Company Party Games That Get Everyone Excited (41–50)
Weight Guessing Game
How about a weight-guessing game that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age or gender? The rules are very simple: lift two items and guess which one is heavier.
The subjects can be people, everyday items like a smartphone or a roll of toilet paper, or heavier things like dumbbells.
It’s also fun to pick similar items, such as a hard baseball and a rubber baseball.
It might seem easy at first glance, but it’s surprisingly tricky.
You’ll be saying, “I didn’t realize it was this heavy!”—and the unexpected answers are sure to liven things up.
Company Party-Pleasers: Drinking and Party Games (51–60)
Weight Guessing Game
In a rock-paper-scissors tournament where you aim to keep winning until you’re the last one standing, the promise of prizes at the end really heats things up.
Going straight for a big prize is great, but how about a setup where the prizes step up gradually? Each participant holds a small prize; those who lose place their prize in a prize pool and leave, and the last person standing takes all the prizes.
Recommended variations include: everyone starts with the same item and the quantity grows as the game goes on, or participants freely choose their prizes so the winner can scoop up a variety of different items at once.
Balloon Tape Peeling Game
It’s a game where strips of tape are stuck onto a fully inflated balloon, and players take turns carefully peeling the tape off one by one without popping the balloon.
While it’s typically played as an individual competition, you can also make it a table-versus-table match by having each person peel one piece of tape from a balloon and compete on how many successful peels they achieve.
If a balloon pops, the loud noise can heighten the lively party atmosphere.
Adding a time limit for peeling the tape introduces the challenge of being both careful and quick, making the game even more exciting.
Calculating in a COOL way?!
It’s a game where you stack ice like building blocks.
Since you can use only the ice prepared for drinks, it doesn’t take much effort to set up.
The rules are very simple, so it seems easy to start.
The penalty is to put ice down your back.
That would wake you up in an instant.
Manpo ~ Dance
You often see people around the office wearing pedometers, and this is a game about how to rack up numbers as quickly as possible on pedometers that don’t register much unless you move a lot.
After trying things like flailing around and dancing in place, it turned out that jogging in place was indeed the strongest strategy.
Your silly little head
You attach party blowers on top of your head and blow so that the number of blowers that pop up matches the count called out, using your lung capacity.
Because they’re on your head, you can’t see them yourself.
It’s hard to adjust when you can’t see, isn’t it? When you need to raise three, it seems straightforward—you just blow as hard as you can.
The people taking part in the game are probably carefully adjusting how they blow, but the sight of it all is really entertaining.
I’ll carry the ping-pong ball with chopsticks.
There are many games where you carry things with chopsticks, but this one is for advanced players.
It’s a game where you pick up a ping-pong ball with chopsticks and transfer it to another ball.
Since ping-pong balls are slippery, sometimes it might actually be better to go in with some momentum.
Just be careful not to flick it and send it flying into the boss’s face.
