TLDR; What are some good party games that encourage getting to know each other and are not centered around drinking?

A year ago I had a great party. I split all participants (maybe 16 people) into 4 teams and made a 3 game tournament which was very appreciated. This year I am hoping to replicate the good vibe we had, but I want new games.

I am now asking you; What are some good party games?

Criterias:

  • Low or no amount of randomness (to keep things competitive)
  • Reasonably easy to acquire the materials for
  • Possible to do as a team
  • Encourages interaction, either within the team, between teams or both
  • Should not be centered around drinking

The Jackbox Party Packs are good for groups up to 8. Sometimes 10, sometimes 6, its game to game dependant.

"Werewolf" type games can be expanded to larger groups, its a social deduction and bluffing game where players are slowly eliminated and in turn vote out other players they deem the hidden enemy
