We’ve gathered ideas for punishments that are guaranteed to be even more fun than the games themselves, so use them as inspiration and have fun together!

[Easier] Fun Punishments That Hype Up Middle Schoolers (21–30)

Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans

[Viewer Discretion Advised] Absolutely Disgusting! The guy who tries every single Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Bean and legit almost throws up

This is a recreation of a famous candy that appears in the Harry Potter films, known only to those in the know.

At first glance it looks delicious, but there’s no doubt you’ll be writhing from its outlandishly unexpected flavors.

It’s a punishment game you’ll hate but that always livens things up, letting you experience tastes you’d probably never encounter in your life.

Back molar exposure punishment game

[Thank you for the requested punishment game!!] If you lose the quiz, you have to show your molars as a punishment lol

It’s embarrassing to have parts of yourself seen that people don’t normally look at, right? If you’re searching for that kind of dare, I recommend the “Back Molar Reveal Punishment Game.” Since people almost never see your back molars in everyday life, having them looked at makes you feel kind of embarrassed.

When you do this punishment game, you might as well have them check for cavities too.

Wasabi cream puff

So much wasabi! This Russian roulette cream puff made me lose the motivation to film.

It’s a punishment game where you put wasabi into cream puffs that are supposed to be delicious and then eat them.

What’s more, instead of filling all of them, you only put wasabi in a few so there are “duds,” which makes it even scarier.

As a relief measure, you could add a rule like canceling the punishment if someone picks a tasty cream puff—that might make it more exciting.

spinning around and around

If you’re looking for an easy penalty game, how about this spinning one? When it comes to spinning-type games, there’s the classic dizzy bat, but even just standing in place and spinning can surprisingly throw off your balance and make it hard to stand straight.

It’s an easy-to-customize penalty game: you can change the number of spins, or require a one-legged stance or a specific pose afterward.

Just make sure you have enough space so you don’t get hurt in a tight area—play with plenty of room!

acrostic using the Japanese syllabary (aiueo poem)

[Masterpiece] I tried an acrostic poem and my answers were hilariously off-the-wall lol

The “aiueo acrostic” you often see in comedy segments on TV shows—let’s try doing that as a punishment game! The prompt can be anything that catches your eye around you, or even someone’s name.

As a word game, there aren’t any strict rules, but the sentences need to connect reasonably well or it won’t work, and if you don’t land a punchline at the end, it won’t feel satisfying.

Sometimes you get so caught up in keeping the flow that you end up with no punchline at all.

People with strong language skills or quick thinking might be especially good at it.

List five good things about the questioner!

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.

Mix and drink the beverage.

I tried mixing and drinking all the cider from across Japan.
Mix and drink the beverage.

When you look at convenience stores or vending machines, you see all kinds of drinks—tea, juice, soda, and more.

This punishment game is to mix those drinks together and drink the result! Even if each drink tastes good on its own, what happens when you mix them without thinking about how they go together? Just imagining it gives you the chills, right? But that’s exactly why it’s perfect for a punishment game! Since drinking a whole cup could make someone feel sick, make it okay to just take one sip, then ask for their impressions and have everyone sample it to liven things up!
