Farewell Party Hype: Banquet and Party Games (11–20)
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.
Dangerous Blindfold
We blindfold participants and have them march in place for one minute at their starting spot.
After a minute, we measure how far they moved from where they began, and the person who moved the least wins.
We’ll provide eye masks for the blindfolds, and if you use funny eye masks, the spectators won’t be able to help but laugh during the game.
linked ring traversal
The linked-ring tunnel game is one that makes you feel the bonds born from teamwork.
You and your teammates stand in the center and take turns passing through an extra-long ring made by linking rubber bands together.
Since the person in the middle is connected to their neighbors with both hands, figuring out how to lower your body and slip through the ring becomes the critical point.
Strong coordination and cooperation with your teammates are essential, and the smiles and cheers that arise in the process can even make you forget the sadness of parting.
The beauty of this game lies not only in how smoothly you can pass through the ring, but in truly enjoying the time you spend together.
Illustration Telephone Game
The illustration telephone game is perfect entertainment for farewells among friends.
A participant draws the given prompt on a sheet of paper, and the next person looks at that drawing and tries to draw the same thing.
By repeating this, players challenge how accurately they can convey information without relying on words.
If the prompt is passed along correctly, it creates a sense of unity; even when it goes off-track, the process is fun to watch.
The differences in drawing ability also add excitement.
Everyone can enjoy a time rich in creativity and humor.
Ten Thousand Steps ~ Dance
This is a game that uses pedometers.
Move your body as much as you can to the music, and when the music stops, freeze.
The person whose pedometer shows the highest number at that moment wins.
It works well as an individual competition, and forming teams for a team competition is also recommended.

Spinach Game
The Spinach Game, a familiar sight at drinking parties and group mixers.
Its appeal lies in the simple rules and the fact that you don’t need any equipment! Players pass around an imaginary bunch of spinach to everyone except themselves, calling out as they do.
You have to call the number of bunches you’re holding, and if you hesitate or make a mistake, you’re out! Winners and losers are decided quickly, so it doesn’t take much time—perfect for enjoying casually between courses at a farewell dinner.
It’s a great game when you want to send someone off with lots of laughter and lively fun.
