Quiz: Let’s Aim for the Sweet Spot!
When it comes to games that liven up a party, “Quiz Ii-sen Ikimasho” is highly recommended! Since it’s a number-guessing quiz with no single correct answer, everyone can enjoy it.
The rule is simple: the person whose guess is closest to the average of all participants’ numbers wins.
It sounds simple, but it’s surprisingly deep.
The psychological battle of trying to read others’ guesses really heats up! In team play, you might even see unexpected sides of your friends that you don’t normally notice.
It tests luck, reasoning, and negotiation skills, so it’s sure to be a hit at any gathering.
Plus, it’s easy to get started, which is part of the charm!
Gesture Game
No party is complete without a gesture game! In this game, you act out a prompt with your body and the audience guesses—adding alcohol into the mix makes it twice as fun.
Unexpected ideas and unique expressions keep the laughs coming nonstop! Split a big group into teams for head-to-head rounds to boost the energy and sense of unity even more.
It’s fun for all ages, so it’s perfect for breaking the ice in a group of people meeting for the first time.
If you want to make the after-party a blast, be sure to include a gesture game!
Gesture guessing game
Prepare a sheet of paper with the prompt written on it and show it only to the person who will do the gestures.
Everyone watches the gestures and guesses what they’re doing.
Of course, they must not speak—gestures only.
It gets even more exciting if you make it a team competition.
Stocking Sumo
Stocking sumo, which comedians often do on TV.
Prepare two pairs of stockings, tie the foot parts together, put the body part over your face, and tug against each other—the one whose stocking comes off loses.
Your face ends up looking ridiculous, so it’s a game that makes you want to lose quickly and get it over with (lol).
Slipper relay
Line up in a row, and at the starting signal pass the slipper from the first person to the last using only your feet.
You must not use your hands or drop it.
If you do, you have to start over.
It gets exciting if you make it a team competition and a timed race.
Blowing on the tissue
It’s a game where you blow on a tissue and compete to see how long you can keep it floating.
Keeping your head tilted up the whole time gets tiring, and the tissue moves unpredictably, so it’s pretty tough.
In the end, lung capacity is what makes the difference!

Tasting Game
It’s that game you often see on variety shows where you wear a blindfold and a nose plug, take one bite of some food, and try to guess what it is.
It looks easy, but once you plug your nose you really can’t taste anything.
Just get a goofy eye mask ready and hype it up!
