Company Party and Office Party Games That Liven Things Up (61–70)
paper tower
This is a paper tower activity where you use the provided copy paper or newspaper to build the tallest tower possible.
You’re only allowed to use paper—no tape or other tools.
That means you’ll need to discuss how to fold and stack the paper to achieve height.
While it’s a recreational activity, it tests teamwork and communication as you collaborate to create a single structure.
It’s a perfect fit for a company party.
Minority Game
Do you know what the commonly heard term “minority” means? Minority refers to a smaller group or a socially underrepresented group.
This time, I’ll introduce a game where being in the minority wins.
You discuss a specific topic and choose which opinion matches your own answer.
The fewer people who choose the same answer as you, the more you win.
Those participating in the discussion can also shape their opinions with the game in mind, so crafting a strategy is an important point too.
Russian roulette
One of the games that’s been getting a lot of buzz on TV shows is Russian roulette, isn’t it? In real Russian roulette, you point a revolver with just one live round at your own head and pull the trigger.
The real thing is terrifying, but people sometimes play adapted versions of Russian roulette at events or parties as a fun, exciting game.
For example, if you pick a food or drink that’s been loaded with something super spicy or bitter, you’re in for a bad time.
Doing it with things like rice balls or bread really gets the crowd going.
Tasting Umaibo Blind (Flavor Identification)
You say, “I can tell the difference between Umaibo flavors in one try!” But can you say the same with a blindfold on? “Kiki Umaibo” is a game where you guess the flavor of Umaibo while blindfolded.
Umaibo comes in a wide variety of flavors—from classics like Vegetable Salad, Corn Potage, and Mentaiko to limited-time and regional exclusives.
When you see the package before eating, recognizing the flavor feels obvious, but identifying it using only your taste buds is surprisingly difficult.
If you consider yourself to have a sharp sense of taste, we’d love for you to join this game!
Spout! Ping-Pong Ball
It’s a game where you put a ping-pong ball in a container and blow on it to try to push the ball out of the container.
It’s a classic, simple, and easy-to-understand game.
Since it ends quickly, the gameplay is likely to proceed rhythmically.
Be careful not to blow too hard, as you might get lightheaded from lack of oxygen, so try not to get too carried away.
Rotating Shiritori 21
It’s a game where you write a shiritori chain in a circle on a round board.
The first and last letters must match perfectly.
The challenge is to see who can create a 21-character circular shiritori the fastest—sounds like something that could really liven up the office, doesn’t it?
Close-up Quiz
This is a “close-up quiz” where you look at photos taken from extremely close range and guess what’s in the picture.
You’re sure to struggle with photos that are too close and out of focus, or ones that are a single solid color with no distinguishing features! It’s easy to prepare if you use familiar everyday items as the subjects.
Plus, during the answer reveal, everyone will get excited with reactions like, “So that’s what it looks like up close!?” It might be a good idea to keep snapping photos of things that could make good material in your daily life.
