da.re.da

A Local (Japan) Version of a Fun Party Game

da.re.da is a simple party game for 4 to 12 people. It is based on the popular traditional (Western) party-game known as "celebrity," and other names.  It involves two teams trying in various ways to communicate the identity of a famous cultural figure in order to win points.

A few years ago, we discovered a British remix of this game called Monikers. We loved the idea of turning Celebrity into a game with a nice deck of character cards, and decided so we decided to make our own version that focuses on Japanese culture. 

Print and Play

da.re.da is a remix of the popular party-game Monikers. We borrowed the game's simple mechanic, and made our own cards that focus on Japanese culture.  We've modified the rules slightly too to make the game play a bit faster. You can download da.re.da here.  This file has instructions in Japanese and English and all the cards we've made so far.  Print the game, cut out the cards, gather your friends, and you'll be ready to play!
