As the year progresses, new and innovative party drinking games continue to emerge, offering adults fresh and exciting ways to add some hilarity and fun to their gatherings. In this blog post, we'll explore the most entertaining and side-splitting new party drinking games that are sure to be a hit with adults.
1. Roulette Fun Party Drinking games
A daring twist on the classic roulette game, Tequila Roulette involves a bottle of tequila and a set of shot glasses, one of which is filled with the potent spirit. Players take turns spinning the bottle and must drink from the glass it lands on – a thrilling game of chance and bravery.
Shot Glass Roulette (available to be purchased)
In this variation, you set up a roulette wheel with numbered shot glasses placed around it. Players take turns spinning the roulette ball. Whichever shot glass the ball lands in, that player has to drink the contents of that numbered glass. You can make it more interesting by filling some glasses with water and others with different alcoholic drinks like vodka, tequila, etc. This adds an element of surprise and risk.
French Roulette (DIY)
This doesn't require an actual roulette wheel. Instead, you line up several shot glasses filled with different drinks. Players take turns drawing cards from a deck. The person who draws the lowest card has to drink the next shot in the line. You can get creative with the drinks - make some delicious, and some disgusting, and throw in some non-alcoholic ones too. The unpredictability of not knowing which drink you'll get adds excitement.
Roulette Russian Roulette (available to be purchased)
Fill most of the shot glasses with water, but put hard liquor like vodka in just one or two glasses. Players spin the wheel and drink whatever numbered glass the ball lands on. The thrill comes from not knowing if you'll get a refreshing water shot or be forced to take a strong vodka shot. It mimics the tension of the classic Russian Roulette game but in a fun, non-lethal drinking game way.
The key for these roulette drinking game variations is adding elements of chance, surprise, and risk through creative use of the wheel, shot glasses, different drink combinations, and cards. It makes a simple spin of the wheel into an exciting and potentially messy experience.
2. Pictionary Drinking games
Combine the classic drawing game with the added challenge of alcohol, and you've got Drunken Pictionary. Teams take turns trying to illustrate words or phrases while their teammates attempt to guess, all while drinking their favorite drinks. Hilarity ensues as drawing skills deteriorate.
Drunk Pictionary (DIY)
This is the classic version where players split into teams and take turns drawing clues on a pad while their teammates try to guess the word or phrase before time runs out. Add a drinking twist by having the drawer take a drink for every incorrect guess their team makes. The guessing team can also take drinks for particularly bad drawings.
Timed Pictionary (DIY)
Set a short time limit, like 30 seconds or 1 minute per word. The drawer has to chug their drink while drawing and the guessing team drinks for every word they miss in that time frame. Ramps up the pressure and drunkenness.
Drunk Pictionary Categories (DIY)
Assign categories like movies, songs, celebrities, etc. The drawer has to convey the word through drawing but the guessers have to also name the category it falls under for their guess to count. Incorrect categories mean drinks.
The key is adding constraints through time limits, physical challenges, combining with other games like Charades, or upping the drinking penalties for missed words or awful drawings. It transforms the classic Pictionary into a much more raucous and inebriated experience.
3. Boozy Would You Rather Games
A fun and thought-provoking game, Boozy Would You Rather challenges players to choose between two outrageous or embarrassing scenarios, with the loser taking a drink. This game is sure to spark lively debates and plenty of laughter among friends.
Guessing Would you Rather (DIY)
Before the "Would You Rather" question is asked, players secretly write down which option (A or B) they think the person will choose. After they answer, anyone who guessed incorrectly has to drink. This adds an element of trying to predict your friends' responses.
Categories Would You Rather (DIY)
Establish different categories like movies, sports, dating, etc. Players ask "Would You Rather" questions but they must fit into one of the pre-determined categories. If the answerer gets the category wrong based on the question, they drink.
4. Drunk Karaoke Battles (DIY)
Embrace your inner rock star with Drunk Karaoke Battles. Participants take turns belting out their favorite tunes, with judges awarding points for enthusiasm, creativity, and overall performance. Losers must take a drink, making each round more entertaining than the last.
5. Beer Party Games
Channel your competitive spirit with Beer Olympics, a series of silly and challenging games involving beer consumption and physical tasks. From beer pong relays to chugging contests, this game is sure to bring out the athlete in everyone – or at least the most entertaining attempts.
Flip Cup (DIY)
This game is a race against time between two teams. Each player has a cup filled with beer or another drink in front of them. The first person chugs their drink and then flips the empty cup upside down on the table's edge. Once their cup lands perfectly flipped, the next teammate can start drinking.
Truth Dare Pong (available to be purchased)
This innovative spin on beer pong divides the cups into "Truth" and "Dare" sections. When a player's ball lands in a Truth cup, the opponent must answer a racy truth question truthfully before drinking that cup's contents. If it lands in a Dare cup, they have to perform the outrageous dare written on the bottom before drinking.
Quarters (DIY)
The classic quarters-drinking game simply requires a quarter, cups/glasses, and beer. Players take turns bouncing or shooting the quarter, attempting to have it land inside an opponent's drink-filled cup or glass. If successful, that opponent must drink the entire cup while the shooter keeps the quarter for their next turn.
Power Hour (DIY)
This endurance drinking game challenges players to consume an entire beer in 60 one-minute increments by taking a shot of beer each minute when a timer or music cues them.
The key for these beer games is combining drinking with elements of competition, physical skills, creative twists on classics like pong and flip cup, and endurance challenges- all providing different experiences for a fun party night.
6. Jenga Drinking Games
Take the classic block-stacking game to new heights with Drunk Jenga, Jenga Jingles, and MadBlox. In this risqué versions, each block is inscribed with a provocative or embarrassing dare or challenge that players must complete if they cause the tower to tumble.
Drunk Jenga (DIY)
This popular twist takes the classic wood block-stacking game and adds an extra element of physical and mental challenge as drinks are consumed. Each Jenga block has a different rule or dare written on it that players must follow whenever they pull that block from the tower.
Jenga Jingles (DIY)
This musical spin on Jenga has each block with a different song, TV theme, or jingle written on it.
When a player pulls a block, they must accurately sing or hum that tune before stacking it back on the tower. If they fail to properly perform the song or jingle, they have to take a drink as a penalty and return the block to its original position. As drinks are consumed, recalling and singing the right tunes from memory becomes the hilarious challenge.
MadBlox (available to be purchased)
From the makers of Truth Dare Pong comes another wild and racy spin on Jenga - MadBlox. This adult version has each Jenga block printed with suggestive dares, drinking instructions, and NSFW prompts that players must attempt when they pull that block.
Dares range from relatively tame like "Give Someone a Lap Dance" to extremely risqué and physical challenges not appropriate for all audiences. The game gets increasingly outrageous as more drinks are consumed and players let their inhibitions go.
7. Tipsy Trivia
Test your knowledge and your drinking prowess with Tipsy Trivia. Players take turns answering trivia questions from various categories, with incorrect answers resulting in a drink penalty. As the night progresses, the questions (and the drinks) become more challenging.
Pub Trivia (DIY)
This is a classic team-based drinking trivia game. Split into even teams and assign each player a number. The quizmaster calls out a number, and those players from each team step forward to answer a trivia question. The first to shout out the correct answer is safe, while the wrong answerers have to drink a predetermined amount like 2 fingers of beer. Rotate through the numbers each round.
I Drink and I Know Things (DIY)
One player starts by saying "I drink and I know..." followed by a piece of trivia they know. The other players race to blurt out the answer first. If someone fails to answer correctly, they drink. The player who answered first then makes the next trivia statement. If no one knows, the original player provides the answer and goes again.
Truth or Drink Trivia (DIY)
This combines the Truth or Drink game with trivia elements. Players take turns asking trivia questions from different categories. If the person answering gets the question wrong, they must drink instead of answering truthfully. You can add difficulty levels, with harder questions resulting in bigger drinking penalties.
8. Monopoly Drinking Games
Monopoly Pub Crawl (DIY)
This is a well-known UK variation where players actually visit the real-life pubs and locations corresponding to the properties on the Monopoly board while playing the drinking game rules. As you land on a property, you have to go to that associated pub/bar and drink there.
MadPoly (available to be purchased)
It includes over 100 outrageous dares and prompts printed directly on the property cards, Chance cards, etc. When you land on a space, you must attempt the suggestive dare or prompts in addition to following standard Monopoly rules and drinking penalties. The dares increase in raunchiness as the game progresses.
Drinkopoly (available to be purchased)
The game includes special property cards, Chance cards, and rules that go far beyond just buying properties or paying rent. Players must follow prompts to perform ridiculous dares, engage in social drinking stunts, make toasts, and attempt embarrassing physical challenges - all while continuing to advance around the board
9. Drunk Twister Games (DIY)
Bring back the classic game of Twister, but add an adult twist by incorporating drinking rules. Players must take a drink for every body part they fail to place correctly on the mat, leading to increasingly precarious and hilarious positions.
10. Drunk Charades
Here are some creative ways to incorporate drinking into charade games:
Drinking Charades (DIY)
The classic way to add drinking is to require players to drink whenever they get a word/phrase wrong when guessing. The actor also has to drink if their team fails to guess correctly within the time limit.
Boozy Charades (DIY)
Split into two teams. One player acts out a movie/TV show/song and their team tries to guess. If they get it right, the other team drinks. If they fail to guess, the acting team drinks. Rotate actors each round.
Drunk Charades (DIY)
Players take turns acting out words, phrases, or movie titles while intoxicated. The more drunk the actor, the funnier and more challenging it becomes for the guessers.
Charades Drinking Game (DIY)
One team acts out a movie, book, etc. If the opposing team guesses correctly, the acting team drinks. If they fail to guess, the opposing team drinks.
Tipsy Charades (DIY)
Like regular charades but players must drink before acting out their clue. Incorrect guesses result in the guesser drinking as a penalty.
Themed Drinking Charades (DIY)
Create themed word lists around different alcoholic drinks (e.g. beer words, wine words, cocktail words). When a team guesses a word correctly, they drink the corresponding beverage.
Charades Drinking Dare (DIY)
Before each round, draw a dare card that assigns a drinking penalty or bonus drink for that round, like "drink every time the actor uses their hands" or "finish your drink if you get it wrong."
The key creative elements are requiring drinking penalties for wrong guesses, having actors drink while performing, incorporating different alcoholic beverages, and adding extra drinking dares or challenges.
