Party games that liven up a group dating event

There are mixer parties where you simply enjoy a meal and conversation, and there are also ones that are all about getting everyone hyped up together! For the latter, you definitely need some party games.

I’ve gathered a bunch of game ideas I hope you’ll find helpful in those moments.

Party games that liven up group dating events (31–40)

Do-Re-Mi Song Game

Recommended for year-end parties! The Do-Re-Mi Song Game
Do-Re-Mi Song Game

It’s a game where you sing that song that goes, “Do is for donut, do~,” but instead of singing in the order do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, you point to the next person and call out any scale degree you like.

If the lyrics and the pitch don’t match, it doesn’t count.

Since your brain expects to continue the song in order, matching the pitch rather than the lyrics makes it a tricky game.

Panic Island

Wedding After-Party/Party Game “Panic Island”
Panic Island

Pair up and stand together on a sheet of newspaper.

A quiz is given, and teams answer.

Any team that fails to answer folds their newspaper in half.

As teams fail to answer, their newspaper gets smaller and it becomes harder to keep standing.

The team that manages to stay on their newspaper until the end wins.

Pose Matching Game

Pose Matching Game

Pair up with a partner.

A prompt is given, and you both strike a pose that matches the prompt.

Your poses must match.

For example, if the prompt is “baseball,” doing a batter and a pitcher pose is not allowed—you’re out.

Both players must strike the same pose.

Mint Tablet Game

Banquet, Year-End Party, and Party Game Collection: “Heartbeat Frisk” — A Planner’s Sweet Spot
Mint Tablet Game

Place a mint tablet on your forehead while looking up, and, without using your hands, move your face to get the tablet into your mouth.

The first person to eat it wins.

If you drop it along the way, start over from the forehead.

You’ll move your face a lot, so the funny faces make it even more fun!

Up-Down-Left-Right Game

Recommended for year-end parties! The Up-Down-Left-Right game
Up-Down-Left-Right Game

It’s a game where, whenever the words “up,” “down,” “left,” or “right” appear in a sentence, you have to face that direction.

It must respond to both on’yomi and kun’yomi readings.

You do need to prepare sentences in advance, but as long as you have those, it’s an easy game to play.

Chopstick Catch

Explosive reflexes required! Grab it with your soul! Chopsticks THE Catch [Party game for banquets, parties, year-end gatherings, and after-parties!]
Chopstick Catch

It’s a simple game where someone drops a pair of disposable chopsticks and you try to catch them.

It sounds easy, but because you never know when the person will drop them, it’s surprisingly tricky.

Chopsticks that seem catchable but slip away! It’s simple, but it really gets people excited.

after-the-fact rock-paper-scissors

[Banquet/Party Game] Engage your brain to the max! Reverse Rock-Paper-Scissors Game
after-the-fact rock-paper-scissors

First, choose one person to be the caller.

If the caller says, for example, “Please lose—rock, paper, scissors!” and throws rock, then anyone who throws scissors is correct and stays in.

Anyone who throws something else is eliminated on the spot.

It’s a version of rock-paper-scissors where you play after the cue and follow the instruction.

The last person remaining wins.
