Romance-themed penalty game questions (1–10)
Which do you prefer: to be loved or to love?
Whether someone prefers to be the one who actively loves, or the one who is loved by those around them, reveals different aspects of their personality.
How about checking the difference between these styles of being loved and using that to delve into the deeper parts of one’s character? While it’s a topic about how we relate to others, making “love” the theme adds a touch of embarrassment in a good way.
If people can also recall specific episodes that show which type they are, the conversation will likely become even more lively.
Where is the line for cheating?
Cheating is a major incident that can destroy the trust you’ve built up, and it’s something you should avoid.
Let’s explore how each person defines the boundaries of cheating, which can help prevent such conflicts.
By examining where the line is crossed within a relationship, we may also gain insight into each person’s personality and way of relating to others.
Although cheating is a delicate issue, sharing each other’s perspectives could help prevent future problems.
What’s your type?
Everyone has a true self and a public face.
When it comes to ideal types, there are safe answers that anyone can relate to, and there may also be deeper ones like, “It’s hard to say this around others, but personally I like this kind of person…” If you get a safe answer, it might be fun to follow up with, “But what’s your real answer?!”
Where was your first kiss?
The question “Where was your first kiss?” tends to bring up a whole chain of memories—your age at the time, stories about the person you were with, and so on.
If it’s something from long ago, from when you were very young, you might be able to talk about it fondly.
But if it’s something from the past few years, your partner might feel a bit jealous.
When was your first love?
You know how the moment you first felt love stays so vivid in your memory? But surprisingly, we don’t often put it into words, do we? If you start talking about it in your own words, you might just find yourself getting embarrassed.
With this question, you might get to see a cute side of someone who’s usually serious!
What gestures make your heart skip a beat?
What kinds of gestures people find attractive vary from person to person, and some may keep their preferences secret without telling anyone.
How about having everyone think up and present the kinds of heart-fluttering gestures they like—ones they wouldn’t normally have a chance to show off to others? If they can also talk about how they came to notice those gestures, not just what they find attractive, it will make the embarrassment stand out even more.
After the presentations, it could be fun to have others try those gestures themselves and playfully tease the presenters to the fullest—it’s likely to liven things up.
How many times have you confessed your feelings, and how many times have others confessed to you so far?
This is a perfect punishment-game idea for when you want to spice up a conversation about romance.
By stepping into personal topics people don’t usually share, the room instantly shifts into attention mode.
The surprise and laughs often come from answers being unexpectedly high—or even zero.
By answering honestly, you can glimpse someone’s popularity and dating tendencies, which opens up even more discussion.
For example, if someone says, “I actually confessed three times and got rejected each time,” the mood can suddenly turn warm and cozy.
Just make sure to ask lightly with a joking tone so the person answering doesn’t feel too pressured.
Romance topics can really energize a group, but remember to read the room and have fun.
