Superhero Party Games
These superhero party games can be either played individually, head to head, or in teams. Each one is inspired by a popular superhero and even though I’m a little bias toward The Avengers, I included Justice League superheroes, X-Men, and more since I’ve already shared Avengers party games. I designed the games so that they are all family-friendly, so you can use these for kids, adults, teens, or even grandparents. They can all be played individually or minute to win it style. Minute to Win It games are perfect for that – just use the game and change the difficulty for the player age. Style #1: Man vs. Clock – In this version, one player will be trying to beat the clock for each game. So for instance, they will have to try and finish the task within a minute.. If they do, they win a prize. If not, let someone else have a shot. Choose a different person per game. Style #2: Head to Head – In this style, you’ll pick two players for each game who will going head to head against each other instead of against the clock. See who can finish the task first. The first person to finish wins the prize. Again, rotate through pairs for each game. Style #3: Team Competition – In this style, you’ll split your group into two (or 3 or 10 depending on the number of guests) teams. For each game, teams must choose one player to compete head to head in the game with the other teams at the same time. The first team to finish will receive 10 points, the second team will receive 5, etc. This works best if you have quite a few people and is a good way to get everyone involved cheering for their team.
How These Superhero Party Games Are Played
If you have any doubt, check out the video below to see an example of a couple of the games and how fun they can be! This is only four games, imagine if you played 10 or more of these superhero games! Epic and amazing! Perfect to play right before you go see the new Infinity War movie!
Instructions for These Superhero Party Games
Each of these games is a bit different, so I’ve put together instructions for each. But know that you can switch things up or customize to work for your family and friends! If you’re playing with younger kids, make the rules a little easier. Playing with adults, crank up the difficulty!
Superhero Party Games: Avengers Games
Since most people are pretty divided, I figured I might as well divide up the games as well. I’m breaking this into two groups – Avengers and everything else. Because really, what else is there?
Captain America
Supplies Needed:
Paper plates, even better if they’re red, white, and blue like these ones A basket or box – a red or blue one like this would be perfect Masking or Americana duct tape
How to Play: Players must stand behind the line that’s taped on the ground 20 feet away from the basket and try to toss paper plate “shields” to get them to land in the basket or other container. First played to land a certain number of plates in the basket before the time runs out wins. Or if you’re playing individually, player has to get a certain number of shields in the basket before a minute is up.
Spiderman
Supplies:
Sticky hands Plastic spiders
How to Play: Place a bunch of plastic spiders on the ground and give each player a sticky hand. Players must sling their sticky hand “webs” to pick up a certain number (10) of plastic spiders in the allotted time (or fastest).
Iron Man
Supplies:
(8) iron lug nuts A metal chopstick
How to Play: Player must put the chopstick in their mouth and using only their mouth to hold the chopstick, stack the lug nuts on their sides on top of each other. Player must stack all eight to win. If they fall down, they must start again.
Hulk
Supplies:
Green balloons
How to Play: This is a two player game. Give each pair a bag full of balloons and to play, they must first blow up a balloon then pop it together, using only one hand per person – pressing the balloon together to Hulk smash. Smash three balloons.
Thor
Supplies:
A small hammer Ping pong balls A plastic bucket (you could also use a box but the plastic bucket that it can bounce out of is more fun)
How to Play: Give each player a bucket of ping pong balls and a hammer. Place a bucket on the other side of the room across from the player with the hammer. To play, player must bounce a ping pong ball and using the hammer navigate the ping pong ball into the bucket at the other side of the room. Make sure to get ping pong balls that bounce well or this becomes almost impossible!
Hawkeye
Supplies:
Large/thick rubber bands (the thin ones don’t work) Toy cars like Hot Wheels or Matchbox Cars Table
How to Play: Set the toy car at the end of the table and give the player a pile full of rubber bands. Player must use the rubber bands to shoot the toy car from one end to the other. If the car falls off the side, they must place it back on the table where it fell off and start again.
Black Panther
Supplies:
A spool of black yarn (it’s cheaper to buy in stores than online FYI)
How to Play: Player must put one hand behind their back and with the one hand behind their back, must unravel the entire ball of black yarn. They can use any method they want as long as they don’t remove their hand from behind their back. They must get the other end of the ball of yarn in their hand to win.
Ant Man
Supplies:
Raisins (3) half-full 2-liter soda bottles.
How to Play: Place the three two-liter soda bottles in a line in the middle of the room. To win, players must stand above the soda bottles and drop “ants” (raisins) from eye level into the soda bottles below. No bending or lowering their hand below eye-level. For kids, they must drop one into a bottle and for adults, they must drop an ant into each to win.
Black Widow
Supplies: Hula hoop (size should depend on what age group is playing) and plastic spiders Play: Player must put a plastic spider on their head and without touching the spider at any point (once it’s on their head), get through the hula hoop from one side to the other. If the spider drops or they touch it, they have to try again.
Superhero Party Games: Other Superheroes
I couldn’t just stop with the Avengers because really there are so many awesome superheroes out there, the Avengers just happen to be my favorite. But who knows after last week’s Infinity War Trailer, not sure I’m going to be a big fan if all my favorites are no longer around!
Flash
Supplies:
Any objects from your house that you can use to create an obstacle course A bucket filled with any objects (e.g., balls, villains, medals, etc.).
How to Play: Players must race through the obstacle course and grab an object out of the bucket setup at the end of the course, as fast as possible then race back through and drop it off by the starting line of the obstacle course. Repeat three times.
Batman
Supplies:
Regular white copy paper Plastic cups Batman villains (or other toy villains)
Play: Give the player a stack of regular printer player. Player must make a paper Bat Jet (i.e., airplane) across the room to knock villains off cups, setup about 20 feet away, before the time runs out. Players must knock off all three villains (or cups with villains on top) to win.
Aquaman
Supplies:
Swedish fish or gummy sharks Ornament hooks String
How to Play: Place Swedish fish on the ground in a “pond.” Tie an ornament hook to a 3 foot long piece of string. To play, players must hold the piece of string in their mouth and try to hook a Swedish fish from the pile. They either have to pick it up (more difficult) or just move it from the pond to a designated area on the opposite side.

Green Ring Pops

Gambit

Playing cards Box
How to Play: Place a box at one of a room and a deck of playing cards about five feet away. To play, players must toss playing cards Gambit style (like a frisbee) and get at least five cards to land in the box before the time runs out. Increase or decrease the number of cards depending on who is playing.
Daredevil
Supplies:
A piece of poster board or cardboard Oreos or really any treat would work – I’d actually maybe recommend wrapped candy, just make sure it’ll glide okay on a table Blindfold A medium size bowl or cup
How to Play: Player must sit on one side of the table wearing the blindfold. Tape the cardboard or poster board to the other side of the table so it creates a ramp from the table edge to a bowl/cup on the ground underneath the edge of the table. Player has one minute to roll Oreos over the edge of the ramp blindfolded to try and get one to land in the cup.
Wonder Woman
Supplies:
String 3 lightweight gold items

Silver Surfer
Supplies:
Gray or silver colored towels Obstacles to make an obstacle course (optional)

Superman
Supplies:
Rock candy (preferably green so it looks like Kryptonite) Plastic straws
How to Play: Place rock candy in a cup on onside of the room and place another cup on the other side. Player must use the plastic straws only to transfer the green rocky candy (Kryptonite) to the cup on the other side of the room without touching it. If they touch it, they must start over.
