Fun and easy LINE-based penalties (1–10)
to interact using an embarrassing sentence ending
For a long-term penalty game, there’s one where you have to end your sentences with an embarrassing sentence ending.
You can choose the ending yourself, or have someone decide it for you in advance.
Try to come up with endings that you wouldn’t normally use in everyday life.
By the way, classic endings used in penalty games include things like “-nyan” or “-gozaru.” Pick something the person receiving the penalty would be reluctant to use.
You can also combine it with changing your first-person pronoun.
Change my account name to an embarrassing one
Changing your account name to something embarrassing is an easy and fun penalty game to try.
You can turn it into a nickname, make it a sentence—there are lots of ideas.
Making it cute with emojis or kaomoji is another option.
By the way, be careful: for contacts added via your phone’s address book, the name change may not be reflected.
That’s because the name saved in the address book takes priority.
In that case, please change the name manually.
Change a friend’s name to ‘wife’ or ‘husband’
Did you know you can change registered names on LINE? A fun way to use that feature for a punishment game is to change a friend’s display name to “Wife” or “Husband.” Seeing a friend who’s usually shown by their real name suddenly labeled as “Wife,” for example, is pretty surreal.
If you have notifications turned on, the name will pop up each time, giving you a strange feeling.
It’s also recommended to try other nicknames or pet names as a twist.
Try coming up with a bold, slightly embarrassing registered name that makes an impact!
Call everyone in the class
If you’re looking for a slightly more challenging dare, calling everyone in your class is a great option.
There are probably classmates you don’t usually keep in touch with, so it might feel a bit awkward.
Figuring out what to talk about with each person can also be tricky.
You could decide on a topic in advance, or just honestly say you’re calling as part of a dare—that works too.
This dare could be a nice opportunity to exchange LINE contacts with classmates, and it might help you grow closer.
Send a misfire message
Sending a “misfire” message sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
A misfire message is one that you accidentally send to the wrong recipient.
In this idea, you intentionally send a message to the wrong person, so it might be more accurate to call it a misfire-style message.
By the way, it’s best if the content clearly looks like a misfire.
For example, put a different person’s name at the beginning of the message, or make it seem like you’re sending something the recipient wouldn’t want to overhear.
Make it an embarrassing icon
What kind of image do you use for your LINE icon? Since it’s something people always see when you’re messaging, you want to use a nice image if possible.
That’s why I suggest a punishment game where you set an embarrassing image as your icon.
Everyone you chat with on LINE will see it, so it’ll be pretty embarrassing.
For example, try using a photo with quirky makeup or an image with a cringeworthy message as your icon.
Sending a barrage of stickers to someone you like
Punishment games related to romance can really liven things up, right? So here’s one I recommend: a dare where you rapid-fire send stickers to your crush.
Depending on how close you are, blasting them with stickers might feel like a high hurdle for many people.
Think about which stickers to send and how many times.
Who knows—maybe it could even lead to a date.
Just be careful not to overdo it, or it might come off as annoying.
