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.
Umaibō Sommelier
Have you heard of the Umaibo Sommelier Game? You put on a blindfold and a nose clip, and try to guess the flavor of an Umaibo snack.
Sounds fun, right? The key is guessing which flavor it is from Umaibo’s rich variety.
It’s sure to be a hit with both families and friends! The unexpected difficulty of not being able to taste properly brings a mix of laughter and surprise.
If you prepare prizes, the excitement goes up even more! Why not try it at your next get-together or party? As a game everyone can join, it’s sure to liven up the room.
Intro Quiz
Let’s get excited with an intro quiz! It’s a game anyone can enjoy: guess the song title from just the first few seconds.
From AKB48’s hit tracks to the latest songs by BUMP OF CHICKEN, your selection can make it fun across generations.
When that nostalgic tune starts playing, you might find yourself singing along before you know it.
The host should pick songs that match the participants’ tastes.
It’s sure to strengthen bonds with friends and coworkers! Try adding an intro quiz to your next party or gathering—it’ll become an unforgettable memory.
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!
Southern Cross Expedition
It’s an exciting theme where you become a member of the Southern Cross Expedition Team and go on a treasure hunt.
It begins when you receive a message from a teammate saying, “I found treasure on a southern island, but it’s heavy—please help.” However, communication is cut off partway through, and the story revolves around completing the remaining map.
Each member holds different pieces of information, and you can’t reach the answer unless everyone shares what they know.
The key is not to keep your own information to yourself, but to share it and work cooperatively with your teammates.
While enjoying the fun of deduction and organizing information, you also learn the importance of trusting your companions.
The very process of completing the map through repeated discussions is a stimulating theme that lets you experience a real sense of accomplishment.
Finding commonalities
Common-ground finding is a fun game that helps you talk with people you’re meeting for the first time and feel closer to them.
There are various ways to play: for example, participants form pairs or groups and, within a time limit, look for things they have in common through conversation; or they present common points they’ve written down in advance—those are standard approaches.
Conversations can stall without a prompt, so set simple topics like “How you spend your days off” or “Favorite foods.” It’s also a good idea to set a target number of commonalities to find beforehand.

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.
