Why hosts like it
Most New Year’s Eve game bundles give you a handful of pages and leave the planning to you. Confetti Hour comes with a plan. Put Bingo and This or That on chairs before guests arrive, run trivia while people eat, play a few one-minute challenges, then slow down with Year in Review and Predictions before the countdown. The Host Countdown Plan lays out that whole flow so you are not checking your phone all night.
There is a good mix too: icebreakers for guests who just met, team games for competitive friends, quiet puzzles for kids, and keepsake pages that make the night feel like more than a party.
File formats and paper sizes
- 4 PDF files: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4, each in a Classic version and an Ink Saver version with white pages and no dark blocks.
- A clickable contents page: tap any title to jump to that game on a tablet or computer.
- A user guide (DOCX) with printing tips, how to play every game, troubleshooting and FAQ.
What you need: a free PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader and a home printer or print shop. Regular printer paper works for most games. Card stock is best for the charades cards and awards.
How it works
- Download the ZIP file after checkout and unzip it on your computer.
- Open the PDF in your paper size and pick your games from the contents page.
- Print only the pages you need: one per guest for sheet games, one total for card games.
- Play, keep score, and hand out awards after midnight.
Ways to make it yours
You do not need to print the whole pack. Choose six games for a short evening or run all of them over a long night. The Score Sheet has blank column headings, so it works with any games you choose. Set your own prizes, house rules and point values in the open spaces. To save paper, print two pages per sheet using your printer’s “pages per sheet” setting.
Great for
- A family New Year’s Eve at home with kids, teens and grandparents.
- A dinner party with friends who want something to do between courses.
- An office or team end-of-year party.
- Classroom, youth group or church New Year activities in late December or early January.
- A small night in, using the Year in Review, Predictions and Time Capsule pages.
