Looking for a fun party theme or activity to celebrate an adult's birthday? Try some of these ideas:
  • Host a murder mystery dinner party for your friend: you can create your own mystery, or invest in a murder mystery game kit
  • Create a scavenger hunt: split into teams and race to find objects around a home, park, or city
  • Go axe-throwing: a fun, active option that can you can turn into a competition if you want
  • Attend a paint-and-sip event: enjoy wine while painting your next masterpiece (or host your own paint-and-sip birthday party at your house!)
  • Throw a costume party: you could even pick a theme, like a specific decade or the birthday person's favorite TV show
  • Go out for brunch with your friends: a simple yet classy way to celebrate!
  • Do an escape room: a fun and challenging way to bond with your pals
  • Get dinner and play games at an arcade: a nostalgic activity that will bring out your inner kid
  • Have a backyard movie night: set up a projector and a screen (or hang up a white sheet), get cozy on a blanket, and watch the birthday person's favorite film
  • Have a pool party: lounge and swim with cocktails or mocktails and great music
