Smartphone speed-typing showdown
Typing text on a smartphone is something we all do every day without thinking.
Because it’s an action each person does individually, we don’t often get to see how others do it.
This is a simple game where you compete to see who can type fastest on their smartphone.
A prompt sentence is shown in front of you, and once you finish typing it, you send it as a message.
By having everyone post to the same group, you can easily check not just typing speed but also mistakes like typos and omissions.
It’s also fun to add rule variations, such as typing with both hands or with one hand.
High & Low
It’s a simple game where you predict whether the number on the next flipped card will be higher or lower than your opponent’s card.
First, the dealer places a card from the deck on the table, and the other players declare whether the card they play from their own deck will be “high” or “low.” If they’re correct, they win the card on the table; if they’re wrong, the card they played is discarded.
In the end, players compete by the number of cards they’ve collected.
One appealing aspect is that you can add variations, such as special rules for certain numbers.
With the bluffing element of tracking which cards remain, it’s an easygoing game that can still get quite exciting.
Real Puzzle-Solving Game
It’s a game where you search for mysteries scattered across the field and unravel them in various ways.
If you set up a story and unfold puzzles that match the narrative, players can truly immerse themselves in the world, which also strengthens their approach to solving the puzzles.
A cooperative format where participants work together to solve the mysteries is recommended; that way, even those who aren’t confident in puzzle-solving can still fully enjoy the story.
How you build the world, place the puzzles, and combine these elements to create the flow are key points for energizing the experience.

Games of all ages and places
Also known as the Yamanote Line Game, “Kokon Tozai” is a classic party game that’s long been a staple wherever lots of people gather, like at banquets.
The rules are simple: take turns saying words that fit a given theme, such as “When you think of ___.” If you can’t come up with an answer smoothly in rhythm, or you repeat something that’s already been said, you’re out.
These days, you can even buy sets that include cards with prompts, but of course you can play without any cards.
If you’re with coworkers or friends who share the same interests, you can even enjoy coming up with your own themes, like “workplace clichés” or “names of idol group members.”
Atama-Oshiri Game
Let’s have some fun with words! Here’s an idea for the “Head-and-Tail” word game.
Try the popular TV-style Head-and-Tail game.
While you dance to the music, the first letter and the last letter of a word are shown.
If you can answer with a fitting word within 10 seconds, you clear the round.
It seems your score is based on the number of letters that go between the first and last letters.
Keep the rhythm, stay flexible, and think of as many different words as you can!
Merry Christmas Rhythm Game!
“Merry-Cri Rhythm Game” is a rhythm game that even children can enjoy.
When someone says “Santa’s beard,” stroke your chin as if showing a beard while saying “Ho ho ho.” When someone says “Santa’s sleigh,” stretch both hands forward and shake them while saying “Jingle jingle jingle.” Listen carefully to which one is called out and move so you don’t mix them up.
Speeding up the rhythm increases the difficulty, so try that once you get the hang of it.
Treasure Hunt
It’s a straightforward game where participants search for hidden treasures within a designated field.
Instead of hiding the prizes themselves, it’s recommended to hide envelopes containing slips of paper that describe the prizes.
This increases the number of possible hiding spots.
You can also boost the game’s appeal by writing missions on the hidden slips and making the treasure redeemable upon completing the mission.
Consider setting rules that match your objective—whether you want an exciting competition where everyone aims for the treasure individually, or a cooperative challenge that strengthens bonds as players work together toward the treasure.
