Punishment games that hype up the year-end party! From disgustingly gross to super embarrassing (31–40)
Balloon Burst
It’s a punishment game you sometimes see on variety shows where you put a big balloon against your stomach, keep inflating it, and make it pop.
It can hurt on bare skin, so it might be better to do it over clothing.
It’s a slightly scary, heart-pounding punishment game for the people watching, too.
Exposure & Confession
Since it’s a year-end party, how about confessing a secret you haven’t told the people you met this year and getting it off your chest? Super serious stuff might be a bit…
not so funny, but let’s go with lighter “I’m sorry” moments, feel refreshed, and welcome the new year!
[Right or Left?] Three Punishments All at Once

The idea is to have the person choose whether to take the punishment on the right or the left, and then deliver the chosen punishment at the same time.
The punishments involve props like a paper fan slap or a butt bat, and the level of pain varies depending on the prop.
The key point is that you hold the props up behind you and ask them to choose, so the target can’t see which prop is on which side.
That means you can even switch them after they choose without getting caught.
The more you combine things to make the target suffer, the more exciting the moment is likely to be.
Double Dutch on an acupressure mat
Because foot reflexology points tend to hurt more for people with physical ailments, they can be a good prompt to reflect on your health.
Now, try double unders while standing on a reflexology mat! The jolts will make the sensations even more intense.
First, have them simply stand on the mat and check which areas hurt—that’s recommended.
Keeping those spots in mind, have them attempt double unders.
Since the mat’s uniquely bumpy surface can throw off balance and potentially cause injury, proceed carefully and let them feel the pain with caution.
Super-hot face towel
In this video, some young girls introduce a new punishment game.
One girl, with a towel placed on her face, seems to find it unbearably hot and collapses onto the floor.
The power of suggestion is strong, so it might not actually be that hot.
Please be careful with the temperature.

Punishment Game Roulette
How about using a roulette wheel when you run out of ideas for penalty games? It offers lots of fun, easy punishments, and you spin the wheel to decide what to do.
Even people who aren’t the ones being punished might want to give it a spin!
◯-second wall sit
For an end-of-year party with your athletic buddies, we recommend a stamina-testing wall-sit punishment game! Press your back flat against the wall and lower your hips until your knees are bent at 90 degrees.
Then set a time and hang in there until the end! If it looks too easy, have them try a version without leaning on the wall.
After getting hyped up from the game—and with some drinks in the mix—a wall sit will be seriously tough.
It’s bound to be a pretty hardcore punishment.
