25 Fun And Crazy Things To Do With Your Best Friend
By: Priyanka Maheshwari Mon, 02 Sept 2024 11:00:04
There's nothing worse than spending a Saturday after a long work week with nothing to do. As adults, it can feel like every day is on repeat—escaping the office only to find yourself stuck in the same old routine. So why not shake things up and try something wild and fun with your best friend?
Instead of hitting the bar again or going on another shopping spree, why not do something totally out of character this weekend? There are countless exciting activities you can try, depending on how adventurous you’re feeling.
This weekend, create memories that you’ll look back on thirty years from now and say, "Can you believe we did that?"
You’re only young once—so if you’re going to do something crazy, now is the time. You don't want to look back and think, "I should have done ___."
Start crossing off items on your bucket list now, so you’re not full of regrets later.
# Go Skydiving
If you haven’t experienced skydiving, you haven’t truly lived. Skydiving requires a lot of courage for many, and it’s even better when you can prove you did it. What could be more thrilling to cross off your bucket list than jumping out of a plane? Find a reputable company and take the plunge.
# Go Bungee Jumping
Looking for an out-of-the-box idea for some wild fun with your best friend? Bungee jumping is even scarier than skydiving for some. Imagine bouncing alongside each other, screaming at the top of your lungs. Depending on what you jump off, it could be the ride of a lifetime, far more exhilarating than any roller coaster.
# Crash a Wedding
Show up after dinner, all dressed up, and enjoy a great time at someone else's expense. As long as you skip dinner, the drinks won’t cost the couple extra, and you’ll have a dance floor to show off your moves. The best part is coming up with a story to explain how you know the bride or groom—plan it ahead of time, or make it up as you go for added fun!
# Find a Famous Rock Band in Town
Rock bands need somewhere to stay after their performance, right? Spend the night hunting down your favorite band after a concert. With some research, you might discover where they’re staying. At worst, you could have a chance encounter; at best, you might find yourself in the middle of a party suite. How awesome would that be?
# Sneak Backstage at Your Favorite Concert
Though more challenging since 9/11, with careful planning and creativity, it might be possible to sneak backstage and meet your idol. This requires determination and resourcefulness, but if you pull it off, it’s one of the wildest things you can do with your best friend!
# Vegas, Baby!
An oldie but a goodie—what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! It could be one of the most memorable weekends of your life if you make it through unscathed.
# Track Down Your Crush
If you’ve been crushing on someone but haven’t had the courage to approach them, team up with a friend to find and woo them. This might not be the craziest idea, but it could lead to finding the love of your life—or at least putting an end to the pining. Use social media to track them down and just go for it.
# Train for a Marathon... and Run It!
This might be more than a weekend project, but it’s definitely a bucket list item for some. With a committed friend, you can accomplish something pretty extraordinary. After all, what’s crazier than running 26.2 miles? Celebrate together after crossing the finish line.
# Go Out Without a Cell Phone
Among all the wild things you can do with your best friend, this might not have crossed your mind. Head out into the world without a cell phone—no way to plan or communicate with the outside world. It’s crazy but true, forcing you to engage with the world around you.
# Create a Scavenger Hunt Around Town
Make a list of things you have to find or ask people for. Make it as wild as you want. At the end of the night, meet up with other groups to share stories about your crazy adventures and see what everyone managed to collect.
# Throw a Dart and Take a Trip
Set up a large map of the U.S. or the world, grab a dart, and throw it. Wherever it lands is where you’ll go for the weekend.
# Backpack Across Europe
This adventure takes more than a weekend, but with just a backpack and some curiosity, you can explore Europe on a budget. Do it while you’re young before life gets in the way. It’s time to get international with your list of wild things to do with your best friend!
# Hit the Thrift Shops, Assemble a Crazy Outfit, and Wear It to the Clubs
How daring are you? Get some velour sweats or granny pants and hit the bars. At least you’ll know that anyone you meet isn’t just interested in your looks or fashion sense.
# Go to Disney
You’re never too old to be a kid again. Disney is one of those experiences that shouldn’t be missed. Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been before, going with your best friend adds a whole new level of fun.
# See the Seven Wonders
Plan something big and commit to seeing the seven wonders of the world, one at a time. It might take up several weekends, but if you don’t start now, they’ll remain wonders for a lifetime.
# Go Camping Without a Camper
Grab a tent, sleeping bags, and maybe a case or two of beer, and head out to camp in a remote spot. There’s something liberating about sleeping under the stars and sharing a campfire. For city dwellers, this might seem like a crazy idea, but for country folks, it’s just another night outdoors.
# Try to Break a Guinness World Record
Why not aim for immortality by breaking a world record? There are countless records to attempt. Spend time researching and find one you can break together. How amazing would it be to have your names etched in history?
# Design Your Own Pub Crawl
Pub crawls are great, but they don’t always include your favorite spots. For a wild night, design your own pub crawl. It doesn’t have to be in your hometown—maybe the craziest part is doing it in an unfamiliar city.
# Karaoke in a Bar That Doesn’t Have Karaoke
Bring your own portable karaoke setup and find a spot in the bar to have some fun. If the bar owner is cool with it, you won’t have to wait your turn to sing your favorite songs.
# Try the Polar Bear Club Challenge
This is one of the craziest things you can do with your best friend—take a dip in freezing water during the winter. Just be careful, as it can be dangerous. Capture the moment on camera to remember the look on each other’s faces when you hit the icy water.
# Go Streaking
Run through an event or gathering, but keep it a surprise so no one has time to grab a camera. The key is to run fast enough to get the thrill without anyone getting too good a look. Be smart, though—you don’t want to end up with a public indecency charge on your record!
# Sneak Into Multiple Movies
This might not be the wildest thing, but pay for one movie and sneak into several others. Make it an all-day event, watching all the new releases. Or turn it into a contest to see how many you can get through before you’re caught or can’t take anymore.
# Scuba Diving
It might require a fantastic vacation as well, but it’s worth it!
# Cliff Jumping
Cliff jumping is similar to bungee jumping, but instead of bouncing back, you plunge into the water. See who’s brave enough to go first, or even go at all.
# Hijack a Yoga Class
If yoga isn’t your thing, gather a group of friends and crash a yoga class. It might not be the craziest idea, but watching your inflexible friend try to hold poses is sure to be hilarious. The other participants might not appreciate it, but who cares? Not so crazy, but definitely funny!
