What you'll do:

In Japan, there is a style of comedy known as batsu game (罰ゲーム), where comedians compete in challenges of all kinds with the losers receiving a punishment. BATSU! brings this comedy style to America, with comedians competing to avoid electric shocks, paintballs, a giant egg-smashing chicken, and many more hilarious jaw-dropping punishments!

Why we love it for your party:

Indescribable and unforgettable experience (viral TikToks practically guaranteed)
Dinner and a live show all in one experience (delectable food and drinks available throughout the evening)
Opportunity for guests of honor to participate (only if they want to - we love consent)
Sake bombs (need we say more)
Speakeasy vibes (If you know, you know)

About this experience partner:

We started in January 2011 at Jebon Sushi & Noodle in the lower level of historic St. Marks Place, expanded to Chicago in June of 2016 at Kamehachi in Old Town, and moved into our own space in NYC (then called WARA "笑") in January of 2019. We were forced to close during the pandemic in 2020, and in February of 2022, after nearly two very difficult and long years, BATSU! NYC reopened with an expanded leadership team that is majority Asian and Asian-American.
