Brain games (1–10)
Doobee-doo-badoo game
This game introduced by the popular YouTubers, Fischer’s, is easy to enjoy with four or more players.
The rules are simple.
The first person says “Doobee Doobah Doo,” and on “Doobee,” they touch their right shoulder with their right hand and then their right shoulder with their left hand; on “Doobah,” they again touch their right shoulder with their right hand and then their right shoulder with their left hand.
Next, on “Doo,” they make a pistol shape with their hand and point at someone at random; the person pointed at then performs “Doobee Doobah Doo” again.
Alternatively, on “Doo,” they can make a phone shape with their hands and raise both hands.
Then all participants make the same hand shape and say “Doo Doo Doo.” It’s a fun game that strengthens the sense of unity with your friends!
Intro Quiz
An intro quiz—where you play only the beginning of a song and have people buzz in with answers—is a game you often see on TV variety shows.
It’s perfect for passing the time.
It’s an easy, reliable way to get everyone excited, and it really shines in places like a car where you can play music from a smartphone or music player.
Games of all ages and places
As a go-to game for killing time, you can’t go wrong with the classic ‘Around the World’ game! Rhythm games are fun no matter what form they take.
In this one, you say things that fit a given prompt in time with the beat, and it can be fun to try using more niche prompts tailored to the group that’s gathered.
Who am I? game
Let me introduce a “Who Am I?” game that you can enjoy while using your imagination.
Based on various hints, players try to guess what the quizmaster is pretending to be.
For example, if the answer is a refrigerator, the hints might go like this: “I have doors,” “I am cold,” “I come in big and small sizes.” By personifying the answer and giving several hints, the participants try to guess what it is.
The process of searching for something that fits all the conditions among countless possibilities is really exciting, isn’t it? And the sense of satisfaction when you guess correctly can be quite addictive.
Mozzarella Cheese Game
The Mozzarella Cheese game is something YouTubers often play, and it’s still fresh in our memories for how much buzz it got.
The rules are very simple: players take turns saying “mozzarella cheese.” However, each person has to say “mozzarella cheese” with higher energy than the person before them.
It starts off low-key, and as the game progresses, the forced escalation into high tension creates a bizarre, comical kind of hype.
The point isn’t just to be loud—it’s about how you express “higher energy” through your tone of voice, delivery, and even gestures, which is where players can really shine.
