How to Host a Tier List Night with Friends
Turn rankings into a social event: a simple format for a fun, argument-filled evening.
By Tier List Maker Team ·
Tier list nights are part game night, part debate club. All you need is a screen, some snacks and strong opinions.
Before everyone arrives
- Choose three or four topics. Mix easy ones (“snacks on the table tonight”) with spicy ones (“every film we’ve watched together”).
- Prepare the items for each topic so you can load them instantly.
The format
- Silent round. Everyone makes their own list on their phone — the tool works well on mobile.
- Reveal. Share screens one at a time.
- Debate. For each item with the biggest disagreement, the highest and lowest rankers get thirty seconds each to make their case.
- Group list. Build a consensus list together on the big screen.
Make it a tradition
Export the group list each time and keep them in a shared album. Looking back at last year’s rankings is half the fun.
House rules worth having
- No changing your silent-round list after the reveal.
- Any item moved to F tier must be defended by someone.
- The host gets one veto per night.
