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 (21–30)

Penalty Game Scratch

The penalty-game scratch was so hard it was hell…

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!

Make a joke out of it

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)

[B×Patch] #8: Theme “Cross-dressing Showdown” (Punishment Game)
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

Championship: Whose voice changes the most with helium gas? It's me!

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

Hikakin vs Seikin! Speed cola-drinking showdown with ultra-thin straws!
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!
