Baskin Robbins 31 - Drinking Game Rules & How to Play

Count to 31 but do not be the one to say it. Say up to 3 numbers per turn.

Equipment Needed

  • Drinks

Setup

Everyone sits in a circle. No equipment needed besides drinks. Decide who starts.

How to Play Baskin Robbins 31

  1. The first player starts counting from 1.
  2. On your turn you can say one, two, or three consecutive numbers.
  3. For example you could say just "1" or "1, 2" or "1, 2, 3" to start.
  4. The next player continues from where you left off.
  5. Keep going around the circle counting higher.
  6. Whoever is forced to say 31 loses and has to drink.
  7. Start a new round with the loser going first.

Tips & Strategies

Think ahead about the math. If you can land on 27 you are in good shape since they have to say at least 28. Saying three numbers early can backfire later.

Variations

Some groups play to different numbers like 21 or 41. Others add rules like you must clap on multiples of 7. Speed rounds where hesitation means drinking add extra pressure.
