announce something I’ve been keeping secret

I think it’s easier to talk when you’re given a topic than when someone says, “Tell us something funny.” As one of the party penalties, how about having people share a “Actually, I’m ____” confession? It doesn’t have to be anything particularly funny.
Even completely ordinary things like “Actually, I can play the violin,” or “I actually take yoga classes,” will somehow draw an “Oooh!” at a party.
Along the same lines, “Something I can finally talk about now” is also a very handy prompt.
In conclusion
There were plenty of fun, varied ideas for penalties that are perfect for year-end parties.
What matters most is remembering to be considerate so that everyone ends up smiling.
Choose penalties that fit the atmosphere of the occasion—ones that spark warm laughter amid the embarrassment and surprise.
Here’s hoping this year’s year-end party becomes a joyful, memorable time!
