Party games that liven up group dating events. Fun recreational activities.

When it comes to livening up a group dating party, party games are essential.

There are plenty of classics like the Yamanote Line Game and the King’s Game, but aren’t they starting to feel a bit stale?

This time, we’d like to introduce some games that are perfect for group dating and that you should definitely know about.

Party games that liven up group dates. Fun recreations (31–40)

Balloon time bomb

[Hilarious] We played the Yamanote Line game with a balloon time bomb and the high schoolers completely lost it laughing lololol

Bundling games like the Yamanote Line game, shiritori, and word association, this pass-along game—where you hand it to the next person after each answer—shines because everyone shares the same heart-pounding suspense of not knowing when it will explode.

It’s great for all ages and works in a wide variety of situations.

Saito-san Game

I tried compiling the Saito-san Game. (3) Trending on Twitter! Trending on docomocm! Saito-san Game Trendy Angel

The Saito-san game has been growing popular among students for several years.

It’s a rhythmic game based on the signature bit of Saito from Trendy Angel, so it can be a bit challenging for someone who’s never tried it before.

But when men and women who enjoyed it during their school days play it at a group date, it’s a great way to break the ice and bring them closer.

Balloon Popping Game

The balloon-popping game is exhilarating on its own, but if it’s being played by men and women looking to meet someone, it’s better to have some heart-pounding flair.

In this version, men and women in swimsuits are playing in a pretty sexy way, and of course it should be adaptable for group dating events as well.

Bobu Jiten

No Katakana Allowed! Let's All Play Bobu-jiten!

Bob Jiten is a simple yet surprisingly engaging board game where you have to explain katakana words using only Japanese.

If you’re not comfortable with mixer approaches like body touch, doing a mental workout like this to bring people closer can be a good alternative.

First Impressions Game

I tried the first-impressions game!
First Impressions Game

It’s a simple game where everyone just points out what they thought and felt at first impression, but when a man and woman who’ve just met play it, it actually gets pretty lively.

If you mix in a few small penalties as forfeit games, it becomes even more fun.

Nose-to-nose transfer game

The game where you pass a Kappa Ebisen from one nose to another was way too gross for me to handle.

Shoving a Kappa Ebisen up your nose may look downright silly, but when you pass it to the other person without using your hands, you’ll inevitably end up surprisingly close.

It’s a game with lots of heart-pounding, touch-heavy moments, so it’s guaranteed to get everyone excited.

A game where everyone matches their answers

One Piece! We played a game where everyone has to match their answers, and it was hell lol. We can’t stop until we succeed three times in a row! ONE PIECE
A game where everyone matches their answers

This is a game where everyone thinks of an answer to a given prompt and tries to match those answers.

Since the prompts allow for multiple correct answers, your teamwork in aligning responses will be put to the test.

If you can discuss too thoroughly, it becomes easier to match answers, so it’s recommended to set clear boundaries for how much discussion is allowed.

It’s not only about testing whether your thoughts align; progressing with strategies—such as choosing to match a specific person’s answers—may also be important.
