You can arrange championships in selected arenas. I recommend both the game itself and the game mode for several people.

Crazy finger kungfu game. The stones on the screen change color when touched. Each player has their own color. The goal is to make as many stones of your color as possible.

Series Worms
The App Store has 3 different games from the Worms series. In multiplayer mode, each player controls their own team of worms. You need to destroy all rivals.

In a company of 2-4 people
Fingers (The Magic Touch)
An advanced version of Fingle with more levels. But the main difference is that the game supports solo mode, 2, 3 or 4 people on one iPad.

A game for 2-4 people where players compete in throwing balls for accuracy. 3 game modes: 2 in real time and 1 - throws alternately. Probably one of the best party games on the iPad.
Bumper Basher
Another game from the creators of Marble Mixer. It turned out no worse. You have to manage the cars that play football, collect fruit around the site, crush each other, play catch-up. Cool entertainment.
King of Opera
King of Opera is from Finland. It was in the harsh cold that the idea came to combine the incompatible: opera and iPad. It turned out very fun game that needs to be felt. Not all companies go with a bang, but if the right group of people has gathered, then they cannot be stopped. Who is the King of Opera?
Multiponk
A beautiful game, a cross between ping-pong and arkanoid, with many additional bonuses and complications. The latter can be really stressful, especially in combination (invisibility of half of the field, speeding up the ball + reducing the size of your platform). There are several game modes from children's, where the balls barely fly, to crazy, where it is sometimes not clear what is happening on the field.
space team
Cool game for parties. Each person picks up a gadget with an application: this is his unique control panel in spaceship. Everyone shouts commands to others and tries to listen to what they shout to them and carry out other people's (or even their own) commands. Crazy game, crazy gaming experience.
Danetki
A great way to pass the time is to make a gift to the company. Danetka is a non-standard question to which everyone must find an answer. The facilitator only answers yes or no. Sometimes you can break the brain ... I recommend companies of people with non-standard thinking or just lovers of quality puzzles.
