Game Night Tips: Making Family Time Unforgettable

Family game night doesn't have to mean the same old routine. Here are fresh, fun ideas to make your next gathering one everyone will remember.

1. Theme It Up

Pick a theme—Kenyan classics, African trivia, or even a specific decade. Dress up, prepare themed snacks, and choose games that match the vibe.

2. Mix Generations

Choose games that work for everyone—from your youngest cousin to your grandmother. Games with simple rules but deep strategy work best.

3. Add Stakes (Friendly Ones)

Winner picks the next movie? Loser does the dishes? Small stakes make everything more exciting.

4. Create Traditions

Make it a monthly thing. Same day, same time, different games. Before you know it, it becomes the highlight everyone looks forward to.

5. Document the Moments

Take photos, record the funniest moments, create a family game night album. These memories are priceless.

At Niko Kadi, we believe the best family moments happen around a game table. So grab a game, gather your people, and make some memories.
