Is it an enlargement?
It’s a game where an enlarged image is shown and you buzz in to answer what’s being magnified.
It’s a quiz you often see on TV, right? When you actually try it, it can be pretty difficult.
Even slightly ambiguous close-ups of objects can be fun to look at, don’t you think?
After-the-fact rock-paper-scissors game
As the name suggests, it’s a game of after-the-fact rock-paper-scissors.
The host gives instructions like “please lose” or “please win,” and at the cue of “rock, paper, scissors!” everyone must throw their hand after the host.
It makes you think and is deceptively difficult.
You can also make it more fun by doing a last-person-standing format and turning it into a tournament.
NG word game
It’s a game where each person is assigned an NG word they’re not allowed to say, and the goal is to make others say theirs.
You play without knowing your own NG word, so it’s recommended to set words based on each person’s typical phrases or catchphrases.
Since you need a lot of conversation to get someone to say their word, it naturally helps everyone get closer.
In conclusion
We introduced party games and recreational activities that liven up a welcome party.
Since there will be many people meeting for the first time, focusing on games that help you get to know each other and team-based cooperative games will likely make it enjoyable for everyone.
Let’s plan it so that all participants can have fun and go home happy!
