Punishment Games That Hype Up a Party (41–50)
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans
These sweets from the Harry Potter film series are also a classic souvenir at Universal Studios Japan.
They drew attention because the list includes names that are clearly not food.
You can usually guess the “bad” flavors to some extent from the appearance of the beans, so pick those out and have someone try them as a forfeit.
You can steel yourself and choose a bad flavor on your own, or add some excitement by having someone else pick what you’ll eat—either way, it’s sure to liven things up.
Punishments that liven up the party (51–60)
Think of your own catchphrase and introduce yourself.
How about coming up with your own catchphrase and introducing yourself with it? That way it works as an embarrassing-style penalty game, and it could also be a chance to get to know each other better.
Who knows—this might even help you make more friends! If you try it, think up a catchphrase inspired by your distinctive traits, the things you like, or your hobbies.
For a laugh, it’s also fun to deliberately give yourself an over-the-top, grandiose tagline.
How does your family address you? What do they call you?
For some people, this question basically turns into a punishment game! If you’re usually called by your name without any honorifics, it’s no big deal.
But if you’ve always been addressed with “-chan” or “-kun” since you were little, or you go by a quirky nickname, it might be a pretty embarrassing dare.
It’s probably especially unpleasant for men, maybe? Depending on the person, this dare can get everyone really hyped, but keep the fun and any talk about names limited to that moment.
Imitating or teasing someone about it after the game is over is a no-go.
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.
Homemade mixed juice
By “homemade,” I don’t mean something you make properly in a blender, but rather a “homemade mixed juice” where you combine small amounts of whatever drinks are on hand.
At parties, you usually buy a bunch of different kinds of juices, right? Maybe you’ll end up with something miraculously delicious?
Drawing without looking at anything
We’ll give prompts and have people draw pictures.
The prompts will be well-known manga or anime characters, and they’ll draw them from memory without looking at anything.
If you look at a reference, you can usually manage a decent drawing, but drawing with nothing to look at is harder than you’d expect.
shopping for supplies
This is really a simple penalty game: doing the shopping.
It’s where you’re made to go buy more drinks and food when they run out.
It’s nice if there’s a store nearby, but it’s tough if it’s far away.
Doing the shopping while live-streaming over a free calling app is a fun idea too.
In conclusion
We introduced some penalty games that can liven up a party—what did you think? They ranged from a bit hardcore to light and easy to enjoy.
Keep the party type and participants in mind, and make sure the penalty games are just as fun as the games that come before them!
