MUSIC

Use streaming services or playlists made by others: There are plenty of pre-made playlists on music streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music that are perfect for game nights. You can also search for playlists made by others that fit the mood and theme you're going for.

If you're hosting a game night with friends, ask them for input on what type of music they would like to hear. This will help ensure that everyone enjoys the music and has a great time.

Ask a guest to provide the music or to be responsible for changing the music throughout the evening. 

Choose music that fits the theme of your games: If you're playing games with a specific theme, choose music that fits that theme. For example, if you're playing a game set in the 80s, consider choosing music from that era.

If you've been playing the same playlist for a while, and people start to lose interest in the music, it might be time to switch things up. You don't want the music to become repetitive or monotonous, as this can affect the overall energy and mood of the party.​

If you notice that people are starting to get antsy or restless, it might be time to change the music. This could be a sign that the current music isn't fitting the mood or atmosphere of the party

As the party or game night progresses, the energy in the room will naturally ebb and flow. If you notice that the energy has changed significantly, it might be time to change the music to match the new mood or atmosphere.

If you're playing music for dancing, pay attention to whether people are still on the dance floor or if they're starting to move away. This could be a sign that the music is no longer working for the crowd.

If guests start making requests for specific songs or genres, it might be a good idea to switch things up and play some of their requested music. This can help keep everyone engaged and excited about the music
