Stumped on What to Do with Friends? Here Are 3 Fun Activities to Enjoy Together

I don’t know about you, but there have been many weekends when my friends and I find ourselves at a loss for what to do. The standard go-to is football or whatever other sport is in season with last-minute tickets available.

Why not try some exhilarating and fun new activities on the weekends? Score some choice ufc tickets or create your own scavenger hunt. There is no rule that says only children can have fun and play on the weekends! Here are three fun things you can do with friends that you may not have even thought of.

1. UFC Tickets

If you can get tickets to a UFC event, almost anyone who has ever attended one will tell you it is worth going. The events are lively, and you never know who you might see at one! Including the fighters themselves.

Unlike football or other sporting events, UFC champions remain accessible (, who is going to mess with one?). It’s possible to meet them in the crowd watching other fighters, or in the press area of the area. Also, a lot of celebrities attend UFC events, you never know what selfie opportunities may present themselves.

The crowd and ambiance are a lot of fun at UFC events. As with most sports fans you ask, they will tell you the experience is just much more fulfilling when live and in-person. Your energy can impact the energy of the room and the fighters themselves. It’s a very immersive experience.

Get some UFC tickets for you and your friends and be the hero that saved you all from a weekend of boredom.

2. Beer Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger hunts are severely underrated! There are all types, and they can be easily customized for any occasion – even just a boring weekend! If your friends are beer enthusiasts, try a beer themed scavenger hunt.

Each player provides their own 6-pack of preferred brew to participate in the game. (Soda or another drink can be substituted where needed to include all ages!). The game “host” or judge will hide each bottle of the 6-pack individually with corresponding clues.

Ideally the game is held outside in nice weather, however if it is a big enough property or house, the game can also be played indoors. The game itself is not rowdy, however it is a little different than a childhood scavenger hunt.

Once the players get their first clue, the first bottle they find will contain the second clue, and so on. The adult twist to the game is this: you must drink the entire bottle of beer before moving on to your next clue.

Once you have collected (and consumed) all six bottles, you will race to a pre-determined finish line. This is a necessary task of the game to avoid a tie or not have a clear view of all the players.

If anyone makes it through the entire 6-pack to race to the finish, chances are the host will want to have a camera phone ready. The fun of the game is drinking beer that fast is likely to impair your ability to function and decipher the clues, allowing the hilarity to begin.

Please play responsibly.

3. Escape the ______

Most major cities have escape room and team building games that are perfect for a group of friends on an otherwise boring weekend. What better way to bond than to play to each of your strengths and work together to solve a mystery.

If it is close to Halloween time, there is a good chance for some added theatrics to make the experience even more enjoyable. You can also scour Facebook events near you, search for escape room games and find an event almost immediately.

Another great plan is to create your own escape game – anywhere you are! There are several games you can purchase to create your own experiences, or just one that is as easy to set-up as a board game and can be played anywhere!

These games can be played by children of all ages, and it is an entertaining and fun way to sharpen your problem-solving skills and just have fun with friends.

Concluding Thoughts

It can be hard to come up with activities to do with friends. Although you may all like similar things, there are no guarantees that whatever activity is chosen will be loved by all.

However, by thinking outside of the box about what you and your friends would normally do, it can add a little adventure and become a story you will remember and tell fondly for years to come. Whatever activity you decide, remember to take a moment, and appreciate the memories you are creating with your friends.
