Top 10 Games for Your Home (or Office) Game Room

The game room is a key part of many homes. If you want to spend more quality time with your family, have more entertaining parties, and always have something fun to do, dedicating part of your home as a game room is an excellent decision.

So now that you have a game room or have at least decided that you need to create one, the next decision involves what games should be a part of your game room.

In this article, we’ll look at 10 awesome options. You can’t go wrong with any of them.

1. Ping Pong / Table Tennis

A ping pong table is a great addition to any game room. It’s a great game for 2 or 4 players, and you can even play by yourself with a folding table or a table tennis robot. Whether it is a fun family game or a spirited game between friends, ping pong is always an excellent choice.

Ping pong tables can get quite expensive, but you obviously don’t need a professional-level table for your game room. There are plenty of affordable options that will be more than sufficient for the typical needs of a home or office game room.

2. Darts

Darts is another popular choice and a game with many possibilities. There are countless variations and types of games that can be played with a dartboard. You can play by yourself, with just one other person, or play a game with many teams and many players. Darts is a great game for parties when you want to find a game that many people can play together.

Another nice thing about dartboards is that they don’t need to take up a lot of space. You’ll need some open room in front of the dartboard for a clear throwing lane, but when you’re not playing it won’t take up any space in the room. You can even get a cabinet that will hide the dartboard when it’s not being used.

Dartboards are also quite affordable. You’ll have to decide whether you want a traditional bristle dartboard or an electronic dartboard. Electronic dartboards typically use soft-tipped darts, which can be nice for home use because they are less likely to damage the walls.

3. Pool / Billiards

A pool table is another popular choice for your game room and one that is sure to lead to many friends spending more time at your house. The downside to a pool table is that it will take up a good bit of space, maybe the majority of your game room, and they can also be quite expensive. Of course, you can get them for affordable prices if you don’t want a top-quality table. You can also get a mini table if you want to save some room (and some money).

4. Air Hockey

Air hockey is one of my personal favorites. Not many home game rooms have an air hockey table, so your game room is sure to see more visitors if you add an air hockey table.

Air hockey tables can be big and cumbersome, but there are some smaller and more economical options available.

5. Shuffleboard

There are a few different variations of shuffleboard. It can be played on the ground with large disks or pucks, or a different variation can be played on a table. As far as a game room is concerned, the table variation is a great option. The other version is great for your outdoor space.

Shuffleboard tables are quite long, but they’re narrow, so they are a realistic option for many game rooms. The game looks pretty simple, but it’s really a lot of fun once you play it.

6. Foosball

A foosball table is always a popular option, as well. You’ll need a decent amount of space in your room for foosball because you won’t want to slam into walls or innocent bystanders when you’re spinning and maneuvering the players.

Foosball is especially fun with 4 or 6 players. It’s not my favorite 2-player game as it’s kind of hard to manage an entire site by yourself, but if you often have 4 or more people to play, it is a great choice.

7. Pinball

Adding a pinball machine can make your game room a lot of fun. This is a great choice if you spend a lot of time in the game room by yourself. There aren’t many games that are as fun playing by yourself as pinball.

You can buy a new pinball machine or check Craigslist, and you may be able to find a vintage/used one in your area.

8. Arcade Basketball

An arcade-style basketball game can be a lot of fun, and some of them are surprisingly affordable. This a great 2-player game, and with more players, you can always play tournament style. This is a popular game for kids and adults alike. When I was a kid, I would have loved to have one of these, and even now, as an adult, it’s on my list of things to add to the game room.

9. Video Games

Many homes today have a video game console of some type. Video games aren’t just for kids anymore, with many adults still enjoying the games. I grew up playing a lot of sports and racing games, and they’re still my favorites.

To have video games, you’ll obviously need a TV or computer in your game room. Surround sound is also a welcomed addition that can make gaming even more fun.

10. DIY Games

While you can buy plenty of great games for your game room, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a fun place in your home. You can go with budget-friendly options for basics like ping pong tables and dartboards. In most cases, the budget options will be more than adequate just for having fun at home.
