From Small to Large Groups: Drinking Games Recommended for College Students (31–40)
A command game popular with both children and adults
It’s a fast-paced game that tests your listening skills and split-second decision-making.
The rules are very clear: if someone says, “Order: do XX,” you perform the action; but if they say only “Do XX” without the word “Order,” you must not move.
If you react by mistake, you’re out, so observation and concentration are essential.
The teacher’s feints will spark laughter across the classroom, creating a fun atmosphere.
Despite the simple rules, there’s a lot of strategy in the rhythm and timing, and it stays exciting no matter how many times you play.
Move or stay still—the instant you decide determines the winner.
Dosukoi Game

♪ Original Song – A Day in the Life of a Mismatched Employee – A Day in the Life of a Mismatched Employee
Think up words quickly! Here’s an idea for the “Dosukoi” game.
In the Dosukoi game, participants sit in a circle and raise their thumbs.
Players then race to call out “___ dosukoi” with a word that has the same number of letters as the number of raised thumbs and starts with the letter one designated person chose first.
It’s simple, but when you’re a little tipsy, words don’t come easily, which can be frustrating—in a fun way.
You can also add variations, like giving a penalty to the last person remaining.
Wasshoi Game
@liacreate__ By the way, I wonder why it’s “wasshoi” 🤣🤣🤣#UmedaBar#barKita-Shinchi BarOsaka#BARDrinking game#Dosukoi#Wasshoi
Heaven and Hell That’s Way Beyond a Sports Day – MACHO music
Let’s have fun by specifying word endings! Here’s an idea for the Wasshoi Game.
In the Wasshoi Game, participants sit in a circle and stick their thumbs up.
Players then call out, as quickly as they can, a word that has the same number of letters as the total number of raised thumbs and that ends with a letter chosen by one of the players.
Whoever succeeds drops out, and play continues.
To raise the stakes, you can prepare a penalty for the last person remaining, such as doing an impression or telling a personal story—many people will get serious if there’s a forfeit on the line.
It’s one of those games that really gets lively, especially when everyone’s a little tipsy.
Team Competition Bingo
How about turning the classic bingo game into a team competition? You still get bingo when the numbers on your card line up vertically, horizontally, or diagonally—but just one person finishing doesn’t mean your team wins.
For example, set a rule like “the round ends when three people at the table get bingo,” which removes the “it’s over as soon as I’m done” scenario and keeps the suspense going right to the end.
Whether you snag a fabulous prize comes down to luck.
Let’s all share the highs and lows together as each number is called!
Body Clock Game
Simple but tricky! Let’s play the body clock game.
As the name suggests, it’s a game that tests how accurate your internal clock is.
All you need is a smartphone or tablet with a timer function.
Count the set number of seconds using your internal clock, and whoever stops the timer closest to the target time wins.
One of its perks is that you don’t need much to play.
It’s a very simple game, but because it’s quite challenging, it really livens things up at gatherings like parties.
Give it a try!

werewolf
When it comes to classic drinking-party games, “Werewolf” is the go-to, right? In this game, players split into the Villager team and the Werewolf team, each aiming for their own side’s victory.
There are seven roles in Werewolf; the Werewolves act to avoid exposing their true identities, while the Villagers try to deduce who the Werewolves are.
The Villager team should actively push their reasoning forward, and the Werewolf team needs to conceal their identities while stirring up the Villagers’ discussions—this is the key to winning.
It’s a game that really makes you think, so it’s perfect for livening up parties and gatherings.
Give it a try for inspiration!
The Perfect Match Game
Here’s an introduction to the “Perfect Match Numbers” game.
The rules are simple: split into two teams and set a shared target number.
The teams take turns asking any questions they like, and you add up the numerical answers.
The team whose total ends up closer to the original target number wins.
A good strategy is to aim for a big number with the first question, then fine-tune your questions to inch closer to the target.
It’s a super lively game that’s sure to bring your team closer together! Give it a try at parties or drinking gatherings.
