Yellow: press once to laugh. Pink: tap repeatedly to applaud. Gold: hold and release on “Kanpai!”. Blue: do not press anything. Choose the gesture by color, then watch the speaker and the pause after the two-beat “ka” and “kiraan” cue. Pressing immediately can interrupt the conversation.

Play for free and controls

Open the official browser game, released and updated October 26, 2026. This one-button comedy rhythm game has five stages and an estimated three-minute run. Space, Enter, Z, left mouse click and touchscreen tap are interchangeable action inputs.

Bubble Action Meaning
Jagged yellow Press once Laugh
Pink speech or boast Rapid repeated taps Applaud
Gold with raised glasses Hold, release on toast Cheers
Blue with crying person No input Quiet support

“Kanpai” is the Japanese toast meaning “cheers”. Releasing is essential to the gold input.

Step-by-step run

  1. Start the game. If sound is delayed, use Settings → Timing Adjustment on the title screen; automatic measurement is listed.
  2. Identify the bubble color before acting. For yellow, wait for the two-beat cue and the conversational pause, then press once. For pink, make a short burst of taps.
  3. For gold, hold the button and release when “Kanpai!” is called. For blue, leave the controls alone.
  4. Complete the five stages, from a welcome party to client entertainment and late-night karaoke. Finishing unlocks an overtime mode whose BPM keeps increasing.

Tricks and FAQ

The creator describes a manager pretending to finish speaking, a colleague who must laugh first, and a visiting executive whose eyes suddenly flash. Watch expressions and actual sentence endings rather than assuming one fixed delay for everyone. This is a practical inference from official descriptions, not a measured perfect-score route.

Blue fails when pressed? Silence is the intended reaction. Gold fails? Check the release timing. Audio out of sync? Use calibration. How many stages? Five, plus overtime after completion.

The description jokes about promotion to company president or exile to an Antarctic branch, but exact ending thresholds, scoring formulas and timing frames are not established. No firsthand full clear is claimed. Bottom line: choose by color, then wait for the right moment. Gold means release; blue means do nothing. Restraint is an actual game mechanic here.
