Farewell Party Hype: Banquet and Party Games (11–20)
Picture Shiritori game
A must-see for anyone who wants to brighten up a gloomy farewell party! The go-to, guaranteed crowd-pleaser that every variety show tries at least once is “Picture Shiritori.” Recently, not just TV but many YouTubers have been featuring it as a fun segment too.
You’ve probably played it at least once in elementary or middle school, right? It’s the kind of game that’s sure to get everyone excited—like when the lion drawn by your admired senior ends up looking like a yokai, or when the departing manager turns out to be surprisingly good at drawing.
All you need is a sketchbook and a thick marker; the rest you can ride out on vibe!
Food Russian roulette
A food Russian roulette is perfect for adding laughter and surprise to a farewell party.
Prepare takoyaki or cream puffs, and put a different flavor—like wasabi—into just one of them.
It’s a simple setup, but the thrill will have everyone laughing.
Whoever picks the odd one out might widen their eyes at the unexpected spiciness or unpleasant taste! You can also buy Russian roulette candies online, which come in various looks and flavors, making them a great option.
Why not try this game to wrap up time with close friends on a fun note?
The “Haa” game
“Haa” Game is guaranteed to liven up any party.
Players express different kinds of “haa” using only their face and voice, while others guess the situation it represents—simple rules with big laughs.
Performers need humor and boldness; guessers need keen insight.
The prompt cards go far beyond just “haa,” inspiring expressive acting and nonstop laughter among participants.
With a bit of creativity in how you convey each prompt, the game becomes even more enjoyable.
It’s easy for all ages to join and a great way to spark communication—definitely give it a try.
Werewolf game
The Werewolf game, played by dividing into villagers and werewolves, is recommended when you want to enjoy deduction and psychological battles! Participants first split into villagers and werewolves.
During the day, through discussion and debate, the villagers execute a suspect believed to be a werewolf; at night, it’s the werewolves’ turn, and any player they attack must leave the game.
If all werewolves are ultimately executed, the villagers win; if the surviving werewolves and villagers are equal in number, the werewolves win.
Since it’s a conversation-centered game, it’s perfect for making memories.
human disentanglement puzzle
Let’s try a human version of a popular 3D puzzle—the entanglement ring—together using our bodies! First, have participants form a circle and connect their right hand with someone who is not next to them.
Then connect their left hand with someone else who is also not next to them.
Now you’re ready! Work to untangle your arms until you form a neat circle.
If you pull too hard, you might get hurt, so if you really can’t untangle, start over from the beginning.
You can split into teams and race against the clock, or have everyone aim to succeed together.
Present Quiz
When it comes to something you hand to someone who’s retiring, transferring, or graduating—yes, gifts or commemorative items come to mind.
Of course, it’s fine to simply hand them over with lots of gratitude, but this game turns even the act of giving into a fun event.
It’s called “Guess What the Present Is!” and the recipient has to figure out what’s inside.
A big bag, a heavy item, something super soft—there’s a certain flair in having them accept the gift with a flutter of excitement.
And imagine the twist: “Out of the big bag comes a single thank-you letter.” That kind of surprise might even bring tears! If you’re unsure what gift to choose, give this a try.
Giant Jenga
Jenga is a classic party game! Many kids have probably played it with their families.
This giant Jenga is an idea where you make the blocks bigger and play.
Because the blocks are large, it feels more like an active, physical game.
If you have a lot of participants, try playing in teams.
Chat excitedly about which block to pull, and get everyone hyped with the thrilling giant Jenga! Make the blocks from lightweight materials like cardboard so no one gets hurt if they collapse.

Let’s have fun with the “Say the same, do the opposite” game that gets both your mind and body moving! In this game, you repeat the leader’s instructions while doing the opposite action.
For example, if the leader says “Right,” you say “Right” while jumping to the left.
Everyone on the team does the movements in sync.
It sounds simple but is surprisingly tricky; even when you mess up, it leads to lots of laughs, so try it when you want to make fun memories.
It’s great not just for kids but for adults too!
Team Competition Bingo
Team-vs-team bingo, where everyone can get lively and excited together, is a unique entertainment option perfect for a farewell party.
Form teams, and have every member unite with a shared goal: achieving bingo.
It’s not just about completing a row of numbers—either every member of the team, or a set number of members, must get bingo.
Even if you’re the first to complete your card, the suspense of waiting for your teammates to catch up creates unpredictable drama.
Even in defeat, you smile and look ahead, and in the end, you applaud the lucky winners with a celebratory spirit.
This positive atmosphere brings warmth to any farewell gathering.
Easy for everyone to join and great for building camaraderie, this game is sure to create a truly memorable moment.
dizzy bat
It’s a game where you place your head on a bat and spin around for a set number of seconds or a set number of times, and the person who can walk the longest afterward wins.
It’s fun for spectators too, so it’s perfect for a farewell party! Varying the spinning speed or number of spins, or adding movements other than walking, will make it even more exciting.
