Whack, Cover, Rock-Paper-Scissors!

[Banquet/Party Game] Hit, Cover, Rock-Paper-Scissors!

It’s such a classic game that it hardly needs explaining.

All you need are a paper fan and a helmet.

In pairs, face each other and, at the call of “Tatete kabutte rock-paper-scissors, go!” play rock-paper-scissors.

The winner whacks the loser with the paper fan.

It’s a surprisingly advanced game that requires quick reflexes and the ability to instantly judge win or loss.

You can improvise the equipment by rolling up a newspaper to make the fan and using a washbasin as the helmet.

If you really put your heart into it, you might create something amazing!

The dance known as “otagei,” where otaku pump up a song by dancing—a phenomenon that once became a social craze.

It can seem intimidating at first, but please check out the reference video.

It’s really cool, and above all, it looks so fun! It seems like quite a workout, but let’s hype up the venue with full-throttle otagei!

Open a cap

Bon! Cap-shooting powerful PET-bottle air cannon

Here is a powerful “plastic bottle air cannon” that you can easily make using just an empty plastic bottle and its cap.

It’s fun to add perks such as giving a prize based on how far it shoots, or letting people choose their favorite slice from a cut birthday cake.

Although it’s a birthday event, it would be great to make it an occasion where everyone who participates can get excited together.
