Punishment games that hype up your year-end party! From disgustingly bad to super embarrassing (41–50)
foot reflexology massage
Have you ever tried a foot reflexology massage? You often see it used as a punishment on TV shows.
Even if you can’t call a professional masseuse, you can buy an acupressure stick at a 100-yen shop, and those are pretty painful too.
An ao-take-fumi (bamboo stepper) might work as well! It might not be very effective for people in perfect health, though…
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.
Waxing with duct tape
When it comes to simple yet thrilling punishments, duct-tape hair removal takes the cake.
The rules are straightforward: participants stick duct tape to their skin and rip it off in one swift motion—but the real highlight is their reaction in that instant.
Because pain and surprise hit at the same time, the laughter never stops.
When the person taking the punishment shows a look of steely resolve, the anticipation builds even more.
Choosing skin-friendly tape or materials that reduce pain lets everyone enjoy it more safely.
This never-gets-old game is perfect for hyping up the whole venue.
cosplay
We’ll have people do cosplay.
Anime characters are fine, and it might be fun for men to wear sailor uniforms, too.
They could go around pouring drinks in costume or place orders with the staff while staying in character.
Men in mini-skirts could really get the crowd excited!
mixed juice
If it’s a year-end party, there will probably be plenty of alcohol, juice, and other drinks lined up.
Let’s mix them and have everyone try a homemade mixed drink! Try combining cola, melon soda, orange juice, and even aojiru (green vegetable juice).
You might end up with something surprisingly tasty!
