The 1st Verbal Sparring Tournament!
Roast Battle Tournament

You might sometimes end up getting into a verbal spat with a friend, but no one goes out of their way to do that on purpose, right? As a game that lets you have a playful war of words, we recommend the “Verbal Showdown Tournament.” In this game, you compete in a tournament format to see who’s the strongest at verbal sparring.

Argue according to the given prompt, and let the judges’ decision determine the winner.

Game of Hell86rank/position

I’ve accidentally invented a hellish game that anyone can play…
Game of Hell

There’s an English term called “5W1H,” which represents things like “where” and “what.” This is a game where you decide each element by drawing lots.

It’s fun not only to enjoy the weird combinations you draw, but also to actually try them as a kind of penalty game.

It’s great for playing with friends, of course, and it’s also recommended as a way to break the ice and get closer to someone you’re interested in.

Dream Door Game87rank/position

[Dream Door Game] Introducing a super exciting game to play with friends!!
Dream Door Game

This is a recommended game for groups of 4 to 5 people! Prepare a total of seven abilities, such as “the ability to stop time for 3 seconds” or “the ability to make the target keep a straight face,” and assign each participant an ability.

Then, at the signal “Open! The Door of Dreams,” everyone uses their abilities, and the target must perform the action corresponding to that ability.

For example, if someone correctly calls out “the ability to stop time for 3 seconds,” and the target laughs or does a different action, they lose.

Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)88rank/position

[Hilarious] Caption this image! Doing an ogiri (comedy prompt) is tough, but it was still really funny lol
Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)

If you have lots of friends who love comedy, trying an ogiri (improv gag) game can be really fun.

In ogiri, the quality of the prompts matters too, so why not have everyone help create them? “Ogiri” covers many formats—like making jokes based on images, writing witty karuta clues, or creating acrostics—so give it a try in whatever style you like.

Giant Twister89rank/position

YouTubers assemble! We tried a giant Twister game with men and women!

Twister is usually played by two people, but with this giant Twister, a large group can play at once.

As the number of players decreases, it’s a good idea to restrict the playing area.

You might even enjoy making the Twister mat yourself.

It’s fun to revisit a nostalgic game after you’ve grown up.

mind games90rank/position

[Personality Test] Your fist says a lot about you. What are you really like? (Personality Diagnosis)
mind games

As a game you can play during short breaks like recess or while commuting, “personality quizzes” are a classic.

A popular genre of these quizzes involves inferring things like personality traits and views on love from your answers to questions.

Recently, many different kinds of personality quizzes have appeared, so it’s fun to look around and see what you can find.

Recreation Popularity Rankings for High School Students (91–100)

I tried making a cheer song.91rank/position

Support is power: I tried making a cheer song for each member.
I tried making a cheer song.

Even with close friends, there aren’t many chances to cheer them on by actually singing a cheer song.

Creating a cheer song and enjoying it together is a great indoor recreation idea.

You can all make a cheer song with content that will delight your friend, or vote to choose the best one from the cheer songs everyone created—there are lots of ways to have fun with it.
