[Also for Punishments] A Set of Fun Questions for Couples (11–20)
Have you ever cheated?
You’d want them to be honest about this, right? I think most people would say they can’t forgive cheating, but it’s all in the past—just because someone cheated before doesn’t mean they’ll do it again.
So try to take it in stride, and draw out everything they have to say, excuses and all!
What words that have been said to me so far made me happy?
Are there any words that you haven’t told the person who said them, but that you keep in your heart like a good-luck charm? Words you’ve kept secret because you were too shy to tell them how much they meant to you.
Even if you never planned to say them, why not try now? The person who said them will be happy to hear it.
Honestly, is there a date or episode you felt was a failure?
I hadn’t said this before, but let me confess—I think that date was a flop, the vibe was kind of awkward…
It’s possible your partner felt the same way at the time, too.
It can be useful for future dates, so go ahead and be straightforward with your answer!
What do you like most about your mom’s cooking?
People might say, “He’s a mama’s boy!” but I think anyone who loved their mother’s cooking is a lucky person.
You often try making it yourself the same way, yet somehow it never tastes quite the same.
For the two of you going forward, it’s something worth knowing!
How many times have you been rejected so far?
The number of breakups I wish I could erase from my past.
Some people have sealed those memories away along with some intense episodes.
As a penalty game, have your current partner listen to everything, lay it all bare, and use this chance to cleanse those dark chapters of your history!
How do you call your partner? And how do they call you?
Let’s have them reveal the special names they only use for each other as a forfeit! The classic is dropping honorifics and calling each other by first name, but sometimes they actually use “-chan” or “-kun,” or even nicknames no one else knows.
For many people, that’s something they’d never want others to find out, which makes it perfect for a penalty game! If there’s a couple there, you could have them call each other by those names, too.
It might be embarrassing for them, but for everyone else it’s a forfeit that shares a bit of their happiness!
How many times have you confessed your feelings, and how many times have others confessed to you so far?
This is a perfect punishment-game idea for when you want to spice up a conversation about romance.
By stepping into personal topics people don’t usually share, the room instantly shifts into attention mode.
The surprise and laughs often come from answers being unexpectedly high—or even zero.
By answering honestly, you can glimpse someone’s popularity and dating tendencies, which opens up even more discussion.
For example, if someone says, “I actually confessed three times and got rejected each time,” the mood can suddenly turn warm and cozy.
Just make sure to ask lightly with a joking tone so the person answering doesn’t feel too pressured.
Romance topics can really energize a group, but remember to read the room and have fun.
List five good things about the questioner!
Have the game winner list five good things about the person receiving the penalty.
We don’t often get the chance to tell our friends or partners what we like about them directly.
Even if we think it, it can be pretty embarrassing to say it face-to-face.
But that’s exactly why it works as a penalty! Use this penalty to encourage honest expressions of feelings.
It may be embarrassing for the speaker, but it will make the receiver happy and give both of you a great opportunity to grow closer.
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!
What about the proposal words and situation?
This is the kind of dare you’d want to use on newlyweds or friends who just got engaged.
A proposal is a huge event for a man.
He’s probably put a lot of thought into it and pulled off some cool lines or actions he wouldn’t normally show! Everyone around would love to hear about it, but for the person himself, it couldn’t be more embarrassing.
That said, depending on the couple, it might have been a reverse proposal from the woman! And if everyone in the group is single, having them talk about their “ideal scenario” is a great option too!
