Punishment Games That Liven Up Drinking Parties and Banquets (31–40)
showing a bare face
A recommended idea when there are many women is a punishment game where you have to show your bare face.
Prepare makeup remover oil and cotton pads, and have the loser remove a bit of their makeup each time they lose.
Many women really dislike showing their bare face, so the game can get very heated.
A Story That Never Fails (to Get Laughs)
How about doing something like the TV show “Hitoshi Matsumoto’s Suberanai Hanashi” as a punishment game? Not many people actually have a ‘can’t-fail’ story, right? Try to recall stories from your childhood or about your family and work hard to turn them into laughs!
Penalty Game Scratch
How about trying those penalty game scratch cards sold at variety shops? They’re scratch-offs with all kinds of forfeits written on them, like impressions or puns.
And lucky you—there are even “safe” spots mixed in!
pie in the face
When it comes to classic penalty games, a pie in the face is the go-to, right? It’s one of those full-on, physical punishments, but since it doesn’t involve pain or heat, it’s something people of all ages can try.
The downside is that, because the pie is loaded with cream, your clothes might get a bit messy.
If you’re planning a surprise pie-throwing penalty, it’s considerate to prepare something like disposable raincoats in advance to be kind to the person on the receiving end!
Earphone Loud Telephone Game
You often see this game on variety shows too, right? I think the classic “telephone game” format is fun for all ages.
Preparing the music device is easy nowadays since we have smartphones.
If you don’t have headphones, earphones will do just fine.
For older participants, pick prompts about trends among young people; for younger participants, choose prompts with a Showa-retro vibe—add a little twist in how you select the topics.
The limit might be around 20 characters that people can memorize at once.
Getting some bitter tea ready as a penalty could make it even more exciting!
Make a joke out of it
This is a comedy game where you look at a picture and come up with a witty caption—a kind of photo-based improv.
Not many people would say they’re great at it, right? You can search for images at random or use dedicated sites and respond based on those.
It’s a punishment game that really tests your sense of humor!
cross-dressing (male and female)
It’s a penalty game where women appear as men and men appear as women.
It might be relatively easy for women to dress as men.
For men to cross-dress, they have to put on makeup they don’t usually wear, put on a skirt…
It seems like men cross-dressing would get everyone more excited (lol).
helium gas
Inhaling helium gas to make a high-pitched voice has long been a classic one-shot gag, and it seems like it would be funny to use as a punishment game, too.
The more serious someone usually is, the bigger the contrast, and with a helium voice, anything they say becomes funny—so it’s sure to liven things up.
butt bat (a prank/hazing act of hitting someone’s buttocks with a bat)
It’s a very straightforward punishment where you simply get your butt smacked with a plastic bat.
As shown in the video where they ask passersby, it might be interesting to make it harsher by asking every single person at the drinking party to give one whack each.
Chugging a carbonated drink through an ultra-thin straw
Drinking a carbonated beverage through a straw is pretty tough, right? So here’s a punishment game: drink it using those ultra-thin straws you can buy at variety shops! It says chug it, but that’s probably impossible, so let’s either set a specific amount or impose a time limit!
