[From Small to Large Groups] Drinking Party Games Recommended for College Students (1–10)
Minority Game
Do you know the game called “Minority Game”? In this game, there are two choices for each question.
Everyone answers at the same time, and the people who end up in the minority win.
It’s fine to present a prompt and have everyone answer all at once, but it’s also fun to discuss possible answers together before deciding.
It’s okay to change your answer during the discussion if you think, “Oh, I can look at it that way, too.”
Kyogen ‘Slowly, Slowly’ Game
The comedy duo Chocolate Planet came up with an original game called the “Sorori Sorori Game.” It originated from one of their skits where they imitate a kyogen performer and say “sorori sorori,” which caught on.
The game is to respond to a given prompt using onomatopoeic words in the style of “sorori sorori.” For example, if the prompt is “camera,” you might answer with something like “kashari kashari,” expressing the prompt as a sound effect.
If you can’t keep the rhythm or your onomatopoeia is off, you’re out.
It’s a game that tests how quick-witted you are!
Flick Input Showdown
How about playing a game using everyone’s smartphones? Let’s try a “flick typing showdown,” where you flash a prompt and everyone quickly types it in! You enter a simple word, raise your hand once you’ve finished, and if your entry is correct, you score points.
Typing out a slightly longer sentence and checking for mistakes would probably get everyone excited, too.
Even people who are used to flick input on a daily basis might feel a bit nervous when it turns into a game.
Guess My Good Points Game
Games with clear rules are fun, but how about trying something like this once in a while? First, everyone is asked about their impression of everyone else (except themselves).
Then, you have to guess how the people present see you—what kind of person they think you are.
And the catch is, the impression you’re guessing is “your good points,” which is, well, pretty embarrassing to say about yourself.
And if you get it wrong… that’s super embarrassing, right? (Haha.) It’s embarrassing, but with a little help from the party atmosphere, let’s just have fun with it!
Mansion Game
A simple yet tricky “Apartment Game” with a few rules.
Everyone sits in a circle.
The first person is Room 101, and going clockwise they become 102, 103, and so on.
Starting from Room 101, that person calls out, for example, “From 101 to 104!” The person in 104 then calls out another room number, and it continues like that.
If someone makes a mistake, the next round starts from that person as Room 201, and from that person the floor and room numbers shift again.
As the floor goes up, your own room number changes, so it gradually becomes confusing and more difficult.
Do-Re-Mi-Fa Game
Simple and straightforward, yet it always gets everyone excited—the “Do-Re-Mi Song Game.” It uses the familiar “Do-Re-Mi” song we’ve all listened to and sung since childhood.
It starts with “Do is for donut, do,” and whoever sings then points to the next person and tells them which note to sing next.
For example, after singing Do, the singer picks someone and says “Fa!” The chosen person has to sing “Fa is for fight, fa,” but because Fa comes right after Do, they often can’t immediately produce the correct pitch for Fa and end up singing off-key.
In fact, people who can sing it correctly are rare in this game.
Super Mario game
It’s a simple word game, but this “Super Mario Game” can be surprisingly addictive.
You just say words in order, going clockwise: “Suu,” “Paa,” “Mari,” “O,” “Super,” “Mario,” “Super Mario,” and “Coin!” As the rounds increase, the number of times you say “Coin!” increases accordingly.
If someone makes a mistake or can’t keep the rhythm, they’re out, and the game restarts from that person.
The words are simple, but once the speed picks up, it gets totally confusing (lol).
