Punishment games that liven up drinking parties and banquets

At drinking parties and banquets, there are plenty of chances to play party games, right?

How about adding a rule so it’s not just for fun: if you lose, you get a penalty!

It’ll liven things up with friends or your crew, and at company gatherings it’ll surely help bring bosses and subordinates closer together.

In this article, we’ve collected only penalty games that won’t cause injuries or make anyone feel bad—activities that let everyone end with a smile.

Use them as a reference and give them a try!

Let’s make drinking parties and banquets even more exciting with fun games and playful penalties!

Punishment games that liven up drinking parties and banquets (41–50)

Ultra Death Sauce

I ate the world’s hottest Death Sauce, “Ultra Death Sauce,” and things got crazy…
Ultra Death Sauce

It’s the classic punishment game: eating something spicy.

It’s a simple setup—just tasting the Ultra Death Sauce, said to be the spiciest in the world—but you can feel the sauce’s punch from their reactions on video.

If you get the amount wrong, it can be a real disaster, so I recommend keeping it moderate.

The one who stacks the pie tower higher wins!

Raise the excitement sky-high! A mega pie tower—and... a punishment game! [Banquet games, party games, year-end parties, after-parties!]
The one who stacks the pie tower higher wins!

It’s a penalty game using foam spray.

Two people compete, and the one who makes the taller pie wins.

The loser has to plunge their face into the pie tower they made—a very simple punishment.

It’s the kind of penalty game you often see on TV variety shows, but doing it in real life turns out to make your face quite messy.

doodles on the face

Funniest Face Doodle Championship!!!
doodles on the face

It’s a very simple and unpleasant penalty game where you draw something on someone’s face with a pen.

You can just doodle and be done, or you can turn it into a game to see who can make the funniest doodle, which could evolve into a harsh penalty game where nobody benefits.

Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans

Rock-paper-scissors showdown with Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans! Who has to eat the vomit and booger flavors?!
Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans

Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans are the infamous jelly beans from the Harry Potter series that include some truly awful flavors.

I think they’re perfect for punishment games and dares.

You can buy them at Hogsmeade in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka.

They come in unimaginable flavors like booger, earwax, black pepper, vomit, soap, earthworm, and rotten egg.

Don’t worry—there are safe flavors like marshmallow, too!

Introduce yourself using baby talk.

We had a blast playing a marshmallow stuffing game with a junior girl!
Introduce yourself using baby talk.

The punishment is for a fully grown adult to introduce themselves using baby talk.

Of course it’s naturally cute when an actual child does it, but if an adult does it, it seems like it would create an awkward atmosphere.

That said, if a girl does it, it might just come off as plain cute.

rubber band snap

[Daily Video] The penalty game is a rubber band snap! “10 Doors” you can play even without any props
rubber band snap

It’s a very painful penalty game where you bite a cloth made of strong rubber, have someone pull on it, and then let it snap back all at once.

While you’re biting the rubber, you’ll be on edge wondering when they’ll let go, and there’s no doubt you’ll be terrified imagining the pain when it hits your face.

Punishment Game Dice

Punishment Game Dice

This is an activity where you roll a die with various penalty games written on it to decide which one to perform.

It works well as a way to choose a penalty for the loser of a game, but it’s also fun to include items that let you avoid the penalty and make that the game itself.

Enjoy the excitement of not knowing which penalty will come up and the thrill of widely varying difficulty levels.

It also seems like a good way to spark conversation by having everyone bring penalty ideas they’d really rather avoid.

Lottery × Punishment Game

[Showdown] The result of trying a penalty-game lottery showdown…! [Odaken × 876]
Lottery × Punishment Game

It’s a slightly unusual penalty game where you write punishments on lottery slips and carry out whichever one you draw.

If there’s a penalty you want someone else to do, write it on a slip and mix it in.

Keep in mind you might draw it yourself.

You can have people act out shoujo-manga-style situations, make them do something odd like a solo kabe-don, and come up with penalty games you don’t usually see.

Highly recommended!

nose tickling twist (a thin paper twist used to stimulate the inside of the nose)

[Penalty Game] Tickle the nose with a paper twist | #11 Cotton Candy’s “Don’t Let Them Fool You!”
nose tickling twist (a thin paper twist used to stimulate the inside of the nose)

The tissue-made nose tickler, sticking it up your nose to make yourself sneeze—this punishment game is a familiar sight on variety shows.

Has anyone here actually tried it? Sneezing varies a lot from person to person, but once you let one out, it’s pretty embarrassing.

It’s like an automatic funny face you can’t control, so it makes for a pretty entertaining punishment.

When making the tickler, it’s easier if you peel one layer off the tissue to make it thinner!

air guitar

Dainoji’s Yosuke Daichi – Air Guitar @ MUSIC DAY 2010 Hoppin’ & Steppin’ SHOW CASE

This is “air guitar,” which became well-known when Daiji of the comedy duo Dainoji won a world championship.
