Party games that women will love and get excited about (1–10)
Reverse word game
As the name suggests, in the Reverse Word Game the questioner says the target word backwards, and the respondent guesses what the original word is.
For example, if you hear “kouzoire,” the answer is “reizouko” (refrigerator).
Short words like this can be solved in a few seconds, but what about longer ones? Think up lots of longer targets from everyday words—appliances, foods, shop names, celebrities’ names, and so on—and see who can answer the most.
It’ll really liven things up!
Yamanote Line game
When it comes to games everyone can play together, the classic has long been the Yamanote Line game.
It started out as taking turns naming stations on the Yamanote Line in a loop, but these days you set a theme and answer in turn; if you repeat an answer that’s already been said or can’t answer, you’re out.
You don’t have to worry much about the number of players, it doesn’t take much time, and there are plenty of possible themes, so it’s easy to adapt.
You could start with simple themes and gradually move to more niche ones.
If it’s a gathering of people who share the same interests, using your hobbies as the theme will definitely liven things up!
Pop-up Pirate
Many of you probably played this at least once as a child, right? It’s that game where a pirate is stuck in a big barrel, and players take turns inserting one knife each into the barrel; the person who makes the pirate pop out loses! Pop-up Pirate (Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu) was released in 1975 and has been loved ever since.
Did you know that originally the idea was the opposite of today’s rules? You were supposed to cut the rope with a knife to free the captured pirate, and the person who made him pop out was the winner for setting him free.
It might be fun to try playing it that way, too!

Lyrics hijacking game
It’s a game where, while singing a song, if a lyric reminds you of another song with similar words, you hijack the lyrics and switch to that other song! The key is how well you can anticipate and picture a different song in advance.
People who know lots of songs might have an advantage!
Gesture Game
A simple and exciting gesture game is highly recommended for girls’ nights! The rules are easy: one person on the team acts out the prompt using gestures, and the other members guess what it is.
Since people vary in how good they are at expressing the prompts, playing with a group will almost certainly reveal someone who does hilariously memorable gestures! Because you don’t have to worry about the opposite sex and can just relax and have fun, gesture games are an excellent choice for gatherings with women only.
Stacking Tirol chocolates
Tirol Chocolate, the candy we’ve had since we were kids.
These days it collaborates with all kinds of products and comes in so many flavors that you can’t help but buy it.
Here’s a simple game that just involves stacking those Tirol Chocolates.
But get this—there’s apparently a national championship for Tirol stacking! The rules are: a 2-minute time limit, three attempts, and your record is the highest number you stack in any of those three tries.
Let’s all stack Tirol Chocolates following the tournament rules! And when we’re done, let’s enjoy eating them together!
Saito-san Game
This is a spin-off of the Rhythm 4 Game, a rhythm game once featured on “Gakkō e Ikō!”, known for the call, “Match the rhythm starting from ____.” In the Rhythm 4 Game, the chosen player says their own name the specified number of times, but in the Saito-san Game, instead of saying their own name, they say the catchphrase “Pe!” by Trendy Angel’s Saito.
In addition, there’s a rule where, if someone calls out “Saito-san” without designating the next player, everyone responds together with “Saito desu.” It’s nostalgic for those who know the Rhythm 4 Game, and its simplicity makes it easy for newcomers to learn and enjoy right away.
