Majority Game

The Road to “Remote☆Host” No. 1 — Club Venere Edition #42: “Majority Game”

As we go about our days without thinking much, we tend to assume that our thoughts and actions are shared by the majority, and we may not realize we’re actually in the minority.

This is a game that lets you see everyone’s perspectives and also check whether your own opinion is in the minority or majority.

You pose a two-choice question you believe most people will agree with, everyone answers at the same time, and those in the minority have to do a penalty.

The stronger someone’s preconceptions, the bigger the shock might be when they find out they’re in the minority.

Brain Matching Game

Let me introduce a brain-sync game where teamwork is key.

When a prompt is given, everyone should think of a single word that matches the prompt and then say it out loud one letter at a time.

Quick judgment and imagining what words others might come up with are the keys to success.

Even if you don’t all match, the moment you compare answers and see what everyone was thinking is guaranteed to be exciting.

Give it a try and have fun together!

stereo game

[Ready to use] A “Stereo Game” you can enjoy during spare moments in class

Perfect for quick play! Here’s an idea for a “stereo game.” First, recruit a question team: about three to four people come to the front.

Decide on a theme, and then, at the cue “Ready, go!”, each questioner simultaneously says something that fits the theme.

Everyone else tries to guess who said what.

You can add extra rules depending on the number of players and how familiar everyone is with the game.

It’s a unique game that’s great for spare moments or breaks, so give it a try!

Match it to four letters

Telepathy Quiz: Sync Your Minds and Answer in 4 Letters! [MyanRika] #shorts

When you’re perfectly in sync, it feels like your bond grows even stronger! Give it a try with close friends or family.

Word Bingo

[Number Bingo is old news] A psychological battle that captivates both adults and kids! “Word Bingo”

Try a unique Bingo that uses letters! Here are some Word Bingo ideas.

In regular Bingo, you cross off selected numbers on a card with numbers, and aim to win by lining up one row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally and shouting “Bingo!” This time, let’s try Word Bingo using letters instead of numbers.

Draw lines on a sheet of paper to make nine squares, and, without letting each other see, write one hiragana character in each square.

The first player asks the opponent questions, and as they get answers, they cross off the hiragana that apply, aiming to complete a Bingo.
