How to Host the Perfect Herd Game Night
Herd games like Moojority are designed for groups, and a little preparation can turn a good game night into a great one. Here's how to host a herd game party like a pro.
The Perfect Herd Game Setup
For the best herd game experience, connect a laptop or tablet to your TV. Use "Big Screen" mode so everyone can see the questions and results. Each player uses their own phone to submit answers.
Ideal Group Size for Herd Games
Herd games work best with 4-8 players. With fewer, there's less variety in answers. With more, rounds take longer and the "majority" becomes harder to predict.
Keep the Energy Up
- Celebrate the chaos: When everyone gives different answers in a herd game, that's funny! Lean into it.
- Mock the Red Cow holder: Gentle teasing is part of the fun.
- Read answers dramatically: Build suspense before revealing who matched.
- Take breaks: After 10-15 rounds, pause for snacks and socializing.
Herd Game House Rules
Feel free to customize your herd game rules! Some groups allow "close enough" answers (Coke vs Coca-Cola). Others are strict. Decide before you start.
Playing Herd Games Remotely
Playing herd games over Zoom or Discord? Share your screen showing the Big Screen view. Everyone joins the same room code on their devices. It works surprisingly well!
