BlindSquare
This is a game where the team holds a rope tied into a loop and, with their eyes closed, tries to form shapes like a square using the rope.
It’s crucial to figure out where your teammates are, so be mindful about communicating with one another as you proceed.
Your strategy will be tested—such as the order in which you check positions and how you adjust the shape from there.
The more participants join, the more complex and challenging the shapes become, so gradually build familiarity and work your way up to tackling more difficult shapes.

♪ Original song – Koutoku TikTok Corps – Koutoku TikTok Corps
Here’s an idea for an indoor cooperative game that even adults can’t help but laugh at: “Say the Same, Do the Opposite.” Participants link arms, and everyone except the caller acts as a single team.
They respond to commands like “Right!” or “Crouch!”, but the actual movement is the opposite.
If the caller says “Right!”, the team shouts “Right!” while moving left.
If they hear “Crouch!”, they yell “Crouch!” while jumping.
The mismatch between voice and movement creates confusion and a chain reaction of slapstick chaos—the game’s biggest charm.
When the pace is snappy, it feels exhilarating; the more mismatched it gets, the more guaranteed the laughter.
It builds team unity and is highly recommended for icebreakers and recreational activities.
Trust Game
@quuun_tiktok Taking on the “Trust Game” where muscle soreness is inevitable!! lolTrust Game#Biancaholloway#viralRecommendation#fyp#JK#JC#QUUUN
♪ Original song – QUUUN!! – QUUUN!!
Here’s a trust game you can play by cooperating and relying on one another.
Form a circle with a few people and hold hands.
To the rhythm of the music, keep your posture and remain still until the next signal.
You’ll gradually move from standing to a sitting posture, but maintaining the same posture while holding hands will require a lot of endurance.
Try encouraging each other as you take on the challenge.
If someone’s posture collapses, the whole circle might fall apart at once.
Trust your teammates and do your best all the way to the end.
Say one thing, do the opposite! Game
@moecoregakuen♪ Original Song – FREVIA – FREVIA
A brain-teasing party game: Say the same, do the opposite! Here’s how to play.
Get a few people to stand in a circle.
One person calls out commands.
When they say “forward,” everyone should say “forward” out loud but move their bodies backward.
When they say “right,” say “right” but move your body to the left, and so on.
As the rounds go on, people may lose focus and start making mistakes.
It’s a hilarious game that gets more exciting with larger groups!
The cup game that requires cooperation

You can only clear the game if everyone who joins works together! Here’s an idea for a cooperation-required cup game.
It’s great for strengthening class unity and building bonds.
It also takes little prep, so give it a try.
All you need are paper cups, a rubber band, and strings.
Tie one string per participant to the rubber band and you’re ready to go! Aim to clear the challenge by arranging or stacking the paper cups.
The key is controlling your strength!

Samurai sword-fighting (chambara) battle
It’s a large-scale mock sword-fighting game where teams clash on a battlefield.
Participants hold sponge swords and wear a ball called a “life” on their arm, aiming to knock off the opposing team’s ball with their sponge swords.
It’s advantageous to gang up on a single opponent with multiple teammates, so your strategy for how to press the attack really matters.
To keep things safer and more exciting, it’s recommended to set rules like only using the hand holding the sponge sword and only targeting the arm with the ball.
Ping-pong ball relay
It’s a game that tests speed and teamwork, played like a relay using a spoon with a ping-pong ball on it.
The course has you go around set cones and come back, focusing on balance so you don’t drop the ping-pong ball.
Because teams compete on speed, the rush to go faster makes it harder to keep your balance with the ball.
A rule where two people hold hands and walk back adds a cooperative element, so that version is also recommended.
