Top 5 Fun Ways to Use Tarot Cards for Entertainment at Home

Tarot and…fun? Why actually not? While most people associate the deck with ancient spiritual practices, the truth is that this divination tool can also be a stunning source of fun and entertainment that you can enjoy…from the comfort of your own home! 

It can be anything, from hosting a game night and using cards to catch a creative muse to hanging out with friends and solo evenings – The Empress, The Moon, The Fool, or any other card can add a pinch of amusement to your activities. Here’s how. 

#1 Throw a Tarot-Themed Dinner Party

It doesn’t matter if you’re a skilled reader, a frequent querent, or just a fan of a mystical allure the cards are famous for – you can host a dinner party! The event will be a mix of a dinner party and the magic of the ancient séance.

To have a perfect tarot-themed soirée, make sure to come up with the right menu. Include desserts with edible skulls, cocktails made with absinthe, and other yummy stuff you and your invitees prefer. Decorate your room to make it both elegant and spooky.

Do not forget to create the divination-themed playlist, if possible. If you all seem to have pretty much different tastes in music, consider instrumental tunes. They’re neutral and won’t make your invitees argue about what song should be put on next. Crystal balls, candles, black velvet tablecloth, dried herbs and flowers, moon-shaped lights – all these elements will help you create a mysterious atmosphere.

#2 Storytelling Game

If you and your friends radiate creativity, use your talents to host a real storytelling game night. Make sure to send invitations in advance and when the gang is there, take turns to pull cards. Now, create your own unique story on the basis of the card.

The next person who will draw a card will add a sentence or two (based on their card) to the narrative you’ve started. In the end, you are definitely going to laugh a lot over the hilarious story you all make. Here’s a quick guide to the process: first, pick someone to shuffle the deck and place all the cards on the table face down.

Pull a card and start your narrative based on the theme of it. The next person sitting next to you will take the other card to use it to continue the story. When all the participants are done with their parts, read the story and…enjoy!

#3 Yes or No Trivia Game

If you’re looking for a tarot-themed home entertainment that will be fun for those who know tarot from A to Z and beginners, consider the ‘Yes or No’ trivia.

The game starts when you (or someone else) shuffle the tarot deck and ask the question that calls for a Yes or No answer.

Now, let the other player draw a card, check out its imagery, and interpret it as a Yes or No answer. Tell the players that they shouldn’t use their logic but rather give their interpretations based on the card’s symbolism and their intuition. The best thing?

Silly questions are very (very!) welcome! ‘Will my cat rule the world?’, ‘Will I build an empire?’, ‘Will my dog become the next president of the United States of America?’, ‘Will I meet Brad Pitt?’ and other requests will make your evening full of fun.

#4 Charades

There’s no doubt that you know classy charades very well. Now, how about adding a tarot-themed twist to the good old game?

The best thing about this type of entertainment is that it can help you learn the cards. Tarot card readers on online reading websites like TarotAtlas recommend engaging with the cards meaningfully as often as possible.

In the form of a game, you’ll find it easier to learn the basics. Plus, charades are just perfect for parties! It requires all participants to act out the meaning of a tarot card that they draw. The task of others is to guess what card it is. Here’s a quick guide.

First, you shuffle the deck and pull a random card. No need to speak at this point – you have to act out the imagery or the meaning of the card. When you’re done with your ‘performance,’ ask your friends to guess what card you were ‘talking about.’ Did someone succeed? Yay! You’ve got the winner.  

#5 Scavenger Hunt in a Tarot Style

All the fans of interactive games, rejoice! With a tarot deck at hand, you and your buddies can have some fun while engaged in a tarot scavenger hunt.

Here’s what you have to do: hide all clues that are related to tarot all over your place and ask your guests to solve each in order to get close to the big-big prize. To make sure y’all are going to enjoy the process, it is necessary to pick a mystery or a theme that the team will try to solve.

Choose the best locations possible for the tarot cards and add a challenge or a special clue to every card. When a player reveals a card, his or her task is to interpret the message/meaning of it to proceed to the next step.

Once the last clue is found – we know the winner! Before the game starts, make sure to prepare a decent reward so that the ‘battle’ is 100% worth it.
