Perfect for killing time! A roundup of games for three people to enjoy

What kinds of games can you play when there are three people—like a close-knit trio, three siblings, or a family of three? Some games are easier with an even number, but once it’s an odd number, certain games get harder to play, right? In this article, we’ll introduce games you can play with your body or hands that work for three people.

We’ve gathered games you can use in various situations: to get some exercise, to burn off extra energy, or to kill time when you have a free moment.

Spend a fun time moving your body and hands together with your children or friends!

The “Haa” game

Episode 10: 'Kamiki & Kaji Are Going to Play the “Haa” Game'
The “Haa” game

“Haa” Game is a card game where players say a single line to match a given situation.

You draw a prompt card with a word like “haa” or “mm,” then use an Act Card to assign each player a specific situation to perform.

Players say the prompt word in a way that fits their assigned situation, and everyone guesses which situation that person is expressing.

If you guess correctly, both the guesser and the speaker earn points, and the player with the most points at the end wins.

It’s a game that puts everyone’s acting skills to the test!

Do you all know the telepathy game? This time, I’ll introduce a version of the telepathy game that’s super exciting even with three players.

The rules are simple: one person chooses a topic.

Then all three answer at the same time.

If all three answers match, it’s a big win! The goal is to see how many topics the three of you can get right together.

Even if you don’t match, you might discover something new about your friends.

Try coming up with topics and give it a go with your friends! It’s sure to be a blast.

Psychological Warfare & Deduction Games (11–20)

An interview where you must not say “yes”

Challenge: An interview where you’re not allowed to say “Yes”! [Collab with Jukiya-kun & Serishun-kun]
An interview where you must not say “yes”

Introducing a game invented by the hugely popular YouTuber duo, Sky Peace, called the “Don’t Say ‘Yes’ Interview.” It originated from a video they released in 2020, and since then many YouTubers have taken on the challenge, so chances are you’ve seen it before.

Here’s how to play: split into an interviewer and an applicant, and the interviewer asks questions as if it were a job interview.

The rule is that the applicant must not say the word “yes” at any point during the conversation.

Since “yes” is a word people tend to use frequently when speaking with someone senior, watching someone desperately try to avoid saying it is guaranteed to make you laugh.

Yes-No Game

[Inside My Head] Yes? No? Game!! [What could it be?]
Yes-No Game

The Yes/No Game is an interactive communication game in which you deduce an answer through questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no.” Here’s how to play: First, the answerer writes the answer on a piece of paper and keeps it hidden from everyone.

Writing it down prevents changing the answer later.

Then the questioners ask the answerer questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no.” For example, if the answer is “apple,” they might ask, “Is it food?” In this way, the questioners gather clues and figure out the answer.

It’s especially recommended for people who enjoy deduction games!

Who am I? game

[A Game Kids Can Enjoy] Who Am I? Quiz
Who am I? game

Let me introduce the “Who Am I?” game, which you can enjoy while using your imagination.

It’s a game where you guess what something is based on various hints.

For example, if the answer to the quiz is a refrigerator, you might give clues like: “I have doors,” “I am cold,” and “I come in large and small sizes.” By personifying the answer and providing several hints, the participants try to figure out what it is.

It’s exciting to search among many possibilities for the one that matches all the conditions.

The sense of satisfaction when you get the right answer can be addictive, too.
