Groundhog
For parents only, get some friends around for dinner and all guess a time between 5 seconds and 30 seconds. Then switch the WiFi off and then time how long it takes for your teenage kids to make it from their bedroom to the router. Closest time wins

A variant on Eynsham's ...
Ten people sit down in a room, each with a bottle of whisky.
After drinking their bottles of whisky, each tries to remember what comes next.

Who am I? Each player at the party must remain in ‘character’ (film, book, etc) until guessed by another. Or post it notes on your back, players work out who they are.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Another variant on Eynsham's. From recent experience with family at a US Thanksgiving...
Ten people sit down in a room, each with a bottle of whisky.
After drinking their bottles of whisky, each tries to get a Google Home Mini to play their choice if music at the same time.

My pet Dalek.
passing around the room starting with the oldest..insert an adjective from A to Z
My pet Dalek is an .... an Angular Dalek
next person
My pet Dalek is a Bendy Dalek
Etc... to Z ... if a player gets it wrong, they have to stand up and act like a Dalek (pretend to hover around the room shouting exterminate, exterminate). This person then restarts from A.. but they cannot repeat an adjective and nor can any subsequent person - if they do then they have to act like a Dalek and start again.
..Ad infinitum to Z
My pet Dalek is a Zippy Dalek (you get my drift)
(This is my variation of Moriaty's cat)

Seratonin
Stand an empty tissue box on it's side on the ledge of a mantlepiece (or kitchen table).
The hole that the tissues came out of should be facing the room.
Stand at the other side of the room and see how many marshmallows you can get into the box in 1 minute.
Take turns and see who can get the most in the box.
Other items to be thrown could be popcorn, malteasers or any small sweet.
Winner gets to eat the contents

After Christmas dinner, everyone puts objects in their paper hat (while they are still wearing it). The winner is the person with the most objects after one minute. If their hat splits during the game, then they are out.

Have done this a few times at the work Christmas dinner: using only your finger nails cut a pattern out of one side of a folded paper hat to make a recurring shape when you open it up (a bit like a reverse snow flake). Everyone has to guess what you were trying to make.
I have photographic evidence to prove it's a real game.
Christmas trees, stars, baubles are all doable if you haven't cut your nails lately.

Geordiesanta - Someone I know has become famous in orthopaedic surgery/A&E circles because he broke his femur playing the cereal box game as a fit 21 year old. Must have twisted it in just the wrong way.

Cereal box piñata. A full box of cereal is suspended from a light fitting. A designated player is blindfolded and their task is to open the box using only a kitchen implement, (roll of cling film works well).
The game is over when a responsible adult finds you and says “CLEAR THIS F*CKING MESS UP!”
