I added a first draft. I'm sure someone can make it better.

The Venn diagram specifically says my birthday party. Barmar (talk) 00:01, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I can't be the only person who thinks I'd like to go to that party. Angel (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Competitions are not uncommon at parties. E.g. "pin the tail on the donkey". Barmar (talk) 00:01, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I assume the "not fun" for others part is trivia, specifically geography trivia. 172.70.206.163 01:05, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
I am clearly Randall. I definitely cannot organise parties. The last BBQ I tried to organise, for the neighbours, was pre-Millenium. The weather did not cooperate and the neighbours moved away within only 10-15 more years!
(I also haven't even had a birthday party since the early '80s, and haven't minded missing the stressfulness of the occasion at all.)
Oh, and of course I do love a good map-based problem. 141.101.99.32 01:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Why are there no examples of party games in the other 3 quadrants?

Am I missing something important? For the other 3 quadrants, why are there no examples of party games that may be enjoyed/not enjoyed. Eg; Squid Game (not enjoyed by anyone), TenPin Bowling (probably enjoyed by everyone). Beechmere (talk) 02:09, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Beechmere

Less is more? There's three things. Two different 'party zones' that pretty much are the same thing, except for slight birthday-boy/host differences in emphasis, and the party that happens, which is a self-indulgent planned activity that lies entirely outside those. :There are probably an infinite number of other 'party game spots' to place, but I think it's funny enough to show 'reality doesn't match theory' in just the one highly specific way. YMMV, but that's my interpretation. 172.70.90.173 03:22, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
