Interesting performance (1–10)
chugging carbonated drink
Haven’t you often seen chugging carbonated drinks on TV for punishments or challenge games at one point? Carbonated drinks are tasty in moderation, but as you know, chugging them is uncomfortable and pretty unreasonable.
I used to see Q-Taro from Hiking Walking do cola chugging as part of his routine, but just watching that makes you feel a little uncomfortable, doesn’t it? (lol) Apparently, even among carbonated drinks, some are easier or harder to chug, so why not pick one that seems easier to drink and give it a try?
Change the sentence endings to make it conversational.
Why does just changing the sentence ending make a conversation more fun? In this penalty game, only the loser has to change the way they end their sentences.
You can decide the new ending by drawing lots, or plan it in advance.
The duration can be just for that day, but keeping it up for several days is pretty amusing too.
Isn’t it funny just to imagine meeting again a week later and finding they’re still talking with that sentence ending? It’s an idea that could work not only as a penalty game but also as a regular fun activity.
to speak in baby talk
A popular penalty game? Speaking in baby talk.
You change your sentence endings to things like “deshu,” “mashu,” or “babuu”—even though babies don’t actually say those, of course—and enjoy a conversation full of playful baby talk (lol).
Some people might joke around and use baby talk normally, but being forced to speak absolutely everything in baby talk is pretty embarrassing, and you have to think more than you’d expect while speaking.
Set a time limit and enjoy watching your boyfriend or girlfriend shyly talk in baby speak (lol).
Dance when the music starts
If you’re looking for a big, all-day kind of punishment game—more like “do X for the whole day”—how about “dance whenever music plays”? Whether you’re having a serious conversation, eating, or even in the bathroom…? The rule is that whenever music starts playing, you have to dance regardless of the situation.
Try it with a song that’s currently trending between the two of you.
That said, this punishment game is also a hassle for the person giving the orders, since they have to keep holding their phone and keep playing music (lol).
funny face
You don’t get to see people’s funny faces very often, do you? Maybe that’s why even more people want to see them.
It’s entertaining to have someone pull a funny face, but using tape or other props to shape the other person’s face however you like is also really fun.
When you’re the one being made into a funny face however the other person wants, a sense of frustration wells up from deep inside, like you’ve lost.
And then you feel a strong urge to win next time.
That, too, is part of the fun.
Interesting Performances (11–20)
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.
Showcase the pose you think makes you look the cutest
Do you have a signature pose that makes you look cutest? Some people even study all kinds of flattering poses for photo booths and the like.
This penalty game is to strike the pose that makes you look the cutest.
For a boyfriend, it’s the pose that makes his girlfriend look the cutest—of course he’d want to see that.
And if she says, “I don’t have any pose like that,” that might be cute in its own way.
If the boyfriend has to do it, it turns into a pretty embarrassing penalty game (lol).
