Hot tubs aren’t just for relaxing—they’re also the perfect spot for laid-back laughs and spontaneous fun with friends! Whether you’re hosting a cozy hangout or throwing a bubbly party, adding a few games to the mix takes your soak session to the next level. 🫧👯♀️
Here are some of the best games to play in the hot tub—no fancy equipment needed!
💬 1. 20 Questions – The Classic Thinker
Someone thinks of a person, place, or thing, and the others ask yes-or-no questions to figure out what it is. You only get 20 questions, so think carefully! Perfect for relaxing while keeping your brain bubbling. 🧠
🤔 2. Would You Rather – The Silly Debate Starter
Take turns asking “Would you rather…” questions—like “Would you rather only bathe in hot tubs forever or never use one again?” It gets people talking, laughing, and learning weird things about each other.
🎵 3. Name That Tune – Hot Tub DJ Edition
Pick someone to be the DJ (waterproof speaker recommended 🎧). They play a few seconds of a song, and the first person to name the song or artist wins! Extra fun if you theme it—like 2000s hits, movie soundtracks, or TikTok faves.
🧊 4. Hot Tub Freeze Dance (Yes, Really)
When the music plays, you dance (or wiggle, because, water). When the music stops, everyone freezes. The last one to stop moving is out. It’s goofy, it’s wet, and it’s way more fun than it should be. 💃🛁🕺
🎲 5. Floating Truth or Dare
Use a waterproof container or floating cup with slips of paper inside that have truth or dare prompts. Take turns picking one, or write them together before getting in! Keep it fun and friendly (or spicy, if that’s your group’s vibe 😏).
🎯 6. Hot Tub Pong
Similar to beer pong, but played in the hot tub! Float ping pong balls into floating cups or targets across the water. You can DIY a floating “pong table” with a pool noodle ring and some solo cups.
🐠 7. Underwater Charades
Act out an animal, action, or object while partially underwater—no talking allowed! It’s way harder and funnier than regular charades, and it’s guaranteed to cause splashes and laughs.
