Question

Does this mean the two participants will kiss?

Community Answer

Yes, if you really want to win the game, because one of you has to break the kiss to lose. But some people stop eating the Pocky before kissing.

How do I play the pocky game in a group?

For a group, you can split off into pairs and see who has the least amount of pocky left. Or you can randomly pick a partner from the group and play.

Question

Why do people play this?

Community Answer

It is a challenge of wits, and to a certain extent, guts. If one person backs down, the player could be considered weak.

No, if you can find some other type of food that is like a biscuit stick or something like that, that will also work.

Question

If I was at a party and want to introduce the game, how would I do that?

Perhaps wait until there is a moment when everyone is trying to decide what to do next, or just make something up, like, "Hey guys, I was at another party and we played this game that was really fun..."

Question

Do we really have to kiss?

Community Answer

Yes those are the rules but obviously you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Try an alternative version or create your own rule if that rule makes you uncomfortable.

Question

Who would win if neither person lets go of the Pocky and you both kiss?

Community Answer

Most of the time. there will be a small piece of Pockey left between your lips, so either the one who gets it wins or the one who breaks the kiss loses; you can decide how you want to do it.

You can be the bystander and the one who cheers and all the stuff. Or, you can film the whole game and watch it with your friends later.

Question

This is a bad game for kids. What if someone was sick or had really bad germs and decided to do this game? Chocolate and crackers are to eat, not play kissing games.

BrittneyofHyrule

Community Answer

That is why this game is mainly played by teenagers and up. However, another kid-friendly version of a Pocky game can be played by seeing who can fit the most Pockys in their mouth.

How do you win?

Mia Smith

Whoever pulls away first is the loser of the game. If both of you don't pull away, it kind of results in a tie.

You don't need to know -- that's not how you determine the winner. The person who loses is the person who pulls away first.

Can I play the pocky game with my crush even if they do not like me back?

You can in theory, but don’t count on said crush agreeing to play if they don't like you back, and don't get your hopes up that they're going to change their mind.

Question

How do I gain length?

Community Answer

Try chewing faster than the other person if you want them to have the most left. If you want the most of the stick left, don't chew and wait for them to go.
