Top 5 Games to Play at a Farmhouse with Friends

Last weekend, my friends and I decided to do something we hadn’t done in a long time. With work piling up, group chats going silent, and everyone's schedule clashing, it had been months since we properly caught up. That’s when one of us suggested, “Why not book a farmhouse near Hyderabad and just chill like the old days?” That one message turned into the best weekend we’ve had in a long time.

We booked a beautiful 2 BHK private farmhouse in Hyderabad that had everything: a private pool, box cricket setup, music system and a big green lawn, and even a bonfire pit. It was perfect for our group of 8. From the moment we arrived, the place screamed fun and freedom. What followed was two days of non-stop laughter, games, food, and memories.

Let me walk you through the top 5 games we played during this amazing trip that every group should try when they book a private farmhouse with friends.

1. Box Cricket: The Match of the Year

The farmhouse we booked had a dedicated box cricket area, and as cricket lovers, we were beyond excited. It felt like a mini stadium just for us. We quickly split into two teams Team A and Team B and even gave ourselves funny team names. The “Farmhouse Warriors” vs. “Hyd Hustlers.”

We played under the afternoon sun, with loud music in the background and endless cheering from the sidelines. The best part about box cricket is that it’s compact, competitive, and hilarious when friends start acting like pro players with no real skill.

It didn’t matter who won, but more than that, it brought out our old college vibes. We argued over LBWs, cheered for sixes, and captured some incredible slow motion replays on our phones. This game alone made the whole trip worth it.

2. Pool Volleyball: Splash, Laughter, Repeat

Once we were tired from cricket, we headed straight to the private pool. The water was cool, the sun was starting to set, and it was time for pool volleyball. All you need is a light ball and a fun spirit. We tied a thread from one end to another as a net, and soon we were diving, splashing, and laughing nonstop.

Pool games are a must when you're staying at a farmhouse with a pool. Not only do they cool you down, but they also create the kind of spontaneous fun you just don’t get anywhere else. One of our friends, Rahul, kept slipping every time he tried to jump. It was hilarious and gave us endless jokes for the rest of the night.

After the volleyball match, we just chilled in the pool with drinks and music, enjoying the breeze and sunset. It felt like a mini vacation just an hour from Hyderabad.

3. Lawn Tug-of-War and Dodgeball

By the time it was evening, we had dried off and moved to the big green lawn area. That’s where we decided to play some good old-fashioned group games. First up was Tug-of-War. We used a thick rope we found in the farmhouse storeroom, tied a marker in the middle, and split the teams again.

Tug-of-War is simple, but trust me, it gets intense. Everyone turns into a gym athlete for 60 seconds and then collapses laughing. It was hilarious to see some of us struggling to pull while the others just sat down mid-game from exhaustion.

We followed that up with dodgeball using a soft sponge ball. The rule was simple: no face shots. But you know how that goes. One friend tried to “accidentally” hit another in the face and paid for it with a full-speed throw back at him. These silly, childhood-style games reminded us how easy it is to have fun when you're in the right place with the right people.

4. DJ Music Games: Dance, Freeze, Repeat

As the sun went down, the lights came on. The farmhouse had a nice DJ setup with speakers and colored lights, so we turned the lawn into our private club. But instead of just dancing, we decided to play music games.

The first one was the classic “Freeze Dance” where you dance until the music stops, then freeze in the exact pose you were in. If you move, you’re out. It turned into the funniest thing ever when someone froze mid-twerk and fell over.

We also played "Guess That Song" . One person played a short audio clip, and the rest had to guess the song name. From Bollywood classics to 90s pop hits, it became a full-on nostalgic concert. The music games not only gave us a chance to dance but also relive all our shared music memories.

Then, we turned the volume up, and it was just dancing under the stars. No crowd. No curfew. Just us, music, and freedom.

5. Bonfire Truth or Dare: Late-Night Laughs

At around 11 PM, the farmhouse caretaker helped us set up the bonfire in the backyard. The crackling fire, warm glow, and cool breeze set the perfect vibe for the next game: Truth or Dare.

This classic game never gets old, especially when you play it around a bonfire with a bunch of unfiltered friends. We passed around an empty bottle and dared each other to do everything from singing awkward songs to calling exes. The truths were even crazier let’s just say some confessions were made that night!

We also shared real stories, laughed till our stomachs hurt, and just sat there talking about life, love, and college memories. It was one of those moments where time felt slow, and everything just felt right.

That’s the beauty of a farmhouse. You're not just playing games, you're building memories that last forever.

Bonus Games You Can Try with Friends at a Farmhouse

If you have more time or a larger group, here are a few more fun games to consider:

• Scavenger Hunt (hide clues around the farmhouse)

• Charades or Dumb Charades (guessing game endless fun around the bonfire)

• Any Cards games

• Board Games like Carrom, or Monopoly

• Karaoke Night with a Bluetooth mic and speaker

Why These Games Matter

When you book a private farmhouse in Hyderabad, it’s not just about the property it’s about what you do with your time there. These games brought our entire group closer. From pulling muscles in tug-of-war to bonding during deep bonfire talks, it was exactly the break we needed.

It doesn’t matter if you’re booking the place for a birthday celebration, reunion, bachelor party, or just a casual weekend. What makes it memorable are the little moments, the silly games, loud cheers, dance-offs, and late-night stories.

Final Thoughts

If you're planning to book a farmhouse for a party in Hyderabad with your friends, don’t overthink it. Pack your bags, plan your games, and just go. Book a place with good space, a pool, music system, and if possible, a box cricket setup.

We came back from that weekend with sore legs, tan lines, and memories that will last a lifetime. And more importantly, we came back feeling refreshed and reconnected something we all need once in a while.

Games at a farmhouse are not just games. They are laughter. They are bonding. They are stories you'll tell again and again.
