Stand-up game

[Banquet/Party Game] Guess How Many Stand Up! Stand-Up Game

This is an interesting game.

It’s a game you can play anytime as long as there are people around, and since everyone participates, it gets really lively.

One by one, each person predicts how many people will stand up and says a number.

If someone says “5” and only three people stand up, that’s a miss, so the next person guesses a number.

If someone says “3” and three people stand up, that’s a hit, and everyone cheers, “Oh!!”

Intuitive Tasting

Intuitive Tasting [Banquet Game, Party Game, Year-End Party! After-Party!]

It’s a game where you eat food served to you while blindfolded and with your nose plugged, and try to guess what you’re being fed.

The appeal is that you can use easy, bite-sized items like manju or other snacks.

It also sounds fun to be told in advance what item you’ll be eating and then try to guess the flavor.

Yamanote Line on the AirBench

Banquet/Year-end Party/Party Game Collection [Yamanote Line with Air Bench] For Organizers

It’s a game where you pick a theme and answer while doing a wall sit.

In this video, the theme is sports, but instead of just saying one sport, each person repeats what the previous person said and then adds their own answer at the end.

Because you’re in an air-chair (wall-sit) position, it’s physically tough and your brain stops working, and on top of that you have to listen carefully to the previous person’s answer.

It’s a very demanding game.

Gesture Game

Ru Miyazaki’s party trick No. 1: Gesture game (charades) at the year-end party

The gesture game is a classic at parties and gatherings.

Since it’s a staple, it’s guaranteed to liven things up.

There are many ways to play, but the most common pattern is to write prompts on a board behind the players, and the person who comes to the front looks at the board and, saying things like “What was that again?”, dances or imitates actions accordingly.

Prepare mini cream puffs and mix wasabi into some of them.

Regardless of whether they ate a wasabi-filled cream puff or not, everyone acts like something is spicy.

The viewers then play a game of guessing who actually ate the wasabi-filled cream puff.

Slipper relay

Banquets, Year-End Parties, and Party Game Collection: Slipper Relay — Tips for Organizers

Form groups of about five people and play a game where you pass a slipper to the person next to you using one foot.

If you don’t have a slipper, something like a slightly larger sandal should work fine.

Since you pass it with your feet, the clumsy movements look amusing to anyone watching.

Of course, the people actually doing it are probably on the verge of getting foot cramps.

Dokidoki Frisk

Banquet, Year-End Party, and Party Game Collection: “Heartbeat Frisk” — A Planner’s Sweet Spot

It’s a mystery who came up with a game like this, but despite being really simple, the idea is very entertaining.

The challenger sits in the formal seiza position and tilts their face upward.

In that position, they place a single Frisk mint on their forehead, and the person who, while making funny faces, manages to move it into their mouth and eat it wins—though it’s a tough game.

The mint hardly moves, and your face feels like it’s about to cramp.
