Personality test
Personality tests are popular games, and many people can’t resist trying them when they see them in magazines or online.
And when you hear that they were “used by the FBI,” it makes them even more intriguing, doesn’t it? If you want to enjoy these kinds of games with a group, it might be helpful to prepare a few questions in advance and write them down, or put them on flip cards for clarity.
Playing this game can also liven things up by revealing hidden sides of your friends.
Mr. Wolf, what time is it now?
Let’s play tag while enjoying a call-and-response using the phrase, “Mr.
Wolf, what time is it?” First, choose one player to be “It” (the wolf).
The children face the wolf and ask, “Mr.
Wolf, what time is it?” The wolf answers with various times, and if it’s anything other than “3 o’clock,” the children respond, “Phew, thank goodness!” If the wolf says “3 o’clock,” that’s the signal to start chasing.
Run away so you don’t get caught! Whoever gets caught becomes the next wolf.
Wink Killer
In this game, you use a lottery or similar method to choose a single Wink Killer, and then compete to see how many people they can wink at within five minutes.
The person doing the winking must avoid revealing that they are the Wink Killer.
Anyone who gets winked at must report it ten seconds later.
During those five minutes, everyone makes casual conversation, while the Wink Killer looks for chances to wink without being detected.
It’s more fun with three or more players.

Bamboo shoot nyokki
Here’s another game that originated from a TV show: “Takenoko Nyokki.” Everyone faces each other, presses their palms together, and starts with the cute chant, “Takenoko takenoko nyokki-ki!” Then, raising their joined hands upward like a growing bamboo shoot, players call out “1 nyokki!” “2 nyokki!” and so on as they extend.
There’s no set order; whoever “gets out first” wins.
If you speak at the same time as someone else, or if you can’t get out before the end, you lose.
Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)
A perfect time-killer? It’s an “oogiri” wordplay game.
Oogiri is a game where you take a given prompt and deliver a unique, clever answer that gets everyone laughing.
If you know the long-running TV show “Shoten,” that’s an easy reference point.
Whether you can fire back smoothly depends on how quick-witted you are.
Whether you bring down the house—or not—is up to you!
Who am I? quiz
The rules of the “Who Am I?” quiz are that participants ask questions to figure out “who I am.” Players compete on how quickly they get the correct answer; the faster one wins.
It’s a video you can watch and feel like you’re participating even if you don’t know the answers.
I didn’t know any of them at all.
It seems like something that people may be good or bad at, but it doesn’t require any props and still looks like it would be exciting.
I love you game
Have you heard of the “I love you game” that’s popular among young people? It’s a simple game you can play anywhere with two or more people: one person says “I love you,” and the other replies “I love you.” If you laugh or can’t say it, you’re out.
It sounds so simple you might wonder, “What’s fun about that?” But the truth is, it’s embarrassingly awkward.
You end up laughing from embarrassment and can’t get the words out.
The trick is to gradually change the way you say it.
