Blindfolded Either/Or Challenge
https://www.tiktok.com/@rnrnsnr/video/7472686637663735048This is an activity where you ask two people, with their eyes closed, a series of either-or questions and watch how each of them answers.
You get to see what they think of each other, and if their answers match, you can really feel the bond between them.
Choosing the right questions is key—try throwing in some daring ones that you don’t usually get a chance to ask.
You could keep the answers to yourself as a secret for the audience, or reveal a few of them and watch the pair’s reactions, which could be really entertaining.
to do a partner dance
It’s a penalty game that creates a thrilling atmosphere by bringing you physically close to someone you’re interested in.
If you pick an upbeat song, people will start clapping along and the excitement will build.
You could also try a full-fledged dance with a romance or marriage theme.
The awkward moves of beginners are part of the charm, and even mistakes turn into laughs, so there’s no pressure.
Deciding on formations or specifying poses will make the stage even more fun.
If you incorporate it as a penalty in an event or game, the energy in the venue will spike, and it can become a chance to deepen bonds and relationships.
Wear clothes chosen by intuition
Clothing is something we wear with considerations like functionality and appearance in mind, and even on casual days, everyone has some level of awareness about it.
This concept removes that intentional choice in outfit selection and has participants pick clothes relying solely on intuition, then wear what they chose.
The method is to present two clothing options behind a seated person and have them point, by instinct, to the one they’ll wear.
There’s a chance of mismatched combinations or even running out of clothes, so let’s incorporate those risks effectively.
Selfie in a specified pose
This could be especially great for couples who don’t usually take selfies.
Pick your favorite poses and snap away! It might not feel like a punishment game, but the key is that you get to choose the poses.
Ask them to try things they’d never do with their partner normally! They might be so embarrassed their cheeks on screen turn red.
Go all in—take lots of photos and put them together in an album that only the two of you can see!
eat spicy or smelly foods
This penalty game involves having participants eat or drink things they normally wouldn’t want to put in their mouths—like something extremely spicy, smelly, sour, or bitter.
By the way, we instinctively perceive sourness as a sign of spoilage and bitterness as a sign of poison, so they don’t taste good.
You can keep a running list of items that seem unappetizing or search online for ideas.
Personally, I recommend things like “Genghis Khan Caramel.” Just make sure to choose items that won’t harm anyone’s health.
doodles on the face
Drawing on someone’s face—now that’s a pretty high-bar punishment game, isn’t it? And to make it worse, taking a photo and keeping it… It’s the kind of punishment that’ll probably be used as a running joke for a while (lol).
There are pens made for drawing on faces, but it feels wasteful to buy them just for this, so why not try using makeup products instead? You can remove everything cleanly with makeup remover afterward.
You can also enjoy the reaction when you finish the doodles and see your own face.
Taking a photo and using it as your profile picture on social media could be fun too!
face tape
A punishment game where funny faces escalate: “Face Tape.” Each time you play a mini-game or quiz, the loser sticks one piece of tape on their face.
As more and more tape piles up, your face gets distorted and you look like a completely different person! It’s the perfect punishment game because it’s something you’d never want your partner to see.
You’ll get a glimpse of a side of your girlfriend or boyfriend you don’t usually see, and you won’t be able to stop laughing! Sharing those embarrassing moments brings you closer as a couple, no doubt about it.
