Punishment games that liven up drinking parties and banquets (21–30)
Pantyhose Sumo
Haven’t you seen it on TV shows and the like? It’s pantyhose sumo, where you pull on pantyhose worn over your heads and the one who manages to pull the other’s pantyhose off wins.
More than anything, the faces you make while tugging look awful, so it makes for quite a punishment game.
noni juice
It’s that common punishment on TV shows where you have to drink noni juice.
Apparently, it tastes incredibly bad.
Noni is a tropical fruit from Tahiti—an unusual plant that’s said to be very good for your health—but it seems to have a well-earned reputation for being awful-tasting.
get splashed with vomit spray
Vomit… in other words, it’s that thing created when what you’ve eaten gets mixed in your stomach and comes out.
In fact, there’s a spray on the market that reproduces that smell.
I don’t know why it was developed, but it seems to be sold as a party gag item.
It’s said to have quite a powerful odor, so it’s perfect when you want an easy, intense punishment game.
You can buy the spray online at shops and the like.
Be very careful when handling it, as smelling it from too close up could actually make you throw up.
Do the Baka Tono makeup
“Baka-dono” is a character played by Ken Shimura, known for his white-painted face, thick eyebrows, and bright red heart-shaped lips.
Anyone from that generation would recognize at a glance what makeup it’s modeled after.
No matter how handsome or beautiful someone is, once they wear this makeup, their looks don’t stand a chance.
That’s how impactful it is—it’s makeup specialized in making people laugh.
Try crossing your eyes and striking the “Aiin” pose, and be sure to capture a memory photo while you’re at it.
Talk about the biggest failure in my life.
Everyone wants to keep their embarrassing stories hidden.
That’s exactly why they’re perfect for a penalty game.
From cute childhood slip-ups to embarrassing blunders as adults, let’s take this chance to share them with everyone! However, only share what the person feels comfortable talking about.
Don’t force anyone to reveal something they really don’t want to.
Also, after listening, avoid teasing—ask what they learned from the experience or how it helped them grow.
That way, you can move on to the next game in a positive mood.
to do monoboke (a Japanese comedy bit where a performer uses everyday objects as props for jokes or gags)
A “mono-boke” is a performance where you use props to make people laugh.
You might pretend a prop is something else, or draw humor out of the prop itself…
As long as you get laughs, anything goes in terms of method and content.
But since it’s a punishment game, you can’t plan your material in advance, and you have to perform with whatever’s on hand at the time.
That makes it a pretty tough challenge, but don’t worry about quality.
If you manage to get everyone laughing as a punishment, you could say you lost the game but won the match!
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!
