Weathering With You Game64rank/position
This is a game that uses RADWIMPS’ song “Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?” and can be enjoyed by two players.
The song, created as the theme for the animated film Weathering With You, is notable for Yojiro Noda’s powerful vocals.
In the game, not only your sense of humor but also your singing ability will be tested.
One player sings, “Is there still anything that [blank] can do?” and the other sings their answer to the given prompt in time with the song’s relaxed rhythm.
Try to keep it going for as long as you can!
Time Bomb Game65rank/position
How about trying a nerve‑racking, heart‑pounding time-bomb game? This game uses an item where a balloon pops when the time is up.
Players take turns answering prompts and pass the “bomb” along as they go.
The player holding the bomb when it explodes loses.
If you want something a bit easier to try, you can use an app that replicates the toy.
Either way, enjoy the thrill of not knowing when it will blow!
Who am I? game66rank/position
The “Who Am I?” game is a guessing game where you figure out your own identity.
You’re the only one who doesn’t know who you are.
Ask questions to the people around you and compete to see how quickly you can guess your identity.
Ask questions like “Am I food?” or “Am I a living thing?” to narrow it down and find the answer!
An apartment building where only teachers live67rank/position
Set in an apartment building inhabited only by teachers, this theme has you deducing who lives in which room.
Using 14 hint cards as clues, players share information to piece together the overall solution, making cooperation essential.
It’s crucial to decide how to share the cards in your hand and how to organize information from others’ statements.
Through conversation, both logical thinking and teamwork are tested, and the whole class gets excited.
As the deduction progresses, there are moments of discovery, and the sense of achievement when you reach the conclusion is exceptional.
It’s a theme that lets you enjoy the fun of cooperation and deduction.
Reaction Game68rank/position

♪ Original Song – Otona no Asobiba – Otona no Asobiba
Listen carefully to the instructions and move quickly—that’s the key! Here’s an idea for a reaction game.
It’s a great recreational activity for when you want to move your body even indoors.
All you need to prepare are items like color markers.
Once two people stand facing each other in pairs, you’re ready to go! When the game starts, march in place and touch the indicated part of your own body.
It’s a simple game where, when the caller says something like “elbow,” you grab the color marker.
Give it a try!
Shiritori Gesture Game69rank/position
A gesture-based shiritori game that will make you want to shout out loud! Guess the word suggested by the previous person’s gesture, then, just like regular shiritori, start your new gesture with the last letter of that word.
If your gesture doesn’t get across, or you use a word that ends with “n,” your team loses.
The key to this game is expressiveness.
Distinctive expressions can be hard to convey—even among close friends.
Embrace that challenge and have fun!
Bamboo shoot, bamboo shoot, nyokki-ki!70rank/position
Start with the chant: Take-no-ko, Take-no-ko, Nyokkikki! Everyone stands by in a circle, and then pops up like a sprouting bamboo shoot, calling out “1-nyokki,” “2-nyokki,” and so on.
If two people speak at the same time, they’re out! The rules are simple, but timing your voice while reading the room can be pretty nerve-racking.
The more players there are, the harder the game gets, so why not try it when you have a big group? You might need plenty of penalties ready!
