Ways to use this list
- Board game nights: whoever finishes last spins one forfeit before the next game is set up, so losing becomes part of the fun.
- Team quizzes at a class party: the lowest-scoring table picks a forfeit together and performs it as a group, so no child is on the spot alone.
- Fast card games: a wrong slap in snap or a missed call earns a 10-second forfeit, and play carries straight on.
- Classrooms and libraries: the Quiet forfeits button keeps the game going without chairs scraping or anyone shouting.
- Stories and role-play: press Fantasy kingdom for punishments a storybook queen might hand out, like guarding the troll bridge in the rain.
Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you
like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the
chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

Questions people ask
What makes a good forfeit for kids?
One that is over in under a minute, makes the group laugh with the player rather than at them, and needs nothing but the player. None of these involve food, so allergies are never a worry.
How do I stop the same forfeit coming up twice?
It won't happen in one round: No repeats until everyone is picked is on from the start, so every forfeit gets done once before any can return. Want the wheel itself to shrink as forfeits are done? Choose Remove the winner in Settings, and press ↺ Put this list back in the picker when you want the full set again.
Can a player refuse a punishment?
Agree the rule before you start. Many families allow one free pass per game or a re-spin, which keeps forfeits feeling like part of the game rather than a test of nerve.
What is a fantasy punishment?
A punishment from a made-up world, the sort a storyteller gives a cheeky goblin or a knight who fell asleep on guard. The Fantasy kingdom button swaps in a dozen of them for stories and role-play games.
