College Party Games
In a dorm room there's no table, no space, and no chance anyone reads instructions. Whatever you play has to run off one phone in a crowded room.
That constraint eliminates most party games and leaves a narrow, effective category: pass-the-phone card games. They need no floor space, no props, and no explanation beyond 'read it out'. Gameyard's Party Mode covers 3-8 players with fail penalties that keep rounds moving and a spice dial for how wild the room actually is.
Charge the phone first. The single most common way a phone-based party game dies is the host's battery.

Frequently asked questions
What are good college party games?
Ones that work in a small space with no equipment. Dorms and shared houses rarely have a free table or floor, so games that require setup lose by default. A phone-passed card game solves the space problem and can be picked up by people arriving mid-party.
