Embarrassing Punishments (11–20)
Put on pants without using hands
This is a penalty game that couples can enjoy, but it should be fun for anyone.
The game is: put on your pants without using your hands.
You might think that’s impossible, but if you choose the right pants, it’s actually doable.
And watching someone gradually pull their pants up is more entertaining than you’d imagine.
Even when it’s not a penalty game—say, when you’re feeling down—if the two of you try putting on pants without using your hands, it feels like the bluebird of happiness might just come your way.
Confessing love with a funny face
https://www.tiktok.com/@vryhjadm9e7/video/7428916622569590024Words that convey your feelings to someone tend to be paired with a serious expression, which in turn emphasizes the determination and emotion behind them.
This piece explores what happens when we deliberately remove that “serious expression” from such earnest expressions of feeling and see what kind of atmosphere emerges.
It’s important to really distort your facial expression—enough to call it a funny face—and deliberately highlight the gap between your expression and your words.
The key point to watch is whether your feelings will still get through to the other person when you speak earnestly while making a goofy face.
kabedon (slamming a hand against the wall to pin someone, often seen in romance contexts)
When it comes to classic romance-themed dares, “kabe-don” has to be the go-to, right? You corner the other person against a wall and place one or both hands on the wall so they can’t escape—that thing.
It makes your heart race when someone does it to you, and it’s common in shoujo manga, but actually doing it in real life is pretty embarrassing! Instead of laughing it off, try to channel your inner heartthrob and go for it.
If you want to make the dare even tougher, I recommend whispering something sweet and maintaining eye contact in that position for 10 seconds!
A kiss on the back of the hand
It’s a romance-themed dare that’s bold yet somehow creates a romantic atmosphere.
Even though it’s just a brief moment of physical contact, the heart-pounding tension that makes even onlookers blush fills the room.
If you add a rule to designate the partner, it won’t just generate more excitement than you’d expect—it also lets everyone enjoy the strategic back-and-forth of who chooses whom.
Of course, you don’t actually have to touch; lightly acting it out is enough to convey the mood, so even those who feel hesitant can relax and have fun.
It’s a perfect, slightly daring dare that naturally brings men and women closer together.
Pocky game
The “Pocky game” is a game where two people eat a single Pocky stick from opposite ends, and the person who stops eating first loses.
If both keep eating, they’ll eventually end up kissing, so one of them is bound to let go.
It’s often used as a punishment game, so I recommend it! You inevitably end up very close, which adds a thrill, and sometimes there’s even the surprise of both people continuing to eat.
Just be sure to take proper infection precautions and have fun!
Gently bumping foreheads and gazing into each other’s eyes
https://www.tiktok.com/@isaki.vamyun.love/video/7072335231671438594The situation where you gently bump foreheads and gaze into each other is a romantic scene you often see in dramas.
This activity recreates that rare situation so the person can really feel the embarrassment that comes from being so close.
Just bumping foreheads alone doesn’t clearly convey the closeness, so make sure to lock eyes and let them feel just how near you are—closer than they imagined.
If your embarrassment builds too much beforehand, you might get carried away and turn it into a real headbutt, so it’s best to stay as calm as possible until the moment you touch.
Big reveal of kissy face
It’s a punishment game where you have to reveal your rarely-seen “kissy face” to everyone! A lot of people probably feel uncomfortable when someone stares closely at their face, right? And if what they’re looking at is your kissy face, it’s even more embarrassing.
That’s exactly why it’s perfect as a punishment! The loser has to make a kissy face and hold it for a few seconds.
Let everyone take a good look and share their thoughts.
You’ll be so embarrassed your face will feel like it’s on fire.
Write a love letter
Writing a love letter as a penalty game isn’t just embarrassing—it’s also a prompt that lets you express your honest feelings.
If you set a rule to choose the recipient on the spot and write it right there, it becomes a moment that tests your impression of that person and your imagination.
Whether the content is serious or funny, it’s enjoyable and can be adapted to match the mood of the group—that’s part of the appeal.
When the letter is read aloud, it naturally draws attention, and the choice of words can elicit both laughter and bashfulness.
All you need is paper and a pen, which makes it easy to do, and it’s perfect for group activities or event ideas.
Whisper love in (someone’s) ear
Even couples don’t often whisper words of love right into each other’s ears, do they? It’s pretty embarrassing, even when you’re alone together.
So let’s turn that into a penalty game! The loser has to whisper words of love into the ear of the person chosen.
Everyone else should listen closely and eavesdrop on the love confession.
Rather than laughing, keeping a deliberate silence will probably make the loser feel even more embarrassed! Any words of love are fine.
If it’s something simple like “I like you” or “I love you,” it might be fun to have them repeat it over and over!
Recreate a heart-throbbing scene
Romance reality shows with a realistic feel are super popular.
Even within those shows, there are tons of swoon-worthy moments that make you blush just watching them! How about recreating those heart-throbbing scenes as a penalty game? If you’re the shy type when it comes to love, it’ll definitely be an embarrassing punishment! And if it’s a penalty game with someone you’re interested in, it might be embarrassing—but also pretty exciting.
We recommend scenes that allow for just the right amount of physical closeness, so give it a try!
