Never Have I Ever

A classic and well known Hen Party Game – perfect if you need a few extra games to play on the night, but want one with minimal preparation work needed! There are a few variations of this game – we’ll explain them all below:

Never Have I Ever – Standard Version

  • Sit the group in a circle so that everyone has vision of each other.

  • Ask everyone to hold up 10 fingers (alternatively – you could hand out 10 matches or cards – something to enable everyone to keep a score!).

  • Starting with the Hen – she has to share something she has ‘never done’.

  • Anyone in the group that HAS done the thing the Hen say’s she’s never done – has to put one finger down.

  • If nobody in the group has done the thing mentioned – that the person that said it loses the round and puts a finger down.

  • The game then moves to the next person in the circle. We usually work by going clockwise.

  • The winner of the game is the last person with fingers remaining up.

Never Have I Ever – Drinking Version

  • Again, sit the group in a circle so that everyone has vision of each other.

  • Rather than using 10 fingers – make sure everyone has a full drink in front of them. It has to be the same drink – and has to be in the same size glass to be fair (the perfect game to start after getting a round from the bar – a round of cocktails maybe!!).

  • Follow the rules above by going round the group saying ‘I have never…’ followed by something you’ve never done.

  • Anyone that has done what was mentioned has to drink 2 ‘fingers’ worth of drink (measured by putting 2 fingers horizontally besides the glass at the current drink level – and drinking until you’re below the second finger level).

  • If no one drinks – the person that said the ‘I have never…’ has to drink 2 fingers of their drink.

  • The winner is the last person with a drink left!

Never Have I Ever – Endless Drinking Version

  • Very similar to the above 2 games – but rather than the winner being the person with the most fingers/drink left – the aim of the game is to get everyone drunk before yourself.

  • The game ends when everyone on the Hen Party is too drunk to continue!

This Hen Party Game works on so many levels – as it fits in with a Wild Hen Party, as well as a quiet Hen Party at Home. It’s also a great one to play if you want to know some gossip and get to know the group better. It’s a great way to give everyone a laugh!
