Detty December House Party Games in Lagos: Rentals and Real Prices
Planning a house party for 20 to 40 people in Lagos this Detty December costs between NGN 58,000 and NGN 185,000 in game rentals, depending on whether you want a casual living room setup or a full outdoor compound layout. Card games start at NGN 500, table games from NGN 35,000, and larger outdoor items up to NGN 60,000. Because December dates across Lagos book out rapidly, securing your setup early ensures your party has the exact energy you want.
What Games to Rent for 20 to 40 Guests in a Lagos House
When hosting 20 to 40 people at a house party, your guests will naturally split into different pockets of energy throughout the night. Some will gather around the bar, others will settle onto the sofas, and a loud, competitive group will claim the patio or compound. The secret to a seamless party flow is blending quick icebreakers with high-energy physical games and a central showstopper table.
Card and Fast-Paced Tabletop Games
Everyone already knows Whot, which is why dropping two packs at NGN 500 each onto the main lounge table breaks the ice before anything else does. Gidi Words at NGN 8,000 picks up effortlessly once the drinks start flowing, while Taboo at NGN 8,000 keeps teams of four to six locked in hilarious banter on the couches. For local stories, loud debates, and unfiltered laughter, Never Have I Ever 9ja Version at NGN 5,000 always sparks a scene. Set up These Cards Will Get You Drunk for NGN 5,000 right next to your cups and ice buckets to keep the energy moving around the bar area.
Drinking and Lawn Games
If your house or short-let has a compound, balcony, or backyard, outdoor games keep the main living room from feeling overcrowded. Our Beer Pong set at NGN 35,000 provides the classic foldable table setup for serious competitive tournaments. Setting up Limbo at NGN 20,000 brings pure chaos and photo-worthy moments once the DJ ramps up the beat later in the night. Medium Jenga at NGN 15,000 delivers intense, quiet tension followed by explosive reactions when the tower finally crashes, while our Axe Throw Set at NGN 15,000 gives guests an engaging target game to test their aim outdoors.
High-Impact Table Games
If you want guests lining up for winner-stays-on matches all night, an active table game acts as the central engine of your party. Our 5ft Foosball Table at NGN 60,000 generates non-stop two-on-two intensity. Our 5ft Air Hockey Table at NGN 50,000 plugs into any standard wall outlet, making it a crowd favorite for covered terraces or garage lounges. You can also opt for our 6ft Foldable Snooker Table at NGN 50,000 to give guests a classic, familiar game to gather around between drinks.

What Runs Out First in December
Every major celebration in Lagos happens within the exact same three-week window between mid-December and early January, meaning the most popular event games are requested for the exact same key dates.
Foosball and Air Hockey Tables: Active, multi-player tables sell out earliest. Once high-demand dates like December 24th, 25th, or December 31st approach, table game availability drops significantly.
Beer Pong and Limbo: Because almost every host planning an outdoor or compound party requests these two crowd-pleasers, orders fill up rapidly by early November.
Delivery Slots: Navigating traffic along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Victoria Island, or Third Mainland Bridge during peak December requires precise timing. Scheduled delivery slots are capped daily to ensure every setup arrives on time before guests pull up.
Locking in your game selection by mid-November ensures your party gets the full experience without having to settle for leftover options.
