I love the idea of “word parties” because they are casual get-togethers that allow for socializing and conversation, but they also allow for creative word play.
Word parties are not for every occasion because of the way they are structured. There is no time limit, no set time limit, no set number of guests, and no set type of game. Instead, it is a relaxed gathering where people can just sit around and use their imagination. What happens is that people come together with ideas about how to play with words, and then the game begins. Word parties are much more than just a party, though.
Word parties are designed to encourage open, honest, and often very creative conversation. Word parties are also a great opportunity for the participants to not just share their ideas, but to use their own creativity. Word parties are an excellent way to engage with others who are into the same thing. Word parties are a great way to get everyone involved and talking to one another.

Word parties aren’t really social gatherings. They are rather like word-based video games. You can have any number of friends and games and you can play them together.
A word party is essentially a game where you gather around some topic and discuss it with friends and/or random strangers you meet. People play word parties in their homes, in coffee shops, in office lunch rooms, and in bars. People even have their own word parties where they play board games and talk about music.
Word parties have some interesting advantages over regular social gatherings: they are more interactive, more social, and more fun. But the downside is that they are more likely to be boring. People who don’t really know eachother can’t really get to know each other, and instead spend their time talking about what they are playing (or not playing).
Word parties are really fun to throw, but when you find yourself in a bunch of people who have nothing else to do on a holiday weekend, you might as well just go to a party where you can be the center of attention.
