Celebrate Father’s Day with the gift of games

This Father’s Day, add to the socks and mugs and give Dad something that brings laughter, connection, and quality time: a great game. Whether your dad is a strategic thinker, a fast-talker, or just loves a bit of light-hearted chaos, there’s a perfect game to suit his style. And the best part? It’s a gift the whole family can enjoy together.

For dads who enjoy clever clues and deduction, Similo is a brilliant choice. This cooperative game has players giving and interpreting visual clues to guess the secret character, and it's great for building teamwork. If your dad has a sharp eye and quick reflexes, Spot It! is an energetic matching game that brings out competitive fun in both kids and adults.

Trio is ideal for those who love logic and memory challenges. It’s a fast-paced card game where players race to collect sets of three with subtle strategy involved—simple to learn, but surprisingly deep. If your family thrives on quick thinking and laughter, 5 Second Rule is a hilarious game that challenges players to name three things in just five seconds—cue the silly answers and bursts of laughter.

And for pure, unpredictable fun, there’s Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. This quirky, quick-reaction game is chaotic in the best way, perfect for dads who enjoy fast, silly gameplay that gets everyone giggling.

“Games are a fantastic Father’s Day gift because they create moments of real connection,” says Philip Galliford, spokesperson for Solarpop. “They bring generations together, spark conversation, and make memories that last far beyond the day itself.”

Whether it’s game night after dinner or a Sunday afternoon spent indoors, giving Dad a game means giving him what he really wants: time well spent with the people he loves.
