Indoor fun activities and recreational games recommended for college students (31–40)
Senda Mitsuo Game
Many people are probably looking for classic party games for drinking parties or group mixers.
For you, I recommend the “Senda Mitsuo Game.” In this game, players point at others in three parts: “Senda,” “Mitsuo,” and “Naha-naha.” It’s a true classic, and since lots of people know it, you can play it anywhere and have a great time.
Cockroach Poker
Cockroach Poker has similarities to the game Cheat, but it offers a different kind of fun—a psychological battle where players foist pests onto each other.
It’s an excellent game that can be lively and enjoyable with both small and large groups of friends or club members, so it’s highly recommended for college students!
Picture shiritori
It’s a game called “Picture Shiritori” that really livens things up when you play it with friends.
As adults, we don’t often draw pictures and show them to others, do we? You might even have some ‘masters’ of various kinds in your group.
Unlike when we were kids, we don’t feel as embarrassed about being bad at it, so it gets really fun!

Let’s use the hints to figure out the answer! Here’s an idea for a rearrangement game.
It’s a great recreation activity for breaks or free time! Once you’ve prepared five types of drinks with two bottles each (like plastic bottled drinks), you’re ready to go! It’s a simple game where you rearrange the drinks and guess the correct order.
The key is for each person to move one item per turn to work toward the correct arrangement.
It’s helpful if the caller can tell the players how many drinks are currently in the correct position.
It looks easy, but it really makes you think! You can also adapt it using stationery or other items instead of drinks.
Panic Island
Panic Island is played in pairs, with both players standing on a sheet of newspaper.
A question is asked; if you answer incorrectly, you have to fold the newspaper in half.
If you can no longer stand on the ever-shrinking newspaper, you’re out.
Since you’ll need to stand very close to your partner, please choose someone you’re comfortable being in close contact with.
Indoor Fun and Recreation Games Recommended for College Students (41–50)
Hula hoop down
As a recreation game that helps you get friendly with people you’ve just met, “Hula Hoop Down” is recommended.
In this activity, participants place a hula hoop on their index fingers.
The rule is to lower the hoop while keeping it from coming off your fingers.
It sounds simple, but what’s funny is that, as everyone tries not to let it lose contact, the hoop keeps rising instead.
One-character quiz
These days, there are more quiz shows on TV, and it feels like more and more people are getting into quizzes.
If you’re confident in your quiz skills, we’d love for you to try this “One-Character Quiz”! In this quiz, a sentence is hidden and revealed one character at a time.
Even with few characters, try to infer the question as you answer.
The satisfaction when your deduction is spot-on is seriously addictive.
