Hype-boosting punishment games recommended for men (1–10)
Impersonation
Impressions (impersonations) that are familiar from performances and party entertainment.
Do you have a go-to routine? Some people might be good at impersonations and have a wide repertoire, but there probably aren’t many like that.
Most people feel embarrassed and think, “No way I’m doing that in front of others.” Because impersonations take courage, turning them into a penalty game would probably get everyone excited.
Famous people that everyone knows are great, and inside jokes—impersonating friends, teachers, or your boss at work—go over really well too!
one-shot gag
When it comes to classic penalties, a one-shot gag is the go-to.
What kind of gag someone does reveals their personality and makes it even more entertaining.
Whether it’s a celebrity impression or a prop-less bit, it really tests their sense of humor.
Doing a one-shot gag in front of everyone is subtly embarrassing, which makes it perfect for a punishment game.
It’s also a great choice when you don’t have any props on hand.
Expose browsing history and search history
This could be a bit nerve-racking and turn into an embarrassing dare, maybe? It’s a game where everyone checks each other’s smartphone search history.
It’s very simple, but since practically everyone has a smartphone now, a lot of people instinctively search for anything that piques their curiosity—almost like breathing—so searching has become a habit.
You’ll probably find things that would make sense to others, but also tons of stuff that only the person themselves would understand, like “Why did you even look that up?” And having to explain those is embarrassing too, right? (lol)
Exciting punishment games recommended for men (11–20)
Apply something that doesn’t sting/tingle
This is an activity where participants try to figure out which items among the miscellaneous goods in front of them will deliver an electric shock when pressed.
Since they don’t know which item will zap them, there’s also a scared reaction before pressing.
You can enjoy the strategy of taking turns choosing items, with the condition that the game ends when someone picks a non-zapping item.
It seems like it would be exciting not only when there are genuinely non-zapping items mixed in, but also in the twist where everyone believed the game would end, only to discover that every single item zaps.
Eat tire-shaped gummy candy
It’s a jet-black gummy that looks like a tire—so unappetizing you can hardly believe it’s food.
Since everything about it—its appearance, even its smell—screams that it tastes bad, try using this gummy as a punishment game.
If you have someone eat it with their eyes closed and their nose pinched, they’ll have no choice but to suffer purely from the taste, which really completes the experience.
Contrary to what you might hope, it doesn’t taste good despite its looks and smell; it has a flavor like old rubber that your body instinctively rejects, so you can count on getting some truly pained reactions.
Expressing gratitude to my parents over the phone
It can be embarrassing to express your gratitude again, and it’s not easy to say, is it? But unlike risky dares like confessing to someone of the opposite sex, this one leaves everyone—the person themselves, their parents, and the onlookers—feeling warm and happy afterward.
If the parents don’t pick up the phone, it seems fine to call a sibling, a best friend, or a spouse instead.
Purikura by myself
Compared to women, I think men have fewer opportunities to take purikura photos.
In that context, taking purikura alone feels really embarrassing, doesn’t it? But solo purikura is a great penalty game—no one gets hurt and everyone has a laugh—so I highly recommend it.
Since you’re taking purikura anyway, it’s best to go all out: be bold and have fun, and put effort into the doodles.
Throw away your shame and go wild!
