NG word game
This is an “NG Word Game” where you lose if you say a forbidden word that only you don’t know.
Attach the NG word to your forehead or hold it above your head so you can’t see it yourself.
Everyone else can see it, so they steer the conversation to make you say that word.
It can be a noun, or it’s also fun to use a phrase you often say.
Who am I? game
A casual two-person game called “Who Am I?” Choose one person to be the guesser, and play by having them figure out the given topic.
The guesser doesn’t know the topic, so they ask the others questions to determine what it is, but they may only ask yes-or-no questions.
Keep asking any questions that come to mind, like “Am I a living thing?” or “Do I know what it is?”
Name Bingo
It’s a game where you make bingo cards using the names of people who are present, then call out the names in order and aim for bingo.
The rules are simple—just using names instead of numbers—but it’s a great way to help you remember everyone’s names.
If someone has a memorable name, many people might have written it on their cards, so avoiding those names at the right moment when announcing can be important for winning.
Let’s aim for victory by learning the names well and keeping strategy in mind.
Word Wolf
It’s a word-based werewolf game called Word Wolf.
For example, let’s say four people are playing.
Everyone draws a card with a word on it and talks about that topic, but one person has a different word.
The goal is to identify the one person with the different word; if they aren’t found out, that person wins.
It’s a psychological battle game—tense, but easy to play and guaranteed to get everyone excited.
BlindSquare
Let me introduce a great game for college students: Blind Square! All you need is a rope and an eye mask, so you can enjoy it anywhere.
The game is simple yet challenging: blindfolded members work together to form a square using the rope.
Because you have to coordinate by talking to each other, it boosts teamwork and communication skills.
It’s guaranteed to be full of laughter and a real sense of accomplishment.
Perfect for club activities, seminar retreats, and many other situations—give it a try!
Dragon Quest Dodgeball
This is a game that adds role-playing elements, like those in the Dragon Quest series, to dodgeball, where the goal is to hit opponents with the ball.
Each team has exactly one King, and the other members are assigned different roles.
While making full use of the abilities tied to each role, players aim to protect their own team’s King and defeat the opposing team’s King.
Since players also discuss how to use their abilities during the game, judging the right timing for actions may be crucial.
Commonality-Finding Game
Do you know the common-ground-finding game that’s perfect for college students? It’s like magic—you can instantly get closer to someone you’ve just met.
As you look for people who share things like hobbies, favorite artists, or beloved manga, the conversation starts to flow naturally.
The best part is that it works in any setting—welcome/farewell parties, group dates, seminar meetups, you name it.
Plus, there’s no prep required, so you can start right away.
You might even discover unexpected things in common and hear surprised reactions like, “Wait, really? No way!” Give it a try as a way to make new friends!
