I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A gesture game where you communicate only with body movements and others guess what you’re expressing—without using words.

It’s an easy game that kids and adults alike can enjoy, so it’s often used in everyday play and recreational activities.

Still, some of you might be looking for fresh ideas because the prompts are getting stale.

In this article, we’ll introduce challenging prompts for gesture games.

We’ve gathered not only prompts that represent people or objects, but also higher-difficulty ones that express actions.

Use this as a reference and enjoy your gesture game even more!

A gorilla climbing Tokyo Tower

Let’s express with gestures the image of a giant gorilla climbing Tokyo Tower.

It’s a famous scene from the 1967 film “King Kong Escapes,” but it might be difficult for people who don’t know the work.

The most important thing is to clearly convey the words “Tokyo Tower” and “gorilla,” and to recreate them with attention to movement and shape.

Even if the connection isn’t clear, as long as each element is communicated well, people should be able to guess the answer.
