Punishment Wheel: a fast, funny way to pick forfeits
Need a quick way to decide the forfeit when someone loses a round? This Punishment Wheel keeps things moving with a pre-made set of party challenges—no arguing, no long pauses, just a clear result.
Default wheel items include classics like PICKLE SHOT, DO LIKE KONG, RE - SPIN, SAFE, and more (yes, it gets weird—in a good way).
What’s on the wheel (default ideas)
Here are a few examples from the included list:

Tip: Before you start, agree on what’s “too much” for your group and edit the list to fit.
Make it your own in seconds
Use Edit to tailor the wheel for your party:
- Clean up wording (or add your inside jokes)
- Remove anything that doesn’t fit your vibe
- Use weighted items so mild outcomes pop up more often
- Turn on elimination mode to avoid repeats during a session
Easy ways to play (house rules)
- Loser’s forfeit: Each time someone loses a game round, they take the wheel’s result.
- Wildcard round: Trigger the wheel at set times (every 10 minutes, every 3 rounds, etc.).
- “SAFE” saves: Decide whether SAFE skips the punishment entirely or just passes it to the next person.
Wrap it up by saving your setup and sharing the URL so everyone plays the same rules.
