[Recommended for College Students!] Hilarious Punishment Game Ideas That Will Liven Things Up (1–10)
tickle with all my might
I don’t think we actually get tickled seriously very often.
So—how about a serious tickling penalty game? Instead of just tickling, restrain their hands and feet so they can’t move, and tickle them all the way until the time limit.
It’s guaranteed to be really funny, and even the person doing the tickling won’t be able to stop laughing! If it goes on too long it can drag, so about one minute might be just right.
butt bat (a prank/hazing act of hitting someone’s buttocks with a bat)
Ketsu-bat (butt bat) is a staple punishment game on TV shows and the like, isn’t it? It’s a simple game where you hit someone’s butt with a bat, but the visual impact and the sting make it really exciting.
Of course, using a metal bat could cause injury, so try using a softer plastic bat.
If you do it right, you can make a loud sound without it hurting too much, or so they say.
face clothespin
You can’t really laugh if a punishment game hurts too much, right? But here’s one that’s just painful enough to still be funny: clipping clothespins to someone’s face! Just imagining clothespins on the lips, nose, or earlobes sounds painful… It gets lively if you make a rule where the winner clips clothespins onto the loser’s face.
You could also add a rule like “keep the clothespins on for X seconds,” or go for the kind of punishment game you often see on variety shows by tying strings to each clothespin and pulling them all off at once—it’s sure to hype things up!
Speak by changing sentence endings
You might not usually think about it, but apparently everyone has a favorite sentence ending they tend to use.
Some people even use them consciously—like Noriko Sakai’s “-pi” or comedian Kuro-chan’s “-shin.” What if you were forced to change your sentence ending? It might make everyday conversation surprisingly awkward—and pretty funny! Let’s try a punishment game called “Ending Restriction.” For example, on campus you have to end your sentences with “-dapyonn,” or during club activities you use “-jaken.” Mix up the situations and give it a try.
And if someone slips up, add another penalty—like a flick on the forehead or getting tickled.
Make a funny face for 10 seconds
There aren’t many chances to show your absolute best funny face to other people, are there? So how about a punishment game where you have to pull your silliest face for 10 seconds.
With this kind of game, being shy actually makes it fall flat, so when it’s your turn, go all out.
You can even turn it into a funny-face photo session as a punishment, which is great because it allows for lots of different variations.
smell feet
Despite its plain premise, this is a punishment game that gets everyone hyped.
The loser must smell the feet of the participant who seems most likely to have smelly feet.
An overwhelming sense of humiliation will wash over the loser.
And watching it is hilarious—so funny it’ll have you in stitches.
foot reflexology massage
Have you ever tried a foot reflexology massage? I once had it done by someone who said they were still in training… and all I remember is the pain—screaming, thrashing, and ending up exhausted (lol).
Even just stepping on those health sandals or a reflexology board hurts, right? It hurts even when you press the points yourself.
Some people say it doesn’t hurt, though.
It’s a painfully awful punishment game, but on the flip side, it might actually make you healthier—depending on how you look at it, it’s a pretty good deal of a punishment (lol).
eat sour lemon gum
Food-related pranks, like takoyaki with just one piece containing wasabi, are also popular, aren’t they? If you’re looking for a mild food prank, I recommend using super sour lemon gum.
In fact, there are products sold at supermarkets and candy shops where one out of several pieces is extremely sour, so give those a try.
sexy pose
In college, you’ll probably have more chances to hang out in mixed groups.
If you’re looking for a fun punishment game for those times, a great option is having someone strike a sexy pose.
It’s entertaining not only when someone does a sexy pose themselves for the opposite sex, but also when friends of the same sex do it.
Since people don’t usually make sexy poses in everyday life, their bodies often don’t move the way they expect, and the awkward poses that result can be hilarious.
vinegared somen noodles
Some people are great with sour flavors, while others can’t handle them at all—so much so they can’t even eat things like “Karamucho” chips.
Which camp are you in? How about we spice things up with “vinegar somen” (su-somen)! All you need is vinegar and somen noodles.
Now, can you finish it without coughing? If you want to enjoy it as more than a punishment game, it could be fun as a side event at a school festival or university gathering—try a game called “Who’s really eating vinegar somen?” Since vinegar is said to be good for your health, you could also do it as a “drink vinegar from a small cup” challenge.
Just be sure not to drink too much.
