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!

Catching a live blade with bare hands

Catching a live blade with bare hands

It’s a game with a punishment-game element added: seeing whether you can successfully catch a stick being swung down toward you.

Because you don’t know when it’ll come, each person’s reflexes are tested, and if you fail, the simple result is getting tapped on the head.

To make it work as a punishment game, you need tricks that make the stick harder to catch; let’s think about ways to break their concentration.

For example, you can ask casual questions to make them think and then swing through while they’re distracted, or use feints to lure them into letting their guard down—both are recommended approaches.

Introduce yourself using baby talk.

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.

Double Dutch on an acupressure mat

[Foot Reflexology Jump Rope] Seraph Dazzlegarden’s Challenge [VOLTACTION Official Clip]
Double Dutch on an acupressure mat

The more physical issues you have, the more painful foot reflexology tends to feel, and it can be a good opportunity to think about your condition.

In this challenge, you’ll try doing double under jumps while standing on a reflexology mat, so the impact makes the pain more noticeable.

First, it’s recommended to simply stand on the mat and check which areas hurt.

Then, keeping those spots in mind, attempt the double unders.

Because the mat has a uniquely bumpy surface, losing your balance could lead to injury, so proceed carefully and pay attention to the pain.

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

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!
