Game nights, whether you're into video games, board games, or just watching sports, are always a wild card. One moment you’re in a full-blown yelling match, the next you’re doubled over in laughter, all thanks to a blue shell in Mario Kart, a last-minute property deal in Monopoly, or a savage draw eight in UNO.
On nights like these, the snack game is crucial. Go too fancy, and suddenly it’s a dinner party. Too messy, and everyone’s reaching for tissues instead of remotes. Hosting a game night can start to feel like a Goldilocks mission—finding that snack sweet spot that’s just right.
But let’s get real, who has the time?
This is where the humble kitchen savant, the air fryer, enters the chat. Quick, easy, and always reliable, it serves up snacks that hit the spot without hitting your schedule.
For Football Nights
This air-fried chicken is the ideal companion for the nights you and your friends decide to park yourselves in front of the couch and cheer for players who cannot hear you. Indulge in these easy-to-cook and delicious tenders that will keep you going through the night.
For Cluedo Nights
Picture you and your group, half-sprawled on the floor, hiding your notes and deducing who the killers are under the dim lighting. What better companion for this moody night than a decadent s'mores dip? This indulgent and warm dip will add to the cosiness of the night.
For Cricket Nights
Cheer for wins, and curse umpires while passing this giant bowl of loaded nachos around. Not only is this recipe highly customisable, but it’s also ideal for a big group of people.

What better snack to munch on while crying to the bank about your debt, or collecting rent from your unfortunate friend who landed at your hotel, than these vegan mac and cheese bites? Nostalgic and fun, like the classic board game, this is comfort in a bowl.
For UNO Nights
Nothing goes better than dodging a draw four and gifting your closest friends a draw eight than filling yourself up with these filled-up and cheesy pizza roll-ups. Highly customisable and easy to make, savour every bite while vying for first place.
For The Mario Kart Nights
Blue shell your besties and grab a quick bite of these much-loved Korean cheese buns. Easy, fun, and delicious, you can stuff your face while keeping your eyes on the screen—nailing tight turns and dodging sabotage. All the thrills of driving without ever needing a license. Start your weekend on a high note.
