Name 5 (2013) is a fast-paced, shout-it-out party game where teams race against the clock to name five things that fit a given category. It could be five ice cream flavours, five superhero movies, or five things that squeak – you never know what’s coming next! It’s simple, fun, and full of energy, making it a great pick for family game nights, house parties, or even a rainy afternoon with the kids. The pressure of the timer and the randomness of the categories keep things lively and often hilarious.
How to Play
Split into teams of two or more. On your turn, roll the dice and move your team’s pawn around the board. Wherever you land, you’ll be given a category that matches the colour of your space. You then have 30 seconds to name five things that fit that topic. If you do it in time, you get to roll again and keep moving. Land on a special space and the rules change: Flip Flop has teams taking turns naming one item at a time, Wild lets the other team choose your category, All Play means both teams race to answer, and Double Down challenges you to name two full sets of five for a chance to move ahead quickly. First team to reach the finish wins – but it’s the laughter and quick thinking along the way that makes it fun.
Why Rent
Name 5 is a brilliant game to break the ice, get people laughing, and bring out everyone’s competitive side in the best way. It’s great for all ages, super easy to learn, and doesn’t take long to play, which makes it perfect for gatherings, sleepovers, or even classroom fun. No complicated rules, no long setup – just grab the cards, set the timer, and start shouting answers. Renting it gives you a chance to try something new without buying a whole new game, and it’s one of those games people always want to play “just one more round” of.
