Hidden Talents That Liven Up the Office Party [2026] (1–10)
Dice stacking
Have you ever heard of dice stacking? If someone at a party asks you to show a little trick, this one is guaranteed to be a hit.
All you need is a cup and some dice, and you can become the star right away.
As you deftly stack the dice, you’ll have everyone glued to the action.
Increase the number of dice or pick up the pace to level up, and you’re sure to spark a storm of applause.
Why not master this hidden party skill?
Tasting/Comparative testing of XX
If you want to try a slightly unusual and fun game, “taste testing” is highly recommended! You can fill in the blank with anything—tea, potato chips, Umaibo, Häagen-Dazs, whatever you like.
Put on a blindfold, taste it, and guess things like which brand of tea it is or what flavor the potato chips are.
It’s surprisingly hard, which makes it exciting, and sometimes there’s a whiz who gets everything right—that really hypes things up.
Having a penalty for wrong answers would probably make it even more fun!
Impromptu caricature
Not a pre-prepared drawing, but an on-the-spot, improvised portrait! The subject can be anyone—someone celebrating a special occasion that day, a senior colleague you’re always grateful to, anyone is fine.
A skilled artist can do the drawing, or everyone can join in and compete to see who’s the best—it’s sure to be lively! You might even glimpse an unexpected talent.
If you’re doing it as a group, the person who suggests it should prepare paper and pens.
Once the drawing is done, give it to the person as a gift and make it a memory of the day!

Flash Anzan
Flash anzan (flash mental arithmetic) is great because everyone can enjoy it regardless of age or gender.
You instantly calculate the numbers that appear, arrive at the answer, and the person who answers fastest wins.
Flash anzan tests both your mental arithmetic and your ability to compute on the fly, so it’s sure to liven up company events or parties.
It’s also recommended to set a time limit and compete in a buzzer-beater format, either in teams or individually.
For events or parties, participating in costume might make it even more exciting.
breakdancing
If you can breakdance, you’re guaranteed to look cool and get everyone hyped! Still, it can seem pretty intimidating, so you might be inclined to shy away from it.
In that case, how about focusing on just one move and practicing it intensively? For example, with the Windmill—one of the most famous breakdance moves—you concentrate on reaching one hand to the opposite elbow from the Chair position and rotating on your shoulder.
Of course, make sure you’ve mastered the basic moves before giving it a try!
Write different characters with both hands
Writing different characters with both hands at the same time seems like something anyone could casually try, but it’s actually a tricky hidden skill.
Because you’re trying to keep the lines as straight as possible with both the right and left hands while balancing them, it feels like you’re using parts of your brain and muscles you don’t usually use.
For beginners, even a single character is difficult, so it’d be great if you practice until you can write a sentence and then show it off.
Grab a whiteboard and some markers, and get others to try it too—it’s sure to liven things up!
chugging a cola
Chugging a cola—hasn’t everyone tried it at least once? It looks simple, but this party trick is surprisingly tough.
If you not only drink but also suppress your burps while performing a tongue twister or a line from a song, the thrill ramps up.
Showing off the results of your practice is great, and having someone who happens to be there give it a try—and succeed—will definitely hype things up even more! Letting a small burp slip out on purpose, as long as it doesn’t make participants uncomfortable, might even help lighten the mood.
