Embarrassing Punishments (21–30)
Living like a cutesy/affected girly girl
Just as personalities differ from person to person, everyone has their own individuality in how they behave in everyday life.
This punishment game has you turn all of those casual behaviors into cutesy, affected “burikko” style and live that way, so you can experience a feeling different from your usual.
It’s fine to let each person decide for themselves what “burikko” means and act accordingly, but if you specify the actions, you can make them do things they wouldn’t expect, which makes the unfamiliar feeling more uncomfortable.
The challenge is to have them practice “burikko” across a wider range of behaviors, but you should be careful not to inconvenience the people around you.
Transform into a hardcore sadist or hardcore masochist
Among romance-themed penalty games, the character-switch challenge of “turn into a hardcore Sadist or Masochist” gets people especially fired up.
By deliberately becoming the exact opposite personality, the contrast with your usual self triggers nonstop laughter and blushes.
If you’re playing the Sadist, give cold, commanding orders; if you’re the Masochist, make sweet, pleading requests.
Decide on some lines and give it a try—both performers and spectators will be thrilled.
Doing it wholeheartedly, even while embarrassed, can boost your likability.
Add small props or simple staging to elevate the mood even more.
It’s embarrassing but addictive—a perfect penalty game for romance-style talk.
Showing up in tacky clothes
People have different senses of style, and even the same outfit can look good on some and not on others.
Focusing on those impressions, this is a punishment game where the person has to wear clothes that everyone would think are uncool.
Combine items that don’t suit the person and pieces with bad taste to create the ultimate tacky outfit.
You can enjoy simply looking at the finished look, but it might be even more fun to imagine the kinds of things a person dressed like that would do—the uncool behaviors that fit the outfit.
Be careful, though: there’s a chance of unintended damage if someone realizes parts of their usual wardrobe are included, so proceed with caution.
Speak while role-playing as the other person’s favorite character.
A popular romance-themed dare that always gets people excited is the “transformation” challenge where you talk as your partner’s favorite character.
By fully becoming a character from an anime, game, or movie and mimicking their lines and way of speaking, you create a moment that blends laughter with a flutter of excitement.
Add a few simple props or an impromptu cosplay, and the vibe gets even better! Lines that would usually be too embarrassing to say somehow come out boldly when you’re in character.
Since you’ll need to research what your partner likes, it naturally brings you closer—another key perk.
It’s a transformation-style dare that guarantees high energy, with constant smiles and a racing heartbeat.

Actually, I’m not good at ○○ and it scares me.

Among all the juicy confession talks that get everyone hyped, the one that really surprises people and gets the conversation flowing is “Actually, I’m bad at/scared of ____.” Someone who usually seems unfazed might secretly be terrified of haunted houses or really hate injections—sharing these small “weaknesses” instantly brings you closer.
Reactions like “Wait, that bothers you?” or “That’s unexpectedly cute” start flying, and the exchange turns into laughter.
It’s a curious topic that not only helps you learn more about each other, but also sparks a protective feeling and a sense of closeness.
Perfect for a cozy nighttime chat or a conversation during a drive.
It’ll probably become a talk you won’t forget.
Past romantic failures
This is a “punishment game” where, by getting to know your beloved partner better, you can reaffirm how important you are to each other.
Listen to the kinds of past relationship mishaps everyone has experienced, and use them to bring the two of you closer.
From funny stories that make you laugh now to heavy love tales, accept them all with a big heart.
Also, knowing about past mistakes can be a chance to strengthen your relationship as a couple.
Why not look back on your partner’s past—the person you want to be with forever?
Gestures that make the other person’s heart skip a beat
A great idea for a cozy couple’s moment is a talk time where you share the gestures that make your partner’s heart skip a beat.
Those fleeting little moves—like pushing back their hair, glancing away while laughing, or speaking with a serious expression—can unexpectedly strike you right in the heart.
If you both confess, “Actually, that made me nervous in a good way,” the mix of shyness and excitement instantly doubles.
You’ll discover new things—“You noticed that about me?”—and the conversation naturally blossoms.
It’s a magical topic that lets you rediscover your partner’s charm and fall even more in love.
Try it on a night when you want to deepen the mood.
Number of times I’ve been confessed to
A classic confessional game couples can enjoy with a little flutter of excitement: the “How many confessions have you gotten?” talk.
Because it touches on each other’s past, this topic not only gets lively but also reveals unexpected sides, mixes in a bit of jealousy and embarrassment, and acts as a spice that brings you closer.
You can start light by asking by time period, like “How about in middle school?” or “After you started working?” It’s easy for the conversation to branch out—being surprised with “You were that popular?” or teasing with “Only once… who was it?” works well.
You can answer seriously or turn it into a joke.
It’s a romance talk topic we recommend trying during downtime on a date or while relaxing at home.
How many people have you dated?

In conversations between lovers, there’s that question you suddenly feel like asking: “How many people have you dated?” It takes a bit of courage, but it’s the perfect topic to flip the switch to romance talk.
You might toss it out jokingly, only to catch glimpses of unexpected past experiences or values.
You may be surprised by their answer, find their shy reaction adorable, or risk awkwardness—so the trick is to keep it light, like reminiscing about the past, without taking it too seriously.
As the conversation flows, it can lead into deeper topics like “What kind of romance was it?” or “How have you changed since then?” With just a few words, a simple chat can turn into a slightly special moment.
It’s a question with that kind of power.
Show your smartphone’s search history
These days, it’s so convenient because you can look up anything on your smartphone.
That said, isn’t it a bit embarrassing to show someone your search history? It’s like they might peek into your mind—seeing you mostly look up food, for example.
So let’s turn that into a penalty game.
It may be embarrassing, but on the flip side, it could be fun to catch a glimpse of someone’s unexpected side.
In any case, the act of suddenly showing your phone is quite a penalty in itself, so if they strongly refuse, drop it.
