Drunk Jenga
Drunk Jenga is just Jenga. Except every block has a task written on it. Pull a block and you do what it says. And whoever knocks the tower over is in trouble. In the Netherlands it's called Jenga drankspel.
The best part is that you make the game yourself. Every group writes different tasks. So no night is ever the same.
What is Drunk Jenga?
Setting up
In Drunk Jenga you write tasks on the blocks of a Jenga tower before you start. Think "take 2 sips" or "hand out 3 sips". Then you play Jenga like you always do.
The difference is in every block you pull. You read it out loud. Whatever it says, you have to do.
- Grab a Jenga tower. A cheap wooden stacking tower works just as well.
- Write a task on the blocks with a marker. You don't have to fill them all. An empty block is a free pass.
- Build the tower. Three blocks per layer and every layer crosswise on the one below.
- Get a drink ready for everyone.
How to play
- Pick who goes first.
- Pull a block from the tower using one hand.
- Read the task out loud and do it right away.
- Put the block on top of the tower.
- Next player's turn.
- Tower falls over? Then you down an adtje, your whole drink in one go.
