Party Games That Get Big Groups Excited (51–60)
Majority Game
Let’s play by majority vote! Here are some ideas for a Majority Game.
A Majority Game is a game where the majority side is decided by voting.
Simply voting for your own opinion is fine, but the key to this game is that the majority is determined by majority vote.
Participate while trying to read what the other players are thinking.
In the end, adding a penalty for the player with the fewest points or a reward for the player with the most points can make things more exciting.
Give it a try!
Super Mario game
This is a “Super Mario Game” that’s perfect as entertainment for the Super Mario generation.
In this game, you say the phrase “Super Mario! Coin!” while pausing at the designated parts.
Also, increase the number of times you say “Coin!” with each round.
Whoever makes a mistake or can’t keep the rhythm loses.
It’s a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes really fun and lively.
If you play it while the Super Mario music is on, it’ll hype up the mood even more, so give it a try!
Yamanote Line game
The classic game for large groups: the Yamanote Line Game.
In this video, the theme is “cities in Japan,” and players take turns naming cities they know.
It’s said there are about 790 cities in Japan—how many can you name? As shown in the video, you can start with government-designated cities, or go with places you’ve lived or your hometown.
You may think you know a lot, but as you keep answering, you’ll find your options running out.
The Yamanote Line Game is perfect brain training too—use it to liven up your next gathering!
The Perfect Match Game
Here’s an introduction to the “Spot-On Numbers Game.” The rules are simple: split into two teams and set a target number that both teams share.
Take turns asking questions; after four questions, add up the numbers from those questions.
The team whose total is closer to the target number wins.
However, if you go over the target at any point, the questioning team loses immediately.
In the featured video, it’s played as a 4-vs-4 team match.
If your questions relate to the other team, it’s a great way to learn more about them—and it’s guaranteed to get lively! Give it a try!
Toilet Paper Rolling Game
The “Toilet Paper Roll-Up Game,” where you single-mindedly wind up toilet paper! It’s a classic at parties and wedding after-parties, so many of you have probably played it or at least watched it.
Its charm is how easy it is to set up anywhere as long as you have toilet paper and a suitable stick.
The paper used during the game can do double duty for wiping up spilled food or drinks—two birds with one stone! Be sure to collect any leftovers so they can be used later at the office, etc.
