Entertainment ideas for year-end and New Year parties: games everyone can enjoy together

Aburi Karubi Game

“Aburi Karubi” game among high school girls is trending

This is a game where you try to say the tongue twister “aburi karubi” without stumbling.

If the previous person says it once, the next person has to say it at least twice; then the next person must say it at least as many times as the person before them, or they lose.

It’s also fine for the first player to start from 10 times.

If you’re good at it, it can be fun to rack up a lot of repetitions on your turn!

Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi

Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi

I bet some of you had a blast with this back in your school days! It’s a group game.

People call out “1 gnocchi,” “2 gnocchi,” and so on, in no particular order while making a gesture.

If your timing overlaps with someone else’s, or if you don’t manage to make a call by the end, you lose.

A hot topic on Omoshiro-so! Hyokkori-han [skit]—moves you can’t help but imitate! [Yoshimoto Young Performers Festival]

With a catchy BGM, the adorable comedian Hyokkori-han pops out from nowhere.

Try copying his costume and hairstyle, then suddenly appear from an unexpected spot at the party venue! And of course, don’t forget that iconic BGM when you perform! It tends to go over well when someone cute—like a new employee or a lovable “teasing target” type—takes on the challenge.

Chug a cola and 〇〇

I’ll name all 23 wards of Tokyo without burping after drinking cola! #SuperIllusionShow #Challenge #HikingWalking #ShortSketch #AmazingSkill

How about the “chug-a-Coke and say ___” bit for hiking-walking? It’s a gag where you chug a Coke and then say a train station name.

It’s hard to hold back a burp, which makes it unintentionally funny.

As long as you have a carbonated drink, you can try it right away, so it might be good to keep in mind as an easy party trick.

Some people might find it a little crude, but you can enjoy it as a kind of deadpan act where the fun is in “saying it all the way through without burping.”

Outrodon

[Super Hard] A brutal penalty game in the AKB48 outro quiz… [Yuu’s brought-in企画]

It’s a game where you listen to a song’s “outro”—the ending—and guess the title.

Since we hear outros less often than intros, guessing from the outro is pretty tough.

A “pre-chorus quiz,” where you listen to the section before the chorus and guess the song title, would be fun too.

A magic trick for guessing an iPhone’s passcode

The method for easily figuring out someone else’s iPhone password was insanely risky [hack]

This is a new magic trick where you use the iPhone’s calculator to guess someone’s passcode.

As long as the passcode is numeric, you can figure it out no matter how many digits it has.

The steps are a bit involved, so it might be hard to memorize, but if you pull it off, it’s sure to be a hit!
