Party Games That Get the Office Buzzing [2026] (1–10)
Perfect Fit Game
It’s a game where you answer numerical questions with the exact right number.
If you’re playing at work, it gets more exciting when the questions use company-related numbers.
Ask questions that your coworkers might not know, and everyone will have fun together.
Rock-Paper-Scissors for 100 Yen
Each participant brings 100 yen, and the winner receives 100 yen from the loser.
It’s only 100 yen per person, but with many participants it adds up to a considerable amount.
The last person standing takes everything, so the final showdown is sure to be exciting.
Guessing game with childhood photos
It’s a game where you bring photos from when you were a child and guess whose childhood photo is whose.
Like in this video, I think it would also be fun to gather completely unrelated photos.
You can share stories from when you were little and learn unexpected things about each other’s past, so there are lots of ways to enjoy it.
In-joke quiz
Quiz tournaments are a classic game, aren’t they? You can play with a small group without worrying about the number of people, and they work great with large groups too.
Choosing quiz questions is fun, but how about creating your own? Even better, try making questions based on company in-jokes and common workplace experiences.
It would be exciting to throw in some hardcore, “You even knew that?”-level trivia to really liven things up.
Stocking Sumo
It’s a game where two people pull on a stocking worn over their heads, and the one whose stocking comes off first loses.
It’s often featured on TV shows, so many of you might be familiar with it.
It inevitably makes your face look funny, which really gets everyone excited.
Quiz: Let’s Aim for the Sweet Spot!
The buzzworthy board game “Good to go! Quiz SHOW!” features quiz questions that are all answered with numbers—and nobody actually knows the correct answers.
The rules are simple: players take turns tackling a question and write down the number they think is correct on a board or card.
The person closest to the correct answer earns points, and after multiple rounds, the total scores determine the winner.
Since all the questions are ones you don’t really know the answers to, the thrill of making a guess and the excitement it creates are the highlights.
Playing with family or friends sparks conversation and laughter, making for a great time.
It’s a quiz game anyone can jump into with ease.
Dokidoki Frisk
It’s a game where someone places a Frisk mint on your forehead, and you have to move it to your mouth using only your facial muscles.
You inevitably end up making funny faces while trying to get it to your mouth, so it’s a game that’ll make people laugh.
It’s more of a game I’d recommend for men.
