Punishment games that hype up the party (21–30)
Balloon explosion
When it comes to party penalty games to hype things up, the balloon explosion game is a top recommendation! You inflate a balloon, set a timer, and try to predict when it will pop—it’s a real thrill.
It’s easy to set up and reasonably priced at around 2,000 yen.
Since it comes with multiple balloons, you can enjoy it over and over.
There are plenty of variations available, so choose one that matches your party vibe.
Just be sure to prioritize safety: read the instructions carefully and enjoy your time safely.
Get everyone’s hearts pounding and excitement soaring, and take your party to the next level!
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.

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.
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.
ridiculously stinky air cannon
The air cannon became widely known thanks to science producer Denjiro Yonemura.
It’s a device where you put air into a box with a round hole and tap both sides of the hole to force the air out.
This penalty game involves replacing the air packed inside the box with something extremely smelly.
Any odor will do, as long as it stinks! To avoid the smell reaching people who aren’t taking the penalty, gather only the participants in one spot and fire the air cannon toward them.
Dark history presentation
I’m going to reveal my cringeworthy past.
I’ll share embarrassing sides of my younger self that I’d rather keep hidden—like being a fan of such-and-such when I was a kid or the kinds of drawings I used to make.
I might even show old photos that are nothing like how I am now.
Stinky Rubber Band Snap
When it comes to party dares, we recommend the double punch of pain and smell: the “super-stinky rubber snap.” By adding a special odor to the rubber band, you can deliver an unexpected surprise and leave a strong impression.
But if the smell is too strong, it might make people around uncomfortable.
The trick is to adjust the intensity of the odor and how often you play based on participants’ reactions.
It’s also easy to share online, so it’s sure to liven up parties with friends who are far away! Just be careful not to overdo it so everyone can end with a smile.
