Brain-type/logic games (11–20)
Quiz: Let’s Aim for the Sweet Spot!
Instead of guessing the exact correct answer, the winner is the person who gives the answer right in the middle of everyone’s responses—an innovative game called “Quiz Ii-sen Ikimasho!” Since the person with the middle answer is considered correct, you should play with three or more people.
The quiz questions are about things that may or may not have a clear answer, such as “How many new species were discovered worldwide in a year?” or “How many times does a tidy person clean in a day?” Each player writes down a number they think will land roughly in the middle of everyone’s answers.
Once everyone has answered, the person who wrote the middle number wins and gets 100 points.
The players who wrote the largest and smallest numbers among all responses each lose 50 points.
There’s a dedicated card game available for purchase, but it’s also fun to make your own original questions!
Brain/Logic and Deduction Games (21–30)
Looking for the King
A fun King-Finder game for large groups.
First, split into a Detective Team and a King Team.
The King Team will imitate the King’s movements for one minute.
During that minute, the King should change their movement three times.
The detectives carefully observe during this time to figure out who the King is.
Setting a time limit can make it even more exciting.
At the end, the King Team asks, “Who is the King?” The Detective Team answers, “The King is ___,” and tries to guess correctly.
Adjust the difficulty according to the players’ ages and enjoy.
What’s inside the box?
The “what’s in the box” guessing game you often see on variety shows.
Watching people’s reactions is so much fun, isn’t it? Since creatures like snakes can be dangerous, use safe items instead.
It’s also great for gift exchanges, like at Christmas.
