How to Choose the Perfect Adult Party Game for Your Group

Quick answer

Start by asking: how many players, what kind of humor, and how much energy? For groups that love internet culture and inside jokes, go with What Do You Meme? Gif Edition. If your crew enjoys wordplay and fast-paced guessing, Incohearent is the better fit.

Match the game to your group size

Most adult party games list a minimum player count, but the real sweet spot is often higher. What Do You Meme? Gif Edition works well with 4 to 8 players because the caption-judging dynamic keeps everyone involved. Incohearent shines with 4 to 6 players, as the gibberish decoding gets chaotic and loud with a medium-sized group.

If you regularly host larger parties (8+), look for games that include team play or have enough cards to avoid repeats. Both games listed here offer enough content for multiple rounds, but you may want to buy expansion packs for bigger crowds.

Consider the humor style of your group

Not all adult humor lands the same way. What Do You Meme? Gif Edition relies on meme literacy and visual gags—perfect for groups that share memes regularly. Incohearent is all about wordplay and the aha moment when you finally decode a phrase like “thirds teeth or stay” (you’ve been…). It rewards quick thinking and a love for language puzzles.

If your group leans sarcastic or enjoys roasting each other, the caption-based format of What Do You Meme? gives more room for personalized jokes. If they prefer cooperative laughter and light competition, Incohearent’s race-to-guess structure keeps everyone engaged.

Energy level and play time

What Do You Meme? Gif Edition moves at a moderate pace—players take turns as judge, so there’s natural downtime. Incohearent is faster and louder, with everyone shouting guesses at once. For a relaxed hangout, pick the meme game. For a high-energy icebreaker, pick the gibberish game.

Both games play in about 30–60 minutes, depending on how many rounds you run. Neither requires setup beyond shuffling cards, so you can jump in right away.
