Punishment games that hype up the year-end party! From disgustingly gross to embarrassingly funny (71–80)
Post my own poems on social media
The dare of posting your own poem on social media has a unique kind of humor that makes the embarrassment creep up on you.
The fun part is that not only the participants but also people who see it on social media can enjoy getting a glimpse of sensitivities they don’t usually see.
Laughter can come from the poem being overly earnest or, on the flip side, completely leaning into humor.
When posting, it’s a good idea to get creative with hashtags to add extra fun.
This punishment game is very much a product of the digital age, and it’s likely to become a talking point in other contexts as well, making it versatile for a wide range of situations.
bad-tasting candy
It’s a roulette filled with candies.
Inside are two candies: one is delicious, and the other is extremely disgusting.
The bad one is described as tasting like moldy cheese or stinky socks.
It might be fun for two people to try it together and each pick a candy.
Publish the oldest photo in the camera roll
The dare to reveal the oldest photo in your camera roll is easy to do on a smartphone and always gets people excited.
Everyone can look at photos packed with personal memories and laugh together—that’s the charm.
Old travel shots, pet photos, or pictures that reveal an unexpected side of someone make for great buzz.
Questions like “Where was this taken?” start flying, and conversation flows naturally.
It doesn’t require any special tools or preparation, so you can do it anywhere, which adds to its appeal.
It’s a fun dare that’s sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
sing with all my might
Delivering a song with all your might in front of coworkers or school friends is a simple yet perfect penalty game that creates a sense of unity.
Whether someone is confident in their singing or not, giving a full-on performance is guaranteed to get big laughs.
Adding mic work or flashy choreography will hype things up even more.
Song selection matters too—choosing nostalgic hits or popular songs will further boost the crowd’s togetherness.
Incorporating movements and expressions that match the lyrics will make an even stronger impression.
It’s a penalty game that not only brings laughter but also brightens the atmosphere with applause and cheers.
super-sweet candy
Extremely spicy food is often used as a punishment game, but what about the opposite—“extremely sweet”? There aren’t many Japanese sweets that are considered super sweet, but there are tons of incredibly sugary treats overseas.
Let’s gather those kinds of sweets and have people try them! It might not feel like a punishment for those who love sweets, though.
Solemnly state the company motto
The punishment game of solemnly reciting the company motto is characterized by humor linked to everyday work.
The sight of someone calmly delivering the motto with a serious expression is funny in itself, and deliberately turning it into a passionate speech draws even more laughs.
By using exaggerated gestures and varying your tone of voice, you can create a more dramatic effect.
To lighten the mood, raising your voice or adding humorous ad-libs is also recommended.
The excitement created by the gap between seriousness and laughter fosters a unique sense of unity in the workplace.
Drink a beverage with an ultra-thin straw
The punishment game of drinking a beverage through an ultra-thin straw is entertaining for its visual humor and the way participants struggle.
Using a straw far thinner than a normal one, the goal is to finish the drink within a set time.
The effort and serious expressions keep everyone laughing.
The slower the drinking speed, the more exciting it gets, and adding a time limit makes it even more thrilling.
Choosing safe beverages like juice or water lets everyone enjoy it with peace of mind.
If multiple people are taking the punishment, turning it into a race is also recommended.
