Hen do games online

Hen party games for the same room or a video call.

CardYard gives the group easy hen do games for a house, hotel room, restaurant table, or video call. Start with clean prompts, then choose dares or drinking rules only when everyone is happy with that round.

Virtual hen party games for Zoom or FaceTime

Host-led prompts: the organiser opens a local game and reads the prompts over the call. Everyone answers or votes aloud. Free prompt generation has a daily allowance; adult categories and custom generation may require Premium.

Private Rooms: a signed-in Premium host creates the Room, then shares its link or code. Friends join free on their own screens. Keep Zoom or FaceTime open separately; CardYard does not provide the video call.

  1. Open the video call and check that everyone can hear the host.
  2. Choose clean or adult content together before drawing the first card.
  3. Agree that anyone can pass a question or dare without explaining why.
  4. Keep secret prompts and clue-giver screens off screen sharing. For acting games, send the prompt only to the actor.

A 30-minute virtual hen do plan

Give the organiser a simple running order so friends from different parts of the bride’s life can join in. Keep the opening round clean and let everyone pass.

  1. 0–5 minutes: Introductions and Would You Rather. Say how you know the bride, then try a light icebreaker.
  2. 5–15 minutes: Most Likely To. Vote aloud or count down and point to names on the call.
  3. 15–25 minutes: Truth or Dare. Choose questions and small tasks that work from everyone’s own home.
  4. 25–30 minutes: Each guest shares a funny memory or a compliment for the bride.

A good round, fast

Make the round work.

  1. Start clean, then choose the mood

    A hen party usually works better when the first round is easy for everyone. Open with funny prompts, then move into dares or drinking rules only when the group asks for them.

  2. Good for small groups and busy rooms

    You do not need printed cards or a long setup. One person can open CardYard on a phone, read the prompt aloud, and keep the game moving between photos, food, and getting ready.

  3. Bring in the bride without pressure

    Use bride-friendly prompts, group votes, and light dares so the night feels personal without making one person carry every turn.

Before you start

Questions, answered.

The short version: pick an easy category, set a timer, and let the room do the rest.

How do we organise a virtual hen party on a video call?

Open Zoom or FaceTime, choose an organiser and agree on clean or adult content. The organiser can read local prompts aloud, or a Premium host can create a private Room and share its code. Keep private prompts away from screen sharing.

Can we play online hen party games for free?

Yes. Read prompts from free local categories over your call, within the daily generation allowance. A signed-in Premium account is needed to host a synchronised private Room; friends join free. Some categories and custom generation also require Premium.

Do hen party guests need Premium or an app?

No. Guests can answer host-led prompts on the call, or open the private Room link in their browser and join free. Only the person creating the Room needs a signed-in Premium account.

What games do you play at a hen party?

Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever, Most Likely To, and Truth or Drink are easy choices because the rules are familiar and the group can start quickly.

Can hen party games stay clean?

Yes. Start with clean or funny categories and only add adult, spicy, or drinking rules if everyone wants that version of the game.

Do hen party games work at home?

Yes. CardYard works well at home because it runs in the browser and does not need printed cards, apps, or a host-written question list.
