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

This is “air guitar,” which became well-known when Daiji of the comedy duo Dainoji won a world championship.
Let’s perform some air guitar in front of everyone! Play music from the smartphones of people there and try improvising to it!
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.
Show (someone) your driver’s license photo

Do people who look cute or cool in their driver’s license photos even exist? You really don’t want to show anyone those kinds of ID photos, right? If you don’t have a driver’s license, a student ID is fine, too.
If you’re confident, it might not even feel like a punishment.
Funny-face photo session

I’m going to show off a funny face in front of everyone.
Just doing that would be too ordinary and boring, so the others will take photos and videos and we’ll hold a “Funny Face Photo Session.” There will probably be some lingering embarrassment, but let’s shake it off and go all out with our wackiest faces!
Change to an embarrassing phone case

These days almost everyone has a smartphone, and many people probably use a case.
Most people choose one they like, but I recommend a punishment game where you switch it to something embarrassing.
It would be mean to make it last too long, so set a fixed period for it.
Get your heart racing for real with Balloon Break!

A top-tier thrilling penalty game using a balloon.
You bring an inflated balloon close to someone’s face while another person pokes it with a wooden stick.
Right after the countdown—“3, 2, 1”—the balloon bursts cleanly.
Both the participant and the audience can’t help but feel nervous and on edge.
The big reaction from the person after it pops is sure to hype up the crowd.
Viewers, please keep a safe distance.
