Fun recreational activities recommended for travel (11–20)
Word Wolf
In simple terms, “Word Wolf” is a game where you find the odd one out.
Each participant is dealt one card.
Each card has a word on it, but one card has a different word.
In other words, that person is the odd one out.
Once the game starts, use conversation to identify who it is.
Since you won’t know at first whether you’re the odd one out yourself, it’s best to avoid statements that clearly reveal the word.
At the end, everyone points to the person they think is the odd one out.
If the person with the most votes is indeed the odd one out, that person loses.
If they aren’t found out, everyone else loses.
Prince Shōtoku game
Inspired by the legend of Prince Shōtoku, who could listen to and distinguish multiple people speaking at once, this is a game where one person guesses keywords that several people say simultaneously.
You can tweak the rules, have players intentionally use similar words, and devise other variations to enjoy the game in many ways.
Wink Killer
You want to enjoy a thrilling, heart-pounding trip while chatting happily with friends, right? In times like that, we recommend the Wink Killer game.
The rules are simple—just draw a card to decide your role—and you can play anytime, anywhere.
It’s a deduction game where you try to find the killer, so it’s guaranteed to get everyone excited! It also tests your psychology and insight, making it a good brain workout.
Perfect for killing time while waiting or in transit.
If you get tired of sightseeing, why not give it a try with everyone?
10-yen soccer
It’s a game you can enjoy at inns and the like when there’s almost nothing to do, as long as you have a table and some loose change.
The rules are simple, but once you start playing it’s surprisingly challenging and gets exciting.
It seems like something you could enjoy with lots of friends by taking turns.
one pencil
Participants share a single pencil to draw simple pictures of a house, a road, the sun, and a flower on paper.
Although the drawings themselves are very simple, it’s an activity done cooperatively while being mindful of everyone’s feelings, making it a game that deepens communication.
Personality test
Trying out personality quizzes during spare moments—like while commuting or before bed—can be surprisingly fun.
These days you can do them on smartphone apps, so it’s really convenient.
If everyone takes them and compares results, you might discover unexpected things you have in common.

Hai Iha Don
This is a game you can play with everyone using just your hands, no equipment needed.
Form a circle and stack your hands, then switch positions to the cues “Hai” and “Iha.” At the signal “Don,” the person whose hand is at the bottom tries to slap from the top.
Everyone else tries to pull their hand away to avoid being slapped.
You can add feints and tricks to make it more exciting.
