Indoor recreation popularity ranking (91–100)
Mansion Game92rank/position
Let me introduce a rhythm-based apartment game.
There is a five-story apartment building, and the person who first reaches the 5th floor loses.
Assign room numbers to players one by one.
For example, rooms on the first floor are numbered 101, 102, 103, and so on.
Once the game starts, say your own room number, then call out the room number of the next person.
Keep the game moving at a steady tempo with hand claps and a time limit.
If someone is called but fails to respond in time, their room number advances to the next floor—201, 202, 203, etc.
The person who ends up reaching the 5th floor loses.
It’s a thrilling apartment game—let’s keep our focus and play with good rhythm.
If you match someone else, you lose! A one-of-a-kind showdown93rank/position
Games where everyone tries to give the same answer to a prompt—like “What’s your favorite rice ball filling?”—are pretty familiar, right? “Clash of the One-and-Only: If You Match, You Lose!” is a game where everyone tries to give a different answer to the prompt! It’s a game that somehow didn’t exist until now.
Your originality will be put to the test.
Prepare yourself!
Game of Hell94rank/position
What is the “Hell Game”? The name might sound a bit scary, but it’s a game you can enjoy endlessly—almost like an infinite hell.
First, prepare a set of lottery-style slips that separately list the elements of a scene: when, where, who, and what.
Sort them into categories—when, where, etc.—and draw one from each.
Then you read the resulting sentence and have fun laughing at how funny it is! If that still feels a bit too tame, try actually performing the action described by the sentence.
Suddenly, it turns into a thrilling, heart-pounding game.
If you draw a truly outrageous sentence, you might just go through hell…
Beef Tongue Game95rank/position
The brain-teasing Gyutan game is perfect for group play, where focus and memory are key.
Players sit in a circle and say “Gyu” out loud, then on the “tan” part, they clap without speaking.
Pay extra attention because the final “tan” comes in succession.
After one round, move to the second, third, and so on, increasing the number of final “tan” claps by one each time.
As the rounds progress, the number of “tan” claps increases, so remember the count and try not to make mistakes.
Once you get used to it, picking up the tempo can make it even more exciting.
3D puzzle96rank/position
It’s a puzzle game that usually has a strong two-dimensional feel, but this is the three-dimensional version.
You build shapes like building blocks to match the sample diagrams.
It’s a game where spatial awareness is important.
Even young children around kindergarten age can enjoy it.
Paper Cup Jenga97rank/position
Let’s enjoy the thrill! Here are some ideas for Paper Cup Jenga.
Jenga is a simple party game played with wooden blocks, where players take turns removing blocks from a stacked tower without toppling it.
This time, let’s put a twist on Jenga—fun for both kids and adults—using paper cups and printer paper.
It’s also great because setup and cleanup are easy.
It’s perfect for recess or short breaks, so give it a try!
Whose Voice Game98rank/position
Form teams of several people, and have the representative team come to the front.
One person will speak, and the other teams should listen with their eyes closed.
It’s a game where you guess whose voice it is.
If the whole team guesses correctly, they earn 1 point! Repeat this, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
The speaking team should try to disguise who it is by changing their voice or doing impressions.
Prepare slips of paper or mini whiteboards for everyone to write their guesses.
You can also play it as an individual competition.
