Unique Pirate Party Games For Adults
Pirate party games for adults can be made up as any other kind of games with a little bit of imagination.
After all, it's not about discovering a new scientific formula or theory, it's just a game. You can use your imagination creating a pirate map, a pirate party invitation, a pirate costume, etc.
These pirate games stated below are just sprouting out of my imagination or just are some games that I have played myself and I have pretty much adapted and modified to become themed pirate party games. You can spice up the pirate party just telling or doing some pirate jokes. Enjoy them!
Physical Pirate Party Games
Pirates versus Navy Treasure Quest
This game is ideal to be played in the countryside, forest or among a vegetation environment in the evening time. It can be extremely fun, though slightly dangerous, and is specially designed for teenagers, even though can be good fun for adults too.
Make two groups. One group are the Pirates who are camped in one spot, the others are the Navy who are camped a bit far away in another spot. Identify the teams with red or blue bandannas. The members of the Navy have to protect their treasure -- anything surrounded by a piece of rope forming a circle of aproximately 10 feet around it. Additionally you can create a pirate map to help the pirates know where the navy crew treasure could be.
Both teams go with flashlights so they can see while they walk. The Pirate team has to get inside the circle where the navy crew treasure is and get it, whilst the Navy members have to protect the treasure using their flashlights, trying to light up the body of the pirate members with the pirate member's face looking towards them. A pirate caught this way is eliminated. Navy players must not stand any closer than 40 feet from their treasure: Navy members caught closer are also eliminated.
You give the Pirate team around 20 to 30 minutes to find the treasure. If they can not get inside the circle made with a rope and get the treasure then the navy team wins.
Another variation of this game could be when both teams have got their own treasure surrounded by a rope that forms a circle around it. The team that gets first the other team's treasure wins.
Pirates vs Navy flag duel
You make two lines on the ground, about 20 feet apart. Each team stands behind his own line. The Pirates hang "flags" -- a long red handkerchief, bandanna, or piece of cloth -- under the back of their pants waistband, so it hangs down like a tail. The Navy team use a contrasting color.
The goal in this game is to go and get the other team's flags from their pants and run back behind your team's line without being touched by the opponent you stole it from, who has to chase after you before you get behind your camp line.
If a person runs holding the opponent's flag gets behind his own camp line he wins; if the opponent chases and touches him before the other one gets behind his line he wins. The team who grabs the most flags wins the game. You can make a one-to-one duel, pairs duel or free-for-all duel.
Non-physical Pirate Party Games
Playing cards and Drinking Rum Pirate Game
Pirates used to drink rum mixed with gunpowder, they say. I don't know about the gunpowder, but they drank rum for sure.
The bottom line of this pirate party game idea would be to play any card games: poker, blackjack, speed, etc. and to make a competition with several games; and the winner would be the player that wins the biggest number of games.
Every time a game finishes
and there is a winner, this person has to choose two to three people
(it can
include himself!) too to drink a shot of spirit: ideally rum,
or perhaps whisky, gin, vodka, etc. The winner of the competition will
get as a champion prize a bottle of rum, or of any other good bottle of
spirit, and perhaps a pack of Hangover
Defense tablets!
