Recommended for College Students! Funny and Hype Punishment Game Ideas (11–20)
Eat bugs
Do you know beondegi? It’s a common ingredient sold in Korea, and it’s actually silkworm pupae.
You can easily enjoy it as a snack at street stalls—steamed and seasoned or deep-fried.
Shops that carry Korean ingredients also sell canned beondegi, so it’s pretty easy to carry around.
That said, for people who hate insects, it can feel like a pretty harsh punishment game.
Don’t force it on someone who really dislikes it—come up with a different forfeit instead.
You can even find edible tarantulas online—so scary!
Tweet something embarrassing
These days, there aren’t many college students who don’t use social media, right? So how about a dare that involves tweeting something embarrassing? People who see it on social media won’t know it’s a punishment tweet, which makes it pretty embarrassing.
Of course, tweets that cause too much trouble for others are a no-go, so make sure to set clear boundaries.
drink an incredibly nasty-tasting beverage
Drink-related forfeits are a staple on TV variety shows and YouTube, aren’t they? How about trying those kinds of drink forfeits yourselves? These days, variety goods shops sell drinks you can use for forfeits, so make use of those.
They may look easy when you’re just watching, but once you actually drink them, you’ll see they’re pretty tough.
Shin hair removal with duct tape
This is a simple penalty game using duct tape that you can find in any home.
Stick a strip of duct tape on someone’s shin and rip it off in one go.
It’s easy, gets people excited, and despite the pain, it’s a relatively safe penalty game that’s unlikely to cause accidents or injuries.
It’s especially lively when the target has a lot of leg hair, but the downside is it doesn’t get as exciting if the loser doesn’t have much shin hair.
Checking smartphone search history
Haven’t you seen this on TV variety shows? They do surprise checks of people’s smartphone search histories.
I think that’s kind of—well, very—embarrassing and a pretty unpleasant punishment.
I don’t think many people regularly delete their search history… It’s one thing if it’s just a quick lookup or something you were curious about, but if someone sees searches about your worries, that’s pretty rough.
And if something outrageous turns up in your history, I feel like they’ll keep teasing you about it as a running joke forever.
Show (someone) your driver’s license photo
For some reason, driver’s license photos rarely turn out well.
And since many college students get their licenses around age 18, by the time they’re juniors, some people look completely different from their current selves.
How about a penalty game where everyone has to show their license photo? It’s pretty embarrassing, but it can also be a great way to spark conversations about memories.
Show a kissing face
Many people may be looking for a forfeit that will liven things up when hanging out in mixed-gender groups.
For you, we recommend a punishment where you have to show your “kiss face.” Since you normally only show a kiss face to someone special, having various people see it can be pretty embarrassing.
It also gives you a chance to see someone of the opposite sex make a kiss face, so it’s perfect for college students.
Solo duet
This is a punishment game where you dress as a woman and perform a duet by yourself.
It’s a pretty embarrassing penalty, but I recommend not acting oddly shy—fully commit to both the male and female roles and see it through.
Sing with the kind of spirit and courage that will entertain everyone else.
The door to your comedy career is opening right now!
Show old photos
Many people have changed their persona when they started university—a so-called “university debut”—or have friends who did.
As a fun penalty game in those moments, how about showing old photos? The bigger the gap between the past and the present, the more exciting the penalty game gets, so if you’re the one taking the penalty, try to pick photos that highlight the biggest contrast.
Pop a balloon with your butt
It’s a punishment game where you put an inflated balloon on a chair and plop down on it to pop it.
It sounds easy, but depending on your positioning and balance, it sometimes just won’t pop at all! So you need to go in harder than you think and really sit down on that balloon with full force.
Full force! That said, the popping sound can be startling, and you might worry it’ll hurt when it bursts, so you get a bit nervous—making it surprisingly hard to go all out.
It’s a pretty tough punishment game when you think about it (lol).
