Kimodameshi (きもだめし or 肝試し; lit. "test one's liver"),[1] or test of courage is a Japanese activity in which people explore frightening, and potentially dangerous, places to build up courage.[2][3]

Kimodameshi is usually played in the summer, in group activities such as school club trips or camping. At night, group of people visit scary places such as a cemetery, haunted house, or a forest path to carry out specific missions there.[4][5][6][7][8]
