If you’ve ever apologised when someone bumped into you, or smiled politely while dying inside, this one’s for you. Very British Problems is a brilliantly awkward party game that turns everyday British habits into a hilarious guessing game. Based on the TV series and social media hit, this game is all about figuring out what your friends would really do in those wonderfully uncomfortable situations we all know too well.
How to Play
One player becomes "The Brit" and reads out a Very British Problem from the card — anything from awkward encounters at the bus stop to classic British weather dilemmas. Everyone else secretly writes down what they’d do in that situation. The Brit mixes all the answers with the correct one from the card and reads them out. Then it's time to guess who said what! Match the answers to the people around the table — and try to keep a straight face while you do it.
There’s strategy, improvisation, and lots of awkward laughs as you try not to reveal your own answer… or guess the card’s true one. Score points for matching answers and move around the board — the first one to reach the finish square wins (unless someone interrupts with another apology).
Why Rent This Game
This game is perfect for a night in with friends or family who appreciate dry humour, awkward social interactions, and good old-fashioned British banter. It’s light-hearted, relatable, and a great way to get everyone laughing — especially when you realise how similar we all are when it comes to avoiding confrontation and talking about the weather. If you love games that spark conversation and don’t take themselves too seriously, this is a cracking choice.
