No-English game

Simple but tricky! Here are some ideas for a “no-English” game.
As the name suggests, it’s a game where you’re not allowed to use English.
The key is that we naturally blurt out English that’s blended into our daily lives.
You can try replacing English with Japanese when you speak, or mix in gestures.
If someone does use English, add one point to their score; it could be fun to have the person with the most points within the time limit do a penalty game.
With a slight buzz, you might find yourself using English without thinking…
but that’s part of the charm of this game.
Majority Game

Choose from two options! Here are some ideas for a Majority Game.
A “majority” is the group that makes up the larger portion within a crowd.
This time, let’s try a Majority Game where the goal is to be in the majority.
Those who pick the minority lose, and points go to those who pick the majority.
In groups of four or six at a drinking party, if the votes split evenly, call it a draw and move on to the next topic.
Having a penalty game ready for the end will likely make things even more exciting!
Dosukoi Game

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.

Mozzarella Cheese Game

Great for breaking the ice! Here are some ideas for the Mozzarella Cheese Game.
In recent years, it’s become a game many people have tried.
The rules are simple: in a group, you take turns saying the phrase “mozzarella cheese,” and each person must say it with more enthusiasm than the person before them.
If it’s hard to judge the level of enthusiasm, you can tweak the rule so that each person simply speaks louder than the previous one.
It’s perfect for house parties!
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.
Super Mario game

Be careful not to fall out of rhythm! Here’s an idea for a Super Mario game.
In this game, you pass along the phrase “Super Mario” in time with the beat.
The key point is that if you can keep “Super Mario” going all the way to the end, the number of coins increases! Once you get used to the rules, it might be fun to speed things up.
This could be one of those games that really livens up a drinking party.
Aburi Karubi Game

It’s a classic word game, but this “Aburi Karubi Game” gets surprisingly lively with people of all ages.
The first person says “aburi karubi” once, the second person says it twice, the third person three times, and so on, increasing the count as you go.
It’s also fun to keep rhythm with hand claps while you say it.
Most importantly, you have to say it as quickly and smoothly as you can.
You might even enforce the rules strictly.
It sounds simple, but it’s trickier than you think—perfect for a fun time!
