Penalty game ideas (31–40) to further enliven performances and skits
A game where you find treasures in the powder
It’s a game where you hide candies or the like in a pile of powder and try to find them with your face without using your hands.
Your face ends up completely white, but it’s guaranteed to be hilarious.
Be careful if there are girls present, as they might dislike it because their makeup could get messed up.
Drink aojiru (green vegetable juice)
Aojiru is rich in nutrients, but it’s also famous for tasting bad.
Let’s have someone take on aojiru as a penalty game and share their tasting impressions.
Some store-bought aojiru actually tastes good, so choosing one that doesn’t is an important point for a proper penalty game.
If you really can’t find a flavor harsh enough for a forfeit, you could try mixing in additional vegetables with a commercial one.
It could also be fun to turn it into a guessing game where they try to figure out which vegetables are in it.
What’s inside the box?
A “what’s in the box?” game where you guess the contents using only your hands.
Since it’s for a punishment game, it might be okay to make what’s inside the box pretty hardcore.
Seafood and the like can be quite tough.
Even a stuffed animal will make everyone jump, thinking it’s a real animal.
Tire-flavored gummy
HARIBO gummies are famous worldwide, but believe it or not, there’s a tire-flavored one on the market.
It’s a rubber-flavored gummy, and from the smell alone it seems incredibly nasty.
Since the punishment is just eating a gummy, it might be a relatively easy challenge for a dare.
[Right or Left?] Three Punishments All at Once

The idea is to have them choose whether to take the punishment on the right or the left, and then administer the chosen punishment at the same time.
The punishments use props like a paper fan or a bat to the butt, and the level of pain varies depending on the prop.
The key point is that you hold the props up behind them and have them choose, so the target can’t see the props—and even if you swap them after they choose, they won’t notice.
The more you pair things so the target suffers, the more exciting the moment will likely be.

state the lowest score on a test
Do you remember the lowest score you ever got on a test? If this feels like a punishment game to you, a specific answer sheet you’d rather forget probably came to mind.
It’s an even better conversation starter if you share the subject and the story behind why you ended up with that score.
Admitting your lowest score can be a little embarrassing, but by telling an awkward story, you might spark lots of questions and end up feeling much closer to friends or a partner!
Announce the words and the situation of the proposal
This is the kind of dare you’d want to use on newlyweds or friends who just got engaged.
A proposal is a huge moment for a man.
He’s surely planned it out carefully, with cool lines and gestures he wouldn’t usually show! As bystanders we’d love to hear about it, but for the person himself it couldn’t be more embarrassing.
That said, depending on the couple, it might have been a reverse proposal from the woman! If everyone in the group is single, it’s also fun to have them talk about their “ideal proposal scenario.”
