Local Multiplayer Games

I was inspired by some posts on the main feed to make a HUGE list of all the local multiplayer games I have experience with. I’ve hosted many game parties in my life, both gamers and non-gamers, and I wanted to make this list for myself or for anyone who might be looking for a local multiplayer game suggestion. That being said, my list will not be exhaustive and I am always looking for more games myself, so feel free to recommend some of your favourites as well! Also, this is not a list of the best games, but a general list of different options for local multiplayer. :smiley:

I LOVE this. Thanks!

I really love ROUNDS. But I think I’d call it competitive, like Spiderheck.

I’d add Unravel (1) and Secret of Mana to the collab list.
For party games, I love Use Your Words and RiffTrax: The Game.

And for individual Jackbox games, I think the standouts are Trivia Murder Party, Blather Round, Quixort, Tee KO, and Guesspionage. Joke Boat, Mad Verse City, Earwax, and Quiplash are funny with the right people.

The first Unravel doesn’t have co-op. It was introduced in the second game.

Towerfall has a co-op PvE mode, so it probably should be in both competitive and co-op modes.

Wait, really? I have no idea what’s happening in my brain anymore.

It definitely felt like it should have had co-op. I guess that’s why the second was.
