Punishment games that hype up the party (21–30)
Express my gratitude to my parents in front of everyone
Wouldn’t this make a lovely penalty game? Do you usually express your gratitude to your dad or mom? It’s pretty embarrassing and hard to say, right? The idea is to call them and say it in front of everyone.
It’s embarrassing, but sometimes it’s important to be bold and tell them how you feel!
Penalty game lottery
Write punishments on slips of paper, put them in a box, and have the person receiving the punishment draw one and do what it says.
You can write a punishment you’d hate to have done to you, or a lighter one just in case you end up drawing it yourself.
Punishment Games to Hype Up a Party (31–40)
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.
princess carry
Princess carry—this takes a bit of strength, doesn’t it? A woman princess-carrying a man might be a little difficult.
But two men with a size difference, like a slender guy princess-carrying a stocky guy—that would get everyone hyped!
Dice punishment game
Write the punishments on a homemade paper die and have the person doing the punishment roll it.
You can use just one die, or make two—one for the punishment and one for the number of seconds—and roll them at the same time to make it even more fun.
tell an unfailingly funny story
Just being told it has to be a “can’t-miss” story puts pressure on you—this is a game where the urge to make people laugh mixes with nerves and all eyes are on you.
The content can be anything, from embarrassing episodes from your past to memories with family and friends, but there’s a constant fear that if you don’t deliver a proper punchline, you’ll bomb.
Sometimes the anxious delivery or unexpected turn of the story makes the crowd stir—and that, too, is part of the fun of this punishment game.
If it truly lands, you’ll get applause and laughter, but even when it bombs, laughter still happens—that paradox is what makes this dare a test of courage and humor.
wear a weird mask
https://www.tiktok.com/@rina.mmm/video/6917513357947981058Here’s a fun punishment game using masks you can easily get at convenience stores or drugstores.
The rule is to wear a mask with a mouth drawn on it.
The mouth can be a human mouth with teeth, or you could draw an animal’s snout for a playful twist.
Part of the fun is that you can’t see how you look while wearing it.
Because you don’t know, you won’t feel too embarrassed—but people around you will see a funny sight.
Surprisingly, this punishment game can even make the person wearing the mask look cute, which is part of its charm.
