Double-Double Fight! Game
@run_magma What is “Double Double FIGHT”? 😂 This time, we took on the Double Double FIGHT! game!! It was so fast—it felt like a tongue twister lol Still, we teamed up with the interns and our crew to tackle it! So, how did it turn out?! Be sure to watch the video!! ☺️President and SubordinateTranslationTranslation#CANDYTUNEDouble Double FIGHT
♫ Original Song – Run! Magma – Run! Magma
Answer to the rhythm and tempo! Double-Up Fight! Here’s a game idea.
It’s a game you play along with part of CANDY TUNE’s song “Double-Up FIGHT!” The tricky part is answering without getting tripped up, using words that sound like “bai” (double) or “fight.” For example, it’s fun to keep the rhythm on the spot while looking at illustrations and saying things like “daikon, renkon, kyu-kon (bulb), kyuukon (proposal), kekkon (marriage), taikick.” Give it a try and work it into your activities!
Came Alone Game
It’s hard unless you pay close attention to your surroundings! Here’s an idea for the “I Came Alone” game.
This game creates a sense of unity, but if you’re not observant, you’ll fail.
The first person stands up while saying, “I came alone,” then two people, then three, and so on as the number increases.
It’s simple yet tricky, so once you reach five people, it’s a good idea to go back to “I came alone.” Once everyone gets used to it, you can try arranging it as “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”
Balloon Game
Liven up your party! Here are some balloon game ideas.
A balloon game is a simple game where you strike specific poses according to the instructions, but the trick is that the movements and the words get mixed up and make it challenging.
For example, when the instruction is “big balloon,” you make a small circle with both hands and say, “Yes!” When the instruction is “small balloon,” you make a big circle with both hands and say, “Yes!” And when the instruction is “normal balloon,” strike the designated pose while saying, “Yes, yes!”
Majority Game
Choose from two options! Here are some ideas for a Majority Game.
A majority is the group that makes up most of a crowd, right? This time, let’s try a Majority Game where the goal is to belong to the majority.
Those who choose the minority lose, and those who choose the majority earn points.
In parties of four or six, if the group splits evenly, call it a draw and move on to the next topic.
Preparing a penalty game for the end will make it even more exciting!
Mozzarella Cheese Game
Great for breaking the ice! Here are some ideas for the Mozzarella Cheese Game.
In recent years, it’s likely a game many people have tried.
The rules are simple: in a group, players take turns saying the word “mozzarella cheese,” and each person must say it with more enthusiasm than the person before them.
If it’s hard to judge the level of enthusiasm, you can adapt the rule to require speaking louder than the previous person instead.
It’s a fun way to help ease nerves at a party.
3-letter game
@lck_f_unite_d.c Complete a single word with three people!stafftranslationTranslation
♬ Athletic Meet “Heaven and Hell” (No Introduction) – Shinonome
Let’s unite our minds and answer the prompts together! Here’s an idea for a Three-Letter Game.
The Three-Letter Game is played with a minimum of four people: one prompter and three participants.
The prompter should choose prompts that are easy for participants to answer.
For example, something with a wide range of possible answers like “hot pot ingredients” works well.
The three participants each provide one character, and if they manage to complete a word, they clear the round! The key is to think of common, general answers—not your personal niche preferences.
Give it a try!
Conversation Breakdown Game
https://www.tiktok.com/@aisatsujo/video/7415794355321064711Do chatty people get tripped up more easily!? Here are some ideas for a “conversation-not-completed” game.
As the name suggests, it’s a game where players take turns saying things in a way that prevents the conversation from making sense.
The simple rule is: you lose if the conversation ends up making sense with your partner, or if you can’t come up with anything to say.
You need at least two players, but it would probably be a hit with a big group at a party, too.
Before you know it, the conversation might accidentally come together—cue the laughter all around.
