Holi is all about colours, joy, and a whole lot of masti! But let’s be real, every Holi party needs more than just gulal and gujiyas to keep the fun going. If you want to take your game for Holi party to the next level, you’re in the right place. We’re bringing you the most fun games for Holi that will turn your celebration into an unforgettable affair. Whether you're hosting a grand bash or just chilling with close friends and family, these Holi-themed games will make sure no one stays dry or bored!

Think Easter egg hunt but make it Holi! Hide colour packets, sweets, and small surprises around your home or garden. Divide your guests into teams and let the chaos begin! The team that collects the most treasures wins a special Holi treat. Want to make it more exciting? Add a rule that every time a participant finds an item, they must be splashed with colour!

If you love playing tambola at family gatherings, you’ll love this Holi housie game with a colourful twist. Instead of numbers, use words associated with Holi, like “gulal,” “pichkari,” “rang barse,” and “bhang.” Every time a word is called, the player must throw a handful of colour in the air. Because what’s Holi without a little mess?

Forget traditional dodgeball! This Holi festival game is all about water balloons. Divide your guests into two teams and let them aim, throw, and dodge. The team with the least amount of hits wins. But let’s be honest? Getting hit with a cool splash of water under the sun is half the fun!

Turn your Holi party into an artistic adventure! Provide large white sheets or canvases, plenty of vibrant colours, and let your guests unleash their inner artists. Whether they use water guns, brushes, or just their hands, this game is about creating a masterpiece while having a blast.

This classic game gets a Holi-themed upgrade! Instead of removing chairs, remove one colour every round. Participants must use only the available colours left for the next splash attack. The last one standing with colour on them wins!

Get those pichkaris ready! Set up a relay race where participants have to fill their water gun from a bucket, run to a target, and spray it before passing the gun to the next teammate. The first team to finish wins a prize, probably a bucket full of water thrown at them!

A Holi take on beer pong! Place colour bowls at different distances and blindfold the players. They must toss handfuls of colour towards the bowls. The person who lands the most colour inside the bowls wins a special Holi festival game prize.

Divide guests into two teams, dip the rope in coloured water, and let the madness begin! The losing team gets an extra round of colour splashes, making defeat as fun as victory.

Food lovers, this one’s for you! Blindfold the participants and have them taste different Holi treats like gujiya, thandai, and jalebi. The person who guesses the most correctly wins a delicious prize, maybe an extra plate of their favourite dessert!

Play peppy Holi songs and let everyone groove. When the music stops, everyone must freeze in place. Anyone caught moving gets drenched in colour or water. The last one standing dry wins!

Add a fun twist to the traditional limbo game with a touch of Holi to it. Set up a stick and keep the height normal for the first round. After every round, lower it. Players must bend backward and pass under the stick without touching it. But, if you’re wondering what the challenge is? Other than passing without touching! Every time someone fails, they get splashed with pichkaris and colours! Whoever is the last one standing, wins a Holi-themed prize!

With these Holi games, your party is bound to be a riot of laughter, colour, and endless fun. So, get your pichkaris loaded, your colours ready, and your competitive spirit on, because this Holi, the only rule is to have as much fun as possible! Happy Holi 2025!
