Punishment games that hype up drinking parties and banquets (51–60)
Show (off) a childhood habit
Childhood habits are often things we’re not aware of ourselves and only learn about when our parents tell us.
Many of these habits can be embarrassing if others find out.
Let’s go ahead and showcase those habits as a party forfeit.
Just be careful—if the habit is a bit too extreme, it might not be something people can laugh about.
to put on makeup
Makeup is a delicate process, and many people approach their daily routine with meticulous attention to detail.
In this activity, we’ll apply makeup to the person receiving a penalty and enjoy watching their face gradually change.
Rather than professional-quality makeup, think of applying it thickly and roughly—ending up messy might actually make it more entertaining.
This is also a great opportunity to try a bold, flashy look that would be hard to pull off in your everyday makeup.
Have a screen protector slapped on haphazardly
Everyone carefully applies a protective film to their smartphone, trying their best to avoid bubbles.
This prank is a simple yet quietly shocking punishment: you peel off that film once and have someone nearby stick it back on haphazardly—nothing flashy, just painfully effective.
Say a difficult tongue twister
Many of you might be thinking, “What do you mean tongue twisters as a punishment game?” But it’s super embarrassing to tackle impossibly hard tongue twisters and keep tripping over them.
For example, you might end up saying “shujuchuchuu” like baby talk instead of “during surgery.” Now imagine a string of words like that, and you mess up every single one… Of course, everyone watching will burst out laughing, and the person doing it will be mortified—so it’s guaranteed to be a punishment game everyone can enjoy.

Reading aloud an embarrassing XX
Everyone has probably written various kinds of texts over the course of their life—elementary school essays, old diary entries, and so on.
This activity is about digging up those old writings that everyone likely has tucked away and having them read aloud with heart.
You’ll get to truly feel the embarrassment, including the clumsy parts, as you see what your past self was thinking and how you used to write.
Since you can’t predict the content, it’s best to choose pieces from as far back in time as possible.
What is the minimum score on the test?
Do you remember the lowest score you ever got on a test? If this feels like a punishment game to you, a specific answer sheet you’d rather forget probably came to mind.
It’s an even better conversation starter if you share the subject and the story behind why you ended up with that score.
Admitting your lowest score can be a little embarrassing, but by telling an awkward story, you might spark lots of questions and end up feeling much closer to friends or a partner!
How does your family address you? What do they call you?
For some people, this question basically turns into a punishment game! If you’re usually called by your name without any honorifics, it’s no big deal.
But if you’ve always been addressed with “-chan” or “-kun” since you were little, or you go by a quirky nickname, it might be a pretty embarrassing dare.
It’s probably especially unpleasant for men, maybe? Depending on the person, this dare can get everyone really hyped, but keep the fun and any talk about names limited to that moment.
Imitating or teasing someone about it after the game is over is a no-go.
