Party games that liven up drinking at home (21–30)
Ultra-Fast Smartphone Typing Battle
Ultra-Fast Smartphone Typing Battle is a speed-based game played on your phone.
The rules are simple: within a time limit, the person who enters the most words that match a given prompt wins.
You can choose categories like country names or fruit names and compete to see how many you can type accurately within the time.
Depending on the prompt, it also tests your knowledge and creativity, which makes for lots of exciting moments.
Since rounds are short, the game moves at a brisk pace, and every new prompt brings fresh energy.
It’s easy to enjoy whether you’re confident with smartphone operation or not, which is part of its charm.
It’s a perfect fit for the relaxed vibe of a house gathering with drinks.
YES/NO Quiz
A key point of “Yes/No Quiz,” where you work toward finding the answer, is that it’s a game enjoyed by splitting into a question master and questioners.
The question master chooses a topic and answers the questioners’ questions with only “Yes” or “No.” The questioners listen to the answers and try to figure out what the topic is.
To narrow down the answer, it’s important for the questioners to think carefully as they ask their questions.
It’s also a great game for team competitions, so let’s all have fun together.

Dosukoi Game
@ve4snxqh♬ original sound – LUMINARY FOR CARS – LUMINARY FOR CARS
Dosukoi is a game that seems like it would get really lively with four players.
Everyone keeps their thumbs down, then one person (the caller) says “Dosukoi [vowel sound/letter]” and a single character.
After that, players randomly raise whichever thumbs they want.
Combining the number of raised thumbs with the first letter the caller said, the first person to quickly say a word that matches that pattern—[word] dosukoi—wins.
Because you have to rhythmically find a word with that number of syllables/characters, it’s a game that uses both your brain and your reflexes.
Some people also use an extra rule that allows players who have already dropped out to give answers.
3-second try!
Introducing the board game “3-Second Try!”, which calls for a spirit of challenge and the ability to judge your own limits.
In this game, when a prompt card is flipped, players declare how many times they can perform the task.
The player who names the highest number earns the right to attempt the challenge and tries it for 3 seconds.
If they succeed, they earn points; if they fail, the right to try passes to the player with the next highest declared number.
The first player to earn 2 points wins.
If you’re confident, you can boldly declare a large number, while opting for a lower number that might strategically bring the challenge back to you is also a valid approach.
I dedicate these proposal words I just came up with to you.
A little embarrassing, but a proposal that fills you with happiness.
“I Offer You the Words of a Proposal I Just Thought Up” is a game where you can make or receive such proposals.
First, choose one person from the participants to be the lead player.
Deal cards to the remaining participants, and combine the words written on the cards to create what you think is the best possible proposal.
Once you’ve made yours, tell it to the lead player one by one.
To win, the words matter—but so do your tone of voice and facial expressions!
Word matching game
@am0princess Even if they match, it's an absolute no-laugh letter-matching gamePrincess of Midnightzeropri#GAMEIB: Sky Peace-san
♪ Original song – Zeropri – Zeropri
Let me introduce a letter-matching game.
Take turns saying letters out loud with a partner.
Even if you say the same letter, you must not laugh.
If you laugh, you lose on the spot.
As you go through various letters, you might accidentally say the same one at the same time—and it might be hard not to laugh.
Enjoy keeping the rhythm and matching the tempo as you speak.
Playing with three or four people might make it even more exciting.
Give it a try!
Drawing Telephone Game
It’s a game where you draw a picture based on a given prompt, pass it to the next person, they infer the prompt from the picture and draw again, and so on—repeating the cycle to see if the original prompt is accurately conveyed to the end.
It’s not just about drawing skill; it also tests your ability to capture and depict features that are easy for the next person to understand.
While the goal is for the prompt to be conveyed correctly in the end, it’s still fun even when it gets mixed up, thanks to everyone’s unique drawing styles and the different ways things go off track.
Adding a time limit for drawing can create a sense of urgency that might result in even more curious and surprising works.
