Birthday party games to get everyone hyped [Lively and fun birthday bash]

Indian-style game

Hilarious! Indian-style Game! [Party Game]

Everyone draws a prompt sheet one by one and sticks it on their forehead.

Then, while chatting, each person tries to avoid saying the NG word written on their own forehead.

If someone says it, they lose at that moment.

Preparing a penalty game for the loser might make it more exciting.

Chubby Bunny Game

I tried playing the Chubby Bunny game!

Put one marshmallow in your mouth and say “Chubby Bunny.” Do this one person at a time and repeat.

Since you keep the marshmallows in your mouth without chewing, it becomes harder and harder to speak.

Anyone who can no longer say “Chubby Bunny” is out, and the last person remaining wins!

hand spinner

[Birthday Party] We tried a hand spinner showdown! First time using a hand spinner ★

A simple toy with built-in ball bearings that you can watch spin.

Let’s use this fidget spinner—which also became a big hit in Japan—to decide a winner.

The rules are simple: compete to see who can keep theirs spinning the longest.

Rather than making it a standalone game, it’s recommended to use it for things like deciding the order of play.

Since spin time varies greatly between individual units, choosing which fidget spinner to use is an important point.

It’s a good idea to have a variety of different types on hand.

Pie Tower Battle

Raise the excitement sky-high! A mega pie tower—and... a punishment game! [Banquet games, party games, year-end parties, after-parties!]

Squeeze the pie-throwing cream sold at variety shops onto a paper plate, and whoever can build a taller tower within the time limit wins.

The loser gets the pie thrown at them as a penalty.

It’s also fun to try sabotage—like blowing on your opponent’s pie to make it collapse—while carefully stacking your own tower higher without knocking it over!

two-person robe (Nininbaori): a comedic act where two people share one kimono-like garment, with the rear person acting as the arms for the front person

Japanese Party Act: 'Ninin Baori'

It’s the Japanese traditional performance called “Nininbaori” (two-person haori).

Two people wear one large haori together: the person in back sticks their hands out through the sleeves, while the person in front pokes their head out.

The person in back feeds the person in front and it usually turns into a hilarious mess.

The messier it gets, the more exciting it is!

Spit it out! Ping-Pong

To the limits of your lung capacity! Blow them out! Ping-Pong Balls [Party Games for Banquets, Parties, Year-End Gatherings, and After-Parties!]

It’s a game where you use only your own breath to blow a ping-pong ball out of a bowl.

Since it tests your lung capacity, if you blow too hard, you might choke and end up suffering—making it a bit of a self-sabotage game.

Aim for victory by judging the right spot and angle to blow from.

Zabuton stacking showdown

Tsumu-Tsumu Cushion [Party Game / Banquet Game]

This is done in pairs.

One person sits in seiza, and the other slides a cushion underneath during the moment the seated person jumps.

You compete to see how many cushions you can stack.

Making it a team competition could really liven things up.

The balance of the person in seiza is key.
