Whether it’s a ‘quiet night in’ or a lively family and friends get-together, there’s plenty of fun to be had from the comfort of your own home. From thrilling online escape rooms to a raving at-home bar crawl, from binge-watching Netflix to calming meditation classes, the list of home-based entertainment is never-ending. Here are five of the top experiences you can enjoy by yourself or with others, without taking a single step outside of your front door:
Murder Mystery
Channel that inner Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot and put your investigative skills to the test. Gather the clues to help solve the mystery and uncover the killer’s identity. You can find free online murder mystery experiences in which you can fly solo or enlist the help of your friends and family to solve the crime. Another great way to enjoy this experience is by hosting a Murder Mystery Night whereby guests dress up as characters and act out the scenes leading up to the murder and the aftermath that occurs.
Board Games
An age-old pastime that never fails to excite those competitive and fun juices is a good old fashioned board game. So, dust off that monopoly board, polish up on your scrabble vocab or put on your thinking cap for a refined game of chess but whatever you choose, you’ll be sure to drum up some fun. But don’t worry if you’re having a quiet night in alone, get online where you will find scores of free board games available for virtual play.
Online Casino
Visiting a bricks and mortar casino can prove fairly costly especially when you consider the table minimums, food and drinks expenses plus your taxi fare and outfit requirements. So, what better than to play your favourite table games and online pokies from the comfort of your own sofa. You don’t have to get dressed up, that is unless you want to, and there’s no pressure to waste money on drinks or food, just empty your fridge and reach for your beverage of choice. Some of the best online casinos also provide the chance to play games for free in demo mode.
At-Home Bar Crawl
“Why not host an at-home bar crawl by turning every room into a different themed bar? It may be wiser for guests to start at the top of the house and work their way down the stairs as the evening wears on to save any mishaps! You could even turn one room into a cocktail bar and host a cocktail-making competition. Contestants would have a set amount of time to make their drinks and then try each other’s concoctions before voting on the winner.
Binge-Watch TV Shows Or Classic Movies
On everyone’s top ten list of fun activities to do at home, binge-watching tv shows or old movies is sure to appear. Maybe you’re getting in the festive mood with seasonal favourites like ‘Elf’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ or alternatively it’s a chance to catch up on shows like ‘The Sopranos’ or ‘Breaking Bad’. Whether you’re home alone or enjoying an evening in with friends, this is the perfect way to kick back and relax.
