Office party games that get everyone excited

Oolong Shotgun

Oolong Shotgun [Perfect for party games, drinking games, year-end parties, and after-parties!]

This is a game where you have to guess the one extremely spicy tea hidden among glasses of oolong tea.

The way to guess, of course, is for each person to pick a glass and chug it in one go.

It’s a classic game, but because the reactions are immediate and obvious, it’s easy to get everyone hyped.

If the spiciness isn’t subtle but intense enough to make someone want to scream, it’ll likely be even more exciting.

Model Walking Relay

[Banquet/Party Game] 2×10m Relay: Model Walking Relay

It’s a game where you walk like a model with a magazine or similar item clamped between your legs and compete to see how quickly you can go from one end to the other and back.

Depending on the item—like a stuffed toy or a book—some can be quite hard to hold or walk with, so you can introduce a random element by changing the item for each person.

Tug-of-war North, South, East, and West

[Banquet/Party Game] Tug-of-War: North, South, East, West

Play with 3–4 people.

Tie one end of a towel or tenugui into a single knot, and each person holds an opposite end.

Just pulling would be a bit rough, so do it like a tug-of-war while standing on one leg to make your balance unstable.

The match is decided in an instant, but the sight of adults wobbling around is quite comical and sure to get some laughs.

Quick necktie tying showdown

After-Party/Year-End Party Game Reference Video Vol. 2: “Knot-Tying Queen Championship!” | For After-Party and Year-End Party Prizes, visit Prize King

A quick and easy speed contest you can do anywhere as long as you have a necktie.

Depending on the company culture, some workplaces might not require ties—but precisely because people don’t usually wear them, you can enjoy a competition to see who can tie a necktie the fastest.

spin around with a bat

Banquets, Year-end Parties, and Party Game Collection: Spinning with a Bat — Tips for Organizers

It’s a game where you stand a bat upright, press your forehead to it, spin around ten times, and then see how far you can walk.

It’s a classic game that’s been around for ages.

The faster you spin, the harder it is to walk afterward, so speed seems to be a key factor.

Some people are surprisingly resistant to dizziness, and those folks will surely earn admiring looks as they stroll along unfazed after all that spinning!

Make the image

[Banquet/Party Game] Make the Image

It’s a game where you pair up and strike poses to match a given theme.

If both people take the same pose, it’s OK, but if they’re slightly off or do completely different poses, it’s a fail.

In this video, for the theme “carpenter,” the two ended up taking entirely different poses, but for “police officer,” they both nailed it with a perfect salute.

It seems like you can gauge your compatibility.

Some of you may be using pedometers for your health.

Since many smartphones now come with a built-in pedometer function, there may even be young people who have never seen a standalone pedometer.

This little game using pedometers seems like something people of all ages can get really into.

You might even see your department head or manager going all out, mindlessly shaking a pedometer or their phone! There are lots of variations: time-attack challenges, matching a target count exactly, shaking two at once, and more.

Just be careful not to get too carried away and accidentally throw the pedometer.
