There is the drawback that you have to prepare various props, but when a man and woman who have just met play it, it definitely brings them closer.

It’s also fun to liven things up with a Japanese old-school game that’s been passed down since ancient times as a party entertainment.

KY game

SixTONES [KY Game]: Who’s the one who can’t read the room?

If you’re getting bored of the same old classic party games everyone knows, why not try the KY Game? In this game, you come up with a pose to match a prompt and reveal it all at once—your ability to read the room is put to the test.

The key is to think of a unique pose that doesn’t overlap with anyone else’s.

But honestly, it’s often even funnier when people do end up matching.

It doesn’t require any props and you can play it anywhere—that’s part of the charm.

Use your intuition and creativity to get everyone hyped! At your next mixer, be sure to spark a wave of laughter with the KY Game.

Musical chairs

[Showdown] We Tried an All-Out Musical Chairs Game at UUUM’s Office! [Paopao Channel × Bonbon TV]

The simple gameplay of this musical chairs-style game makes it easy to have a lively time even in a bright office.

If you play it at a group dating party, it gets even more exciting.

Since guys and girls end up sitting quite close to each other, it’s recommended for that reason too! Just be careful not to get too rowdy and bother the venue.

rubber band snap

[Showdown] You lose if you let go of the rubber band, but the winner goes through hell.

A rubber-band snapping game that looks painfully intense.

In reality, it doesn’t hurt that much, but holding it in your mouth and stretching it gives you just the right thrill.

It might feel like a punishment for losing some game, but it gets exciting if you prepare a reward for the winner—like letting them ask for the other person’s email address or phone number.

Gesture Game

[Avntis] All-Out Gesture Game Showdown!

A gesture game where you convey a given prompt to your partner using reactions.

The frustration when you can’t get it across—and the joy when you do—are more than enough to make it a blast even sober.

It’s guaranteed to liven things up, even for men and women meeting for the first time!

putting mat

Silent Putting Mat

A putting mat is a set for dads to practice indoors.

But even people with no golf experience can handle something like this right away, so it’s fun to bring along as entertainment for a group date.

If you give the winner a prize or some kind of reward, it’ll definitely liven things up—highly recommended!

bowling

For a lively mixer, go for private-room bowling.

By forming mixed-gender pairs and competing as a team, you can boost intimacy.

Simply sitting and talking can be difficult and off-putting for people who aren’t good at conversation, right? Since you might not know if you can be on the same team as the girl you’re interested in or the boy you’re aiming for, don’t forget to get creative—like reshuffling teams after each game.
