Get to Know About First to Five
You know that moment when someone shouts out a category—“Name five things you’d pack for a beach trip!”—and suddenly everyone’s scrambling to be the first one to hit five answers? That’s exactly the buzz First to Five lives for. It’s this super-simple, lightning-fast party game where each round hands you a new prompt—could be movies with color in the title, foods you eat for breakfast, or famous landmarks—and you race against your friends to be the quickest brain on the block. There’s no complicated board, no piles of tokens, just a deck of prompt cards and that sweet, sweet roar of everyone shouting suggestions.
Each card lays out one challenge: come up with five valid items under 30 seconds, and you snag that card. Fail, and the next person gets a crack at it—or you can switch it up with a timer tweak if you want to dial the pressure higher. You keep going until someone—inevitably boasting about their lightning reflexes—collects five cards. It’s that satisfyingly simple: fast setup, faster rounds, and a scoreboard that’s literally just a stack of cards in someone’s hand.
What really makes it click is how it gets everyone laughing and maybe thinking a little outside their usual comfort zones. You’ll find yourself blurting out ridiculous answers just to stay ahead, which is half the fun. There’s nothing like the “aha” moment when you realize you’ve wasted precious seconds trying to remember a fruit name, or when someone’s wilder choice leaves you wondering how you missed it. Perfect for family nights, friend hangouts, or as a warm-up for bigger games, First to Five is all about speed, spontaneity, and those goofy little victories that come from being just a split second faster than the rest.
