Party games that women will love and that really get the fun going (41–50)
Pencil Holder Game
This is a game where you prepare 10 pencils and compete to see who can stand them all up the fastest.
It’s a party game that requires dexterity and concentration.
Whether played individually or in teams, it’s a fun, high-energy party game that’s especially recommended for women.
Umaibō Sommelier
I think many people remember buying and eating Umaibo at a dagashi (old-fashioned candy) shop when they were kids.
There are so many flavors, and you might have even had lively debates like, “I love the ___ flavor!” Umaibo Sommelier is a game that uses this familiar snack.
You put on a blindfold, pinch your nose, eat an Umaibo, and try to guess the flavor.
Even though Umaibo does a great job recreating flavors, it’s surprisingly hard to guess when you can’t see and your sense of smell is blocked.
Another nice thing is that you can adapt the rules to fit the number of participants and the situation—team matches or individual matches, taking turns or everyone tasting at once, and so on.
Slipper relay
It’s a simple game where several people link arms and relay a slipper from foot to foot, but it requires quite a lot of balance.
In mixed-gender groups you might feel the need to be considerate, but among women you can enjoy it without worrying about that.
Model Walking Relay
You relay-walk a set distance like a model.
But instead of walking normally, you walk with a magazine clamped between your thighs.
Walk without dropping it, then hand the book to the next person to continue the relay.
How difficult it is to walk changes depending on the thickness of the book.
Pedometer Dance
I’ll carry a pedometer and dance to rack up steps.
Some pedometers surprisingly don’t count properly if you’re just walking, so the key is how you dance, flail about—no, dance like crazy—to boost the count.
It’s a game that gets tougher the longer the time limit is.
Up-Down-Left-Right Game
A game where you read a pre-prepared passage, and whenever the characters for “up, down, left, right” appear, you turn to face that direction.
You have to respond to both the on’yomi and kun’yomi readings, too.
It might be pretty challenging! You do need to prepare the passage beforehand, but since it doesn’t require any special equipment, it’s easy to play.
Hot oden with a two-person haori (a two-people-in-one-coat act)
It’s a thrilling game where you do nininbaori and eat piping-hot oden.
Normally, the goal is to sync your timing and eat neatly, which means success, but with boiling-hot oden it also tests the eater’s courage! Nininbaori is hilarious to watch and fun for the audience, too!
One-Leg Rope Sumo
While standing on one leg, two players pull on two ropes; the one who falls loses.
In this game, the stronger person doesn’t necessarily win—strategy and timing seem to decide the match! Anyone can join in! In a kid-versus-adult contest, the kid might even win!?
linked ring traversal
It’s a ring-passing game where several people hold hands in a line and form a large loop using a string or ribbon.
The loop is passed over the first person’s body and on to the next, who also steps through, and so on.
The team that gets the loop from the first person to the last without anyone letting go of hands, and does it the fastest, wins.
In conclusion
I’ve introduced some party games that are especially fun for women—did any catch your eye? Many of them require little to no preparation, so if you find yourself thinking “Is there something we can do right now?” during the party, you can jump right in! Use these ideas as a reference and enjoy an even more fun time with your close friends!
