Wasabi cream puff
It’s a game where, among several cream puffs prepared, there’s one with a large amount of wasabi hidden inside.

It’s okay if you don’t look or sound similar—honestly, it’s even funnier when you don’t! It’s a game everyone can enjoy together, and it works great for workplace gatherings too.
It’s a surefire way to bring bosses and team members closer.
No risk of injuries, and no bad vibes.
In the end, everyone’s laughing.
If you want to make your next drinking party more fun, definitely give on-the-spot impersonations a try!
one-shot gag
One-shot gags are perfect as punishments at drinking parties and banquets.
It’s a good idea to pick and imitate bits like those by Haranishi from FUJIWARA or Chuei from Nagareboshi.
If you choose a famous one, everyone will recognize it, so it’s sure to get laughs! Just make sure to go all in without being shy.
If you practice and build confidence, you’ll definitely get the crowd fired up.
Showing a one-shot gag also lets people see a side of you they don’t normally see, which is part of the charm.
Give it a try and make some fun memories!
bad-tasting foreign sweets
It’s an assortment of overseas jelly beans with terrifying flavors.
Just hearing names like “dead fish” and “baby wipes” is enough to make you feel uncomfortable, and it seems there are plenty more like that.
The candy’s package appears to come with a roulette wheel, so you can spin it to decide which flavor to eat as a penalty game.
Biri-biri

Familiar from TV, this penalty is guaranteed to get everyone hyped! It’s easy to understand, keeps things moving, and entertains the whole group in a short time.
A sudden little electric jolt flips the mood instantly and sets off a wave of laughter.
That said, it’s important to use it as a light spice.
