  • Play the hits of 2000

    Fill the playlist with the biggest hits of 2000, as Billboard ranked them at year's end: Faith Hill's "Breathe," Santana and Rob Thomas on "Smooth," Santana's "Maria Maria," Joe's "I Wanna Know" and Destiny's Child's "Say My Name." Add Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want" and matchbox twenty's "Bent."

  • Name-that-tune rounds

    Play a short clip of each 2000 hit and have tables race to call out the title and artist. Whoever sings the next line scores an extra point.

  • A Y2K countdown

    The year opened with the Y2K scare, so stage a midnight countdown of your own. Set out noisemakers, a big countdown clock and a mock survival kit with a flashlight, canned snacks and a floppy disk.

  • Dress code: 2000

    Ask everyone to come as the look of the year: butterfly clips, frosted tips, bandanas, puka shell necklaces and velour tracksuits. A Survivor-style buff or a Gladiator costume earns bonus points.

  • A tribe challenge

    Split the room into two tribes for a Survivor-style relay with a blindfolded obstacle course and a trivia round. The winning tribe earns an immunity necklace and the first slice of cake.

  • A 2000 movie night

    Choose a favorite from the year, such as Gladiator, Erin Brockovich, X-Men or How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and let the honoree pick the snacks.

  • A console corner

    Set up a corner with a PlayStation 2, or run The Sims on a laptop, and let guests take turns building a household in the style of 2000.

  • Guess the 2000 price

    Write a gallon of milk, a stamp and a dozen eggs on cards and ask guests to name the 2000 price. The prices section above has the answers.
