Well … if it’s for drinks, or Uno or a seance wouldn’t the hosts have said that too? It’s super bizarre that the OP actually doesn’t know why they’re going to this persons house, and thinks it odd to ask for clarification.
Eating and playing games are not quite the same thing.
Are they really that different though?

Also, did the invitation specify some sort of activity? Like, come over to play pool, watch TV, for a party??
No context...

You need to ask. We have friends who eat at 5 and friends who eat at 8.

Thank you for hosting - to clarify, is this for dinner or after dinner cocktails? Either is great.” Or something along those lines. We’re all a bit out of practice in socializing because of Covid. Your hosts should have made it clear what the invite is for.
I agree. No need to dance around the issue.
Some people eat dinner later and 7pm is pre-dinner cocktails.
