[Definitive Guide] Guaranteed Crowd-Pleasers! Party Acts and Gags Everyone Will Enjoy

In addition to enjoying food and drinks at New Year’s parties, year-end parties, and farewell parties, it’s also common to set aside time for entertainment.

If you’re asked to come up with the entertainment… it can be a real headache, right?

For those who absolutely want to get laughs and make it a fun time for everyone, I’d like to introduce some can’t-miss entertainment ideas!

Of course, “can’t-miss” doesn’t mean a guaranteed success, but try choosing based on the age range and makeup of the group.

We’ll also introduce classic games that get everyone excited regardless of age or gender.

Here’s hoping your gathering is fun and lively!

[Definitive Guide] Guaranteed Crowd-Pleasers! Entertainment and Skits That Make Everyone Have Fun (31–40)

What about the proposal words and situation?

What about the proposal words and situation?

This is the kind of dare you’d want to use on newlyweds or friends who just got engaged.

A proposal is a huge event for a man.

He’s probably put a lot of thought into it and pulled off some cool lines or actions he wouldn’t normally show! Everyone around would love to hear about it, but for the person himself, it couldn’t be more embarrassing.

That said, depending on the couple, it might have been a reverse proposal from the woman! And if everyone in the group is single, having them talk about their “ideal scenario” is a great option too!

Have the game winner list five good things about the person receiving the penalty.

We don’t often get the chance to tell our friends or partners what we like about them directly.

Even if we think it, it can be pretty embarrassing to say it face-to-face.

But that’s exactly why it works as a penalty! Use this penalty to encourage honest expressions of feelings.

It may be embarrassing for the speaker, but it will make the receiver happy and give both of you a great opportunity to grow closer.

Telephone game

Let me introduce a sure-fire party hit: the Telephone Game.

It doesn’t require any props, and the more participants you have, the funnier it gets—anyone can enjoy it with ease.

The rules are simple: one person whispers a sentence to the next person, who then whispers it to the next, and so on.

But with each player’s mishearing or misspeaking, the sentence ends up completely different by the end.

The appeal is that everyone gets excited regardless of age or gender.

There’s also a fun variation where players listen to loud music through earphones while playing, and you can add all kinds of twists depending on your ideas.

Bingo

Bingo is a classic game that everyone can enjoy together! The excitement of marking off squares and the thrill of waiting for your number to be called make it perfect for livening up year-end and New Year parties.

If the prizes are luxurious, things are sure to get even more heated! Even people who are usually quiet and reserved might get really into the game, giving you a glimpse of unexpected sides of your coworkers.

And instead of ending when the prizes run out, it’s also a great idea to prepare a small penalty game for the last person remaining!

What’s inside the box?

What's inside the box?

Battle the fear of the unknown with the “What’s in the Box?” game! You stick only your hand into a box without knowing what’s inside and try to guess the contents.

Touching things you can’t see—like wet, perishable items or slippery textures such as konnyaku—can be downright terrifying, but from the audience’s perspective, watching those nervous reactions is irresistibly funny! It’s perfect as entertainment to liven up New Year’s or year-end parties, but be sure to choose the items carefully so everyone can have fun without injuries or mishaps.

Illustration Telephone Game

The drawing telephone game is friendly and open to everyone.

The rules are simple: the first person draws a picture based on the prompt, then the next person looks at that drawing and draws the scene they interpreted from it.

Repeat this process, and the last person guesses what the original prompt was.

It’s fun if they get it right, and if they don’t, it’s guaranteed to cause a hilarious stir.

For example, even if the prompt is “takoyaki,” the final result might turn into something completely unexpected—that surprise twist is part of the fun.

Although differences in drawing skill do show, that actually makes the game even more exciting.

In conclusion

We introduced some recommended crowd-pleasing entertainment ideas.

For skits or gag-style performances, be sure to choose options that everyone can enjoy and that won’t hurt anyone’s feelings.

Games get even more exciting if you have prizes for the winners.

Even small prizes make people happy, so consider preparing some.
