push-up
For people in sports clubs or with an athletic background, push-ups are easy, but for others they can be surprisingly tough.
How about using push-ups as a penalty game? If someone hasn’t exercised since starting university, it’ll probably be much harder than they expect.
It’s a simple form of exercise, so it’s also great for tackling a lack of physical activity.
perform a one-shot gag
Watching comedians get laughs with a single gag can make you feel like you could do it too, but in reality, one-shot gags are quite difficult.
Let’s try a punishment game where you have to perform one.
There’s a high chance it’ll bomb badly, so it could be a pretty embarrassing punishment.
But if you do get laughs, that’ll hype things up, so that’s great too.
Penalty Game Scratch
I tried using the much-talked-about punishment-game scratch cards that you can now buy online.
It seems there are various genres like a “Hard” edition and a “Love” edition, so it could be fun to switch them depending on the group.
The scratch-off tasks include things like pulling a funny face once, singing passionately a cappella, and doing air guitar for 20 seconds—mostly things that seem easy to do without much resistance and are likely to hype everyone up.
eat extremely spicy food
Spicy foods are easy to prepare and can make for a very powerful penalty game.
However, some people are totally fine with spicy things, so it might be necessary to check in advance.
Conversely, there are people who are very bad with spicy foods, so keep it fun without forcing anyone too much.
A balance of about half suffering and half laughter is ideal for a penalty game.
Change your social media profile picture to a funny face photo
How about a dare where you take a funny-face photo and use it temporarily as your social media icon on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and so on? Since many college students use social media, I think it would be quite a cruel punishment, even though it doesn’t involve physical pain.
The higher the quality of the funny face, the more exciting it gets.
Play the sound of scraping a blackboard.
How about a punishment game where you make them listen to unpleasant sounds? There are many kinds of unpleasant sounds, but I think almost everyone would mention the sound of nails scratching a chalkboard.
These days, there are videos on YouTube and elsewhere that play such annoying sounds, so try using one of those and make the person doing the punishment game listen to it.
Since it can really get to you if it’s too long, be sure to set a time limit.
to smell something stinky
I think smelling something stinky can also liven things up.
There are broadly two types of smelly items often used for penalty games.
One is food.
Penalty games using durian or kusaya are a staple on TV shows, right? The other is items made specifically for penalty games.
There are sprays with very strong odors available for purchase, so if you’re curious, check online shops.
Some of them can leave a smell on clothing that’s hard to remove, so be careful.
Make sure to research well before using them.
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.
Speak in gyaru slang
A punishment game where you have to ditch your usual way of speaking and talk in gyaru slang.
The key is that the gap between embarrassment and hyped-up energy makes everyone crack up.
By throwing out words that some generations won’t even understand—like “Should I say something totally KY?” or “That’s seriously lit-lilt!”—viewers will be dying to jump in with reactions.
The more serious the person, the more embarrassed they get, and watching them struggle to talk like a gyaru while blushing instantly lifts the whole mood.
Setting a time limit and making it a back-and-forth conversation amps things up even more and makes playful exchanges with others happen naturally.
It’s a high-impact punishment game where the swings in energy create the laughs.
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.
