Party games are games that are played at social gatherings to facilitate interaction and provide entertainment and recreation.

Categories include (explicit) icebreaker, parlour (indoor), picnic (outdoor), and large group games.

Other types include pairing off (partnered) games, and parlour races.

Different games will generate different atmospheres so the party game may merely be intended as an icebreakers, or the sole purpose for or structure of the party.

As such, party games aim to include players of various skill levels and player-elimination is rare.

Party games are intended to be played socially, and are designed to be easy for new players to learn.

PlayStation Home (which was also marketed and referred to as Home) was a virtual 3D social gaming platform developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's London Studio for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) on the PlayStation Network (PSN).

It was accessible from the PS3's XrossMediaBar (XMB).

Membership was free but required a PSN account.

Upon installation, users could choose how much hard disk space they wished to reserve for Home.

Development of the service began in early 2005 and it launched as an open beta on December 11, 2008.

Home remained as a perpetual beta until its closure on March 31, 2015.
