Party games to hype up large groups (41–50)
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!
Party Games That Get Big Groups Excited (51–60)
Birthday line
Let’s all connect and play! Here’s an idea for a Birthday Line game.
The rules are simple: everyone lines up in a single file in order from the earliest birthday to the latest.
It may sound easy, but there’s an important rule—no talking while you line up.
Use gestures to get into the correct order without making mistakes! If you take your time, you’ll definitely succeed, but adding a time limit makes it more fun because everyone starts to panic and think, “Let’s just line up for now!” Try this game with a big group!
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!
Pose Matching Game
How about a “Pose Matching Game” for an entertainment segment or performance? The rules are simple: everyone strikes a pose to match a given prompt, and the goal is for everyone’s poses to match.
It helps to designate one person, separate from the participants, to act as the host and judge so the game runs smoothly.
Prompts that are easy for many people to imagine—like “doctor,” “baseball player,” “chef,” or the name of a celebrity or comedian, as shown in the video—tend to make it more exciting.
You could also draw prompts from a box like a lottery, which adds to the fun.
Consider this as a reference for your entertainment segment!
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.
Werewolf game
Are you familiar with the game Werewolf? It was frequently featured on TV and social media for a while, so many people may know it.
Werewolf is a game where players are divided into the Villagers and the Werewolves, each aiming for their side to win.
Each night, the Werewolves attack one villager.
The Villagers discuss and deduce who the Werewolves are.
The Werewolves, while hiding their identities, try to disrupt the Villagers’ discussions.
There are also several other roles, such as Bodyguard, so the more players there are, the more exciting it gets!
