What games can I play with friends in the confined space of the seating on a long flight? [closed] - Happy man in white t shirt and jeans with closed eyes and game pad showing yes gesture after winning and lying on bed near girlfriend at home

Background

Imagine 8 people, around 24-26, book a 14 hour flight somewhere for vacation. They are seated in 2 rows of 4 seats in the middle of the plane, so there is no strangers in between any of them. It is also in economy so there is not that much space in between each seat. These 8 people prefer not to use the in flight entertainment or carry laptops/tablets onto a plane. Instead, they like to chat and play games with each other.

Question

Based on the way they are seated, is there a game that allows all 8 people to play? If not, what about a game for each row to play ? There are 4 people in each row.

Thinking about standard card games like Crazy 8's or Uno wouldn't work because of passing of cards and the amount of time it takes for a game to finish. I am open to any answer as long as there is an explanation why you picked that game.

Edit:

Didn't know there is no such thing as a 5 person middle isle. I change the number to 4 in a row therefore changing the total travelers to 8.

I don't necessarily agree with the "opinion based" flag since I am more concerned about games I can play in the confined space of the seating arrangement, and not "which games are best to play on a plane".



Best Answer

How about you play the game of meditation (here's a link from a quick google, if you insist on an app). Sit silently, breathe and focus on breath. Raise your levels of consciousness and everybody wins.

    Answer 2

    Inspired by this question, I would suggest a physical alternative, like who can do the most pushups or who can hold the plank position for the longest time.
