Fun two-player games recommended that you can play using conversation only

Restricted Shiritori

[Super Hard] The three-letter-ban shiritori game is insanely difficult but absolutely hype!!!

This is a game where you add rules to the classic wordplay game shiritori to increase the thinking element.

Start with simple additional rules like limits on the number of characters or time restrictions, and gradually raise the difficulty.

Once you’ve gotten used to it, combining multiple rules—like “three-letter animals”—could make it even more exciting.

You’re free to add rules at any timing, so it might be interesting to have the rules change as the game progresses.

Tongue twisters—everyone’s tried them at least once, right? They’re simple, but surprisingly exciting! Kids and adults alike can enjoy them anytime, anywhere, with anyone.

Plus, speaking them gives your tongue a workout and makes for great vocal practice—there are even health benefits.

Why not deepen your connection with someone while sharing smiles through tongue twisters? You’re sure to have a great time!

Yamanote Line game

On cold days, let’s play indoors! The “Yamanote Line Game” for small groups was way too brutal lol

The Yamanote Line game is where you answer things that fit a given theme to a rhythm.

It’s a party-game staple, but if you play it with just two people, you can enjoy a different kind of fun than usual.

With a small group your turn comes around quickly, so it turns into a game that demands focus on the theme and quick reflexes.

It’s exciting enough to simply decide a winner and loser, but it also sounds fun to set a wide range of themes and see how long you can keep the rally going.

Myanmar Game

[Trending with V6] Bursting into laughter at the 'Absolutely No Laughing' Myanmar game lol

Let’s play a hilarious game that’ll have everyone cracking up—the Myanmar Game.

Try saying “Myanmar.” It’s pretty hard to pronounce, right? In this game, two people take turns saying that tricky word back and forth.

Each time you switch turns, the number of times you have to say the word increases by one.

As you keep repeating “Myanmar, Myanmar,” your tongue starts getting all twisted, which makes it funny for both the speaker and the listeners, leading to fits of laughter.

It’s a high-energy game that’s impressive if you can say it smoothly.

Give the Myanmar Game a try when you have a little free time!

[Translation Function] A game you win when the sentence is complete

[No one knows] A way to play with Google Translate in 5 seconds that will make you crack up lololol

This is a fun game that uses Google Translate.

Use a voice translation service and record speech that sounds like Chinese.

If it turns into a comprehensible sentence, you win.

If it becomes a weird sentence or can’t be translated, you lose.

Because translation accuracy is high, even if you don’t know Chinese, just sounding like it can surprisingly get translated.

Don’t overthink it—aiming for that borderline where it might not translate could make it even more exciting.

Give it a try!

No-Katakana Game

Hilarious LOL—No-English Quiz! Without using any loanwords, University of Tokyo students unleashed a barrage of bizarre remarks through quizzes and chatter hahaha

The “no katakana” game is a fun activity that makes you realize how often you casually use katakana words.

For example, you might replace “smartphone” with “mobile phone,” or “television” with “electric image device,” making you think carefully about word choices.

Since you’re engaging your brain while conversing, it helps you improve your communication skills while having fun.

Coming up with words together also deepens your connection with the other person.

It’s easy to enjoy in short breaks or even during phone calls, so why not try adding it to conversations with friends, partners, or family? You’re sure to discover new words and the joy of conversation.

Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)

[Day 47 Part 1] I got to do an ogiri (improv wordplay game) with Kawahara from Tenjikunezumi.

Do you know “oogiri”? It’s a classic conversation game you can enjoy with someone else.

You think up funny answers to a prompt—kind of like improvising comedy bits together.

Unlike word-association games where you trade hints to guess an answer, the appeal here is that you can freely expand on the prompt with your own ideas.

It’s sure to liven things up with friends, partners, or even parents and kids! If you play with a touch of humor, you’ll feel much closer to each other.

You can enjoy it in little breaks or even during phone calls, so give it a try.

It’s a great brain workout and lets you get a feel for the other person’s sense of humor—two birds with one stone!
