Banquet and Party Games That Liven Up the After-Party [2026] (31–40)
What’s inside the box?
It’s that game you often see on TV variety shows where a box has holes on both sides, and you stick your hands in and guess what’s inside just by touch.
When it’s something slimy or cold and you can’t tell what it is, it’s a little scary.
But that actually makes it more exciting!
Paper Balloon Battle
It’s a battle game where you wrap paper balloons around your head or arms and use soft objects to hit and pop your opponent’s paper balloons! Soft items like toy hammers or swords would be ideal, don’t you think? It could also be fun to play in a tournament format.
Telephone game on the back
Back-of-the-body telephone is a perfect game to liven up an afterparty! Everyone lines up, and the person at the front writes the prompt with their finger on the next person’s back.
It looks simple, but it’s surprisingly deep.
Because it tests communication skills and powers of observation, a natural sense of unity emerges.
If you use drawings as well as letters, it gets even funnier and the atmosphere really picks up.
That said, some people may be uncomfortable with physical contact, so don’t forget to consider choosing a different game.
This is a game anyone can enjoy regardless of age, and it’s highly recommended as an icebreaker for afterparties!
Ring Passing Game
Tie a string to make a large loop, line up in a row holding hands, and pass the loop along from one end to the other until it reaches the last person.
The team whose loop reaches the goal first wins.
You must not use your hands or let go of the hands you’re holding.
Balloon popping battle game
It’s a game where you tie strings to inflated balloons, fasten them to both of your ankles, and try to pop other people’s balloons while protecting your own.
The person whose balloons remain unpopped until the end wins.
It could also be fun to attach a lot of balloons, like 2–3 on one foot.

Balloon Tape Peeling Game
The Balloon Tape-Peeling Game is a magical party-boosting game! You stick tape on a moderately inflated balloon, and the thrill at the moment of peeling it off is unbeatable.
By cleverly mixing short and long pieces of tape, you get surprising twists that send everyone into a frenzy! It delivers both tension and release, instantly elevating the vibe at any after-party.
People jump at the pop of a bursting balloon or get nervous when the tape won’t come off easily… Sharing those ups and downs with friends makes it perfect for building camaraderie.
It’s fun for all ages and truly a savior for any party!
Who’s drinking?
You prepare drinks and mix in just one different drink, then guess who is drinking that one.
For example, if there are five people, four cups are water and one is alcohol—who is the one drinking the alcohol? Variations include oolong tea and oolong highball, or lemon water and vinegar, and so on.
