Although not a traditional Japanese game, it was requested by the birthday girl herself! Away from the dining area, an area has been set up with cushions to sit on next to a table.
The table has a sign labeled 'CHARADES' and the game's instructions listed beneath. In front of it is a basket with folded pieces of paper. Please pick one, and whichever number you pick, then that is your team! There will be two teams, and size depends on how many want to play.
Before the game starts, everybody will receive a strip of paper that they can write a subject on (phrase, movie, play, song, animal, etc.), and then put in that team's bag. Each team writes the subject choices for the opposite team to act out, so the bags will be swapped and then held by a nearby helpful ghost.
Each team will get their turn having a player pick the subject out of their bag, and the number of rounds depends on the number of players. After everybody has gotten a turn, the team with the most points wins! What do they win? You will find out!

[ ooc; This is more for OOC organizational purposes than anything. Please leave a comment here with your character's subject suggestion if you want to join this game. I will wait half an hour to an hour after the first comment (depending on how many people volunteer) before assigning teams and commencing the first game.
If you comment late (and the game hasn't yet finished), don't fret! We can simply add your character in to an existing team and have them take their turn later. ]

Are you loving these games, or did you miss out on the game of charades? Fret not, for Nanako has also requested a modern game that is very similar to charades. This game section is set up similar to the way charades is, with cushions, and a table with the rules along with a basket of folded pieces of paper to pick out that list team numbers. There is also a small timer.
There is also a large whiteboard set up and an attached marker hanging from the side, and at each team's station there are cards facing down. Unlike the traditional game, there is no game board, instead implementing a point system.
If the player's team cannot guess what the picture means within sixty seconds, then the second team will get a chance to guess and steal their point. The first team to earn ten points wins!
