Listen—we’ve all been there. There are times when we don't want to leave our house, but still want something fun to do for the night. Well, luckily for you there are plenty of nighttime activities for you to do in the comfort of your home. Whether you’re with your pals, your significant other, or if you’re riding solo, here is the perfect itinerary for your night in.

Going Solo? No problem.

Let's be honest with ourselves, sometimes the thought of being around anyone can be exhausting, and the only company you want to have is yourself—it's a natural thing. However, this doesn't mean that you can't have a fun night all to yourself.

Try Journaling or Reading

With #BookTok booming online, why not join in with all the bibliophiles and pick up a book. Whether you're into a juicy romance or are interested in an immersive fantasy world, you’re sure to find a book that'll have you up all night saying “just one more page.”

If reading isn’t your pace, try picking up a journal and get to know yourself more intimately with some shadow work. With tons of great prompts all over the internet, you'll surely be able to tune into your inner self and become one of your closest friends.

Let’s Play Dress-up!

Want an activity that is more playful? Why not play dress-up. There's always something truly entertaining about conjuring up some cute looks from your closet; all without the pressure of going out. This activity is a great way to experiment with your look outside of your typical aesthetic, as well as a fun and creative way to utilize your closet in ways you may not have thought to do.

Plus, it's a great opportunity to live out your modeling dreams and throw a little fashion show for yourself—not to mention all of the Instagram post opportunities.

The One Where they Stay In

Are you and your friends tired of going out every night to do your typical nighttime shenanigans? Well, why not spice it up with these at-home activities. Just like Ross, Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Pheobe your Friend(s) group can also make the best of having a night in.

How about a PowerPoint Night?

This one’s for the friend groups with an obscene sense of humor and a ton of creativity. First emerging from TikTok, this trend will have your whole squad rolling on the floor.

The basic premise is for each person to make—as you may have guessed—a PowerPoint presentation to have the rest of the group dying of laughter. The best part about it though is that you are able to pick whatever topic you want, the more creative the better. TikTok user @caitlinlatta and her friends had a lot of fun with their PowerPoint night and you can too.

Can’t Go Wrong with a Game Night!

Hosting a game night is a tried and true classic that guarantees you and your friends will have a good time. Whether you’re into the classics like poker, or you like the more comedic route of Cards Against Humanity, there are so many variations on game night that your friend group will surely find something that suits you.

If you’re into something more intense and interactive games such as the stress-filled spoons, or the paranoia-inducing game Mafia might be some fun ones to throw into the mix. Both of these games are fairly uncommon, and yet are very entertaining, not to mention the fact that they only require a deck of cards and maybe some spoons.

A Night in, Party for Two?

Of course, we can’t make a list of things to do for a night in without coming up with some ideas for all of the couples out there. If you and your partner are tired of watching movies and ordering food for a night in, give these two activities a try.

Cook Dinner From Scratch!

Cooking dinner for anyone is sure to be a romantic gesture, but why not spice it up? There is something so romantic about cooking, but trying your hand at making a home-cooked meal from scratch can add some flare to this—at times—basic activity.

You and your significant other can look up recipes for your favorite foods—whether it be a dessert or a main course meal—and work together to make the dish of your dreams. Not only is it a perfectly intimate way of connecting with your other half, but you also get a delicious reward at the end.

Dance Partyyyyy!!

The last, but certainly not least, indoor activity on this list is a dance party. If you just don't want to go out to the club, then why not bring the club to you?

Having a dance party with your significant other is one of the best ways to spend the night. By letting loose at home, you two can connect with each other and get some exercise; plus you, as the DJ, can play all of your favorite hits.

While all of these activities are categorized into groups, they can be used for almost any occasion with anyone.
