Parlor Games

Parlor Games

Experience art in a whole new way . . . by ferociously competing with friends and Frye visitors! 

Set against the colorful backdrop of Frye Parlor x Jayme Yen, Parlor Games offers a fun and easy way to connect with fellow art lovers while “playing” with works from the Frye's collection. 

Riffing on the Victorian tradition of small-group indoor games, this contemporary take reimagines familiar favorites with an artful Frye twist—featuring art from the permanent collection and selections by Jonathan Lasker. Test your drawing skills, memory, and more! No experience or materials are needed. Frye staff will guide you through each game, making it easy to jump in and play. 

No preregistration is required. Space is limited, so arrive early to secure your spot.

Things to know

  • Games are designed for groups of 3–6. Join a team or bring your own
  • Each round lasts about 5–10 minutes—pop in for one or stay the entire time!
  • Stop by MariPili at Café Frieda for happy hour drinks and bites to fuel your competitive side.
