Games to Liven Up a Farewell Party: Ideas That Will Make Everyone Smile

Perfect Match Game

“What a Perfect Match Game” — introducing a game that gets super hyped with friends!!!

We’ll ask the other person number-related questions like “How many Twitter followers do you have?” Each team repeats this, and the side whose total gets closest to a preset number wins.

If you go over the set number, it’s a bust and you lose.

It’s a simple game, but the better you know your opponent, the more strategically you can enjoy it.

Who doesn’t have wasabi?

Each person eats a mini cream puff with wasabi and one without wasabi, and everyone has to guess who is pretending that it’s spicy.

It’s simple, but the key to this game is that you must act like it’s spicy even if it isn’t.

The reverse version might be fun too.

Bamboo Shoot Nyoki

Rules: How to Play Takenoko Nyokki [Platform Style by Impro Company Platform]

Takenoko Nyokki is a game that originated from a TV show and has now become a staple recreational party game.

It begins with the call, “Takenoko takenoko nyokki-kki!” After that, players take turns saying “1 nyokki,” “2 nyokki,” and so on—but the timing is the key to the game.

You have to build up the count without overlapping with anyone else; if two people say the same number, you’re out.

If you end up being the last remaining player, you’re also out.

It’s a game of timing and bluffing.

You might think it’s easier with a large group, but surprisingly, overlaps happen a lot.

Private Quiz

Farewell parties and send-off gatherings tend to get a bit sentimental.

Ending in tears can be nice, but ideally, you want everyone smiling at the end, right? So how about hosting a “Personal Quiz” contest to make everyone smile? The quiz questions are all about personal tidbits, so they can be trivial or even things that make you wonder, “Who would know that?”—but that’s exactly what makes it fun.

For example, “What new hobby has [Name] recently started?” or “What’s [Senior’s Name]’s favorite anime?” The more trivial the question, the more entertaining the quiz becomes.

Rotating Shiritori 21

Rotating Shiritori 21 [Party Game for Banquets, Parties, Year-End Gatherings! After-Party!]

Shiritori is a simple game familiar to children and adults alike, but here’s an evolved version.

Prepare a sheet with 21 squares arranged in a circle.

If you start with a word beginning with “a,” continue playing shiritori to make your way around the circle.

You need to choose words so that the final word loops back to the initial “a.” It’s a brainy take on shiritori.

Try it with a time limit for an extra challenge.

Present Quiz

[Verification] Theory that a quiz champion can tell what's inside without even unwrapping it [Merry Xmas]

Creating fun memories at a farewell party is a wonderful chance to strengthen bonds with colleagues.

A great recommendation for such occasions is a “thank-you gift quiz”! In this game, everyone gets excited by guessing the contents of a present based on its appearance, and you can wrap things up with laughter and surprises.

For example, as Takushi Izawa demonstrated, have people deduce what’s inside from the gift’s weight and shape.

If they guess correctly, they can receive an extra keepsake—and even if they don’t, everyone will still have a great time.

For colleagues who are leaving due to retirement or a job change, make it a heartwarming final gift.
