Five Fun Eurovision 2023 Party Games

The Eurovision Song Contest is a time for pure, unadulterated fun! Although the competition itself is plenty of entertainment on its own, sometimes the extensive runtime can feature a few lulls. To keep things exciting in those moments of waiting for scores or long commentary, why not try out a few of our party games?

1. Sweepstake

Place your bets! By the end of the week, there will be a new Eurovision winner. Do you think you might know who it will be? Put your prediction skills to the test by setting up a sweepstake with your friends/family! Everyone pitches in a chosen amount of cash and is given a random competitor in the contest. The person who has selected the correct winner at the end of the competition is awarded the full amount as a prize!

To make people more inclined to join, you can even split the prize winnings into three percentages – 50% for first place, 30% for second place, 20% for third place. Or, if you’re feeling generous, have the funds go to a charity of the winner’s choice.

2. Guess the Cuisine

Either a fun one for the host to set up, or one all the guests can contribute to! For hosts, try out your cooking abilities by putting together a collection of obscure dishes/snacks from various performing countries in the Eurovision Song Contest. Have your guests sample the recipes and see if they can guess what country it originates from! For an extra game, you can also ask them to rate your dishes based on taste and presentation.

To get everyone involved, ask your guests beforehand to bring in a dish/snack from a participating country. This way, the host can get involved, and you can also see how creative your acquaintances can be.
