Invader of Darkness appears in this card's artwork.
Fittingly, that card has a similar effect to this card, as it locks the opponent out of using Quick-Play Spell Cards.

This card is a reference to Yami Yugi’s punishment of the same name that he would inflict upon antagonistic characters in the manga and anime.

Previously Official Rulings
If the second effect of "Penalty Game!" is chosen, the opponent can still activate the effects of cards that are already face-up on the field, such as "Skull Lair" or "The Dragon's Bead".
"Penalty Game!" only requires your opponent to have 4 cards in hand when it is activated, not when it resolves. So your opponent can activate "Jar of Greed" to have 5 cards, or chain a Quick-Play Spell Card from his/her hand and have 3 cards, and "Penalty Game!" will still resolve.
If you choose the first effect, neither player can activate a card that would require the opponent to draw during their next Draw Phase, such as "Jar of Greed" or "Disturbance Strategy".
