A mix of creative, competitive, and nostalgic challenges to bring grown-ups together.

While Easter celebrations often conjure images of children racing for brightly colored eggs, adults can and should join in the fun. If you’re hosting an Easter brunch, dinner, or party, infuse your gathering with joy and excitement using these Easter games for adults. From quirky egg tosses to competitive trivia, each game promises laughter, friendly rivalry, and unforgettable memories.

Why Play Easter Games for Adults?

Games are proven to bring people together, break the ice, and enhance social interaction. Easter games tailored for adults go beyond the familiar childhood hunts, introducing skills, strategy, and spirited fun into your celebration. Whether you’re with close family, friends, or new acquaintances, these activities can turn an ordinary gathering into an extraordinary event.

1. Easter Egg Challenge: Dares Inside the Eggs

Transform the classic egg hunt into an interactive challenge by hiding small slips of paper with dares or funny tasks inside each plastic egg. Participants must complete the challenge upon finding their egg before claiming their prize.

Sample dares: “Sing your favorite song in a bunny voice,” “Hop like a rabbit around the group,” or “Trade your egg with someone else.”
Tip: Mix silly and simple dares for variety and keep everything light-hearted.

2. Easter Pong: The Adult Twist on Beer Pong

Bring the popular party game to your Easter gathering with a themed twist. Instead of ping pong balls, use plastic Easter eggs and set up the cups as you would for beer pong. Whenever a player lands an egg in an opponent’s cup, the other team takes a drink.

Use colored drinks or mocktails for a festive touch.
Suitable for both indoors and outdoors (just mind the clean-up!).

3. Boozy Easter Egg Hunt

For a grown-up spin on the traditional egg hunt, fill plastic eggs with mini bottles of alcohol, drink vouchers, or cocktail ingredients. Scatter them creatively around your venue, encouraging adults to hunt with as much gusto as kids do for candy.

Ensure alcoholic eggs are clearly marked to avoid confusion with kid-friendly eggs.
For non-drinkers, offer gourmet chocolates, coffee samples, or small local gifts.

4. Bunny Tag

Add an active element with this energetic game. All participants must hop like bunnies—no regular running is allowed! If you’re “tagged” while running, you become “it.”

Encourage participants to get creative with their hops for added laughs.
Consider playing outside to give everyone space for safe hopping.

5. Easter Trivia Night

Test your guests’ knowledge with an Easter trivia contest. Cover topics like the origins of Easter traditions, famous holiday foods, and global celebrations.

Divide guests into teams for friendly competition.
Mix easy, medium, and tough questions for broad appeal.
Offer small prizes, such as chocolate eggs or themed trinkets, for winners.

6. Easter Egg Toss

Challenge dexterity and teamwork with this classic party game, given an Easter update. Each pair takes turns tossing a raw or plastic egg back and forth, stepping farther apart after each successful catch.

The last team with an unbroken egg wins.
For a mess-free version, use pre-filled water balloons inside plastic eggs.

7. Easter Egg Decorating Party

Who says dyeing eggs is just for kids? Provide egg dye, paints, stickers, and embellishments for adults to create intricate and personalized designs. Explore marble patterns, string-dyed effects, or even gold leaf accents for a sophisticated twist.

Set up a vote for “Best Egg,” “Funniest Design,” or “Most Artistic.”
Encourage swapping decorating tips and ideas too.

8. Spin and Pin the Tail on the Easter Bunny

Enjoy a nostalgia-filled game reminiscent of childhood parties. Blindfolded, each guest attempts to pin a tail onto a poster of a bunny—after being spun around, of course.

Use soft, detachable pom-poms as tails for safe, reusable fun.
Keep score or simply aim for laughs and photos.

9. Jelly Bean Sorting Race

Test coordination and speed! Hand out mixed jelly beans and challenge teams to sort them into separate containers by color. Up the difficulty by requiring chopsticks, tweezers, or spoons instead of hands.

The team that sorts the most correctly within a time limit wins.
Offer bonus points for speed and neatness.

10. Drawing Easter Eggs on Your Head

Give everyone a paper plate and a marker. Participants place the plate on their head and attempt to draw specific items—starting with an Easter egg but progressing to bunnies, chicks, or even baskets. The most recognizable (or funniest) drawing wins each round.

Rotate judges to keep things fair and light-hearted.
Get creative with prompts for maximum hilarity.

11. Easter Minute to Win It

Set up a series of rapid-fire challenges using Easter-themed props and household items—for example, stacking eggs, spoon-and-egg relays, or building towers out of marshmallow chicks.

Each task has to be completed within 60 seconds.
Rotate teams or individuals for maximum participation.

12. Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt with a Twist

Add a grown-up challenge by hiding eggs with riddles, secret tasks, or themed clues. The person or team that completes all clues or solves the final riddle wins a grand prize.

Include local trivia, inside jokes, or personalized clues for more fun.

13. Easter Bingo

Print Easter-themed bingo cards featuring images like bunnies, baskets, eggs, and flowers. Use jellybeans or small prizes as markers. Call out items and celebrate winners with festive treats.

Great for groups of all sizes and perfect for bringing everyone together after a meal.

14. Peeps Building Contest

Hand out packs of marshmallow “Peeps” and toothpicks, and see who can construct the tallest or most creative structure in a set time.

Total chaos and laughter are guaranteed!
Let guests vote on “Most Creative,” “Tallest,” or “Silliest.”

15. Resurrection Eggs Story Game

If you want to include the traditional story element, use Resurrection Eggs filled with symbolic items. Each participant opens one egg and tells a piece of the Easter story or invents a funny alternative if you’re keeping it light.

Great for faith-based gatherings, or as a humorous storytelling game.

16. Egg-and-Spoon Relay Race

Set up a classic relay course where each team member must race while balancing an egg on a spoon. Drop the egg and you’re back to the start!

Use hard-boiled eggs, plastic eggs filled with beans, or even candy eggs (for a suitable challenge level).

17. Themed Costume Contest

Encourage everyone to wear their most imaginative Easter or spring-themed costume, from bunny ears to full flower ensembles. Award prizes for “Most Original,” “Funniest,” or “Best DIY.”

Provide craft materials so guests can create their own accessories on the spot!
