Party Games for House Drinking That Liven Things Up (41–50)
High & Low
High & Low is a card game where you can enjoy both luck and psychological battles between players.
Shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal the cards evenly to each player.
The dealer flips one card face up from the deck, and the other player places a card face down.
The rule is to guess whether the face-down card is higher or lower than the face-up card.
Each reveal triggers cheers and laughter, and there are plenty of groans when guesses miss.
Its simple steps make it enjoyable for everyone regardless of age or gender.
The game moves along with a lively rhythm and adds to the friendly atmosphere of New Year’s parties and casual home drinking gatherings.
Body Clock Game
An internal body-clock game where you measure time relying only on your own sense.
Challenges include timing exactly 30 seconds with a stopwatch and guessing how long it will take to finish a slice of shortcake.
A unique variation has you read a passage from Momotaro and predict how long it will take.
The mismatches in perception and unexpected results spark laughter and lighten the mood.
It strikes a perfect balance between serious attempts at accuracy and casual fun in embracing the discrepancies.
Because it works for both individuals and teams, a wide range of participants can get excited.
It’s recommended as a quick, refreshing game during a house party drink break.

Chiguhagu – THE SUPER FRUIT
It’s a game where a straw is placed on top of a plastic bottle filled with tea, and players—blindfolded—use only their mouths to grab the straw and drink the tea.
Everyone starts at the same time, and the rule is simple: compete to see who can finish their tea the fastest.
Watching players fumble around to find where the straw is, and then try to guide the tip into the bottle, looks awkward and is the funny part.
Using a longer straw makes it more difficult and lets you enjoy their desperate searching for longer, so that’s also recommended.
Finger Smash
Yubisuma is a classic game with simple rules that anyone can jump into right away.
Each participant puts out one hand, and the caller says, “Ready, set, go,” then guesses how many fingers in total will be shown by themselves and the others.
If the total matches the caller’s guess, the caller pulls their hand back; the first to have no hands left wins.
The game moves at a lively pace, with cheers and laughter driven by the chant and finger motions.
It tests quick thinking and split-second judgment, offering surprising depth despite its simplicity.
It’s a perfect fit for casual drinking at home.
In conclusion
We introduced some games that are perfect for drinking at home. The rules are a bit complicated, and with alcohol involved you end up messing up right away—but that actually makes it even more fun. Even games you’ve known and are used to can reveal a whole new kind of enjoyment when you play them at home with drinks. Be sure to have a great time with everyone!
