for Left-Right, make two circles with two prizes once you pass 12 players.
