Party games for men that will liven things up (11–20)
Oshibori Roulette
This is a game played with wet towels provided at restaurants.
The rules are simple: players take turns wringing the towel, and whoever can’t get any more water out loses.
It’s a battle that strong men, in particular, can’t afford to lose! As a precaution, be sure to have a container ready to catch the water.
Dizzy Bat & Shoot
A classic game! Spin around with a bat until you’re dizzy, then take an immediate shot to score points! How to play: Decide who goes first with rock-paper-scissors.
After spinning around the bat five times, you kick the ball five seconds later.
Take turns kicking, and the player with the higher final score wins.
There are many variations on the spinning-bat theme, but bringing it into a ball-kicking game is a pretty interesting idea, I thought.
Tsumu-Tsumu Zabuton (stackable floor cushion)
It’s a game where you stack lots of cushions under the legs of someone sitting in the seiza position.
The person sitting has to jump high enough so more cushions can be added underneath.
The higher it gets, the tougher it becomes! It really tests the timing between the two players and the jumper’s athletic ability!
Stand-up game
This is a game where you try to guess how many people will stand up in response to a chant.
Each person is free to decide whether to stand or not.
If you’re guessed correctly, move up to the next stage one after another.
This game is fun on its own, but it could also be used as a qualifier for other games.
Don’t-Call-It-Out Game
In fact, I often find myself reacting (doing tsukkomi) to all sorts of things in everyday life.
If someone did a bad impression right in front of me or told a story with no punchline, I’d feel like jumping in with a tsukkomi.
This is a game where you have to hold that back! Sounds like it’ll get pretty lively.
Intro quiz by a piano beginner
A game where you guess a song based on a phrase played by a beginner pianist.
If a skilled player does it, it’s easy to figure out, but when a beginner plays, the pitches are off and it becomes difficult.
After you guess it and have them play it again, you go, “Ah, I see.”
Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)
There are surely many people who want to make others laugh and liven up a party.
For you, a great recommendation is an ogiri (improv joke) contest.
Playing ogiri as a party game can really get everyone excited.
It’s especially a game you’ll want to play when you’ve got some particularly funny members in the group.
Vital capacity ping-pong ball
It’s a game where you blow into a bowl filled with ping-pong balls and try to blow them all out.
The key to this game is lung capacity! It’s all about how long you can keep your breath going.
You might even find that ping-pong balls, which seem so light, feel heavy and just won’t come out at times!
Find the incorrect character
This is a “spot the odd character” game where you find the one character that’s different.
In the first puzzle of this video, you look for the character れ hidden among many わ’s; in the second, you look for 午 among 牛.
It’s fun to make puzzles using characters people often mix up! They’re easy to create on a computer or smartphone.
high-speed antonyms
A game where you quickly answer the antonym of the antonym of a given word.
It’s simple, but when you try to answer fast, strange words come out and you can’t help but laugh.
If you mix in tricky words that make you wonder, “Do they even have antonyms?”, it becomes really fun.
