The original Indian party game. Here are the rules, five rounds that keep it from dragging, and fifty words for the word round.
Antakshari, without the arguments.saaki turns the best antakshari rounds into games with a score: Sing the Word, Hum It, Speed Round. Bollywood Night is free.
Traditional opener: “Baithe baithe kya karein, karna hai kuch kaam, shuru karo antakshari leke prabhu ka naam.”
Instead of a letter, the host calls a word. Sing any song that has it. Words are below.
Hum, don’t sing. Team guesses. 30 songs to hum.
Perform a film dialogue, the team names the film. 30 dialogues.
A topic, 20 seconds, three songs. 50 topics.
Read a song title in English, sing the real one. 30 to try.
Two teams take turns singing Hindi film songs. Each song has to start with the last letter of the line the other team just sang. If a team can’t start a song in ten seconds, the other team scores.
Word round, hum round, dialogue round, rapid fire and translation round all work well. Mix two or three in one night so it doesn’t drag.
saaki has games built on these rounds (Sing the Word, Hum It, Speed Round) that keep score on one phone. It is free at saaki.
