What happens if the spinner calls something impossible?

If a spin calls for a limb to go on a circle that's already full, everyone drinks and the spinner re-spins for a new call.

What’s the final penalty for the loser?

The loser must chug a full solo cup of their drink and spin the wheel for one additional rule, like everyone switching hands or taking a shot themselves.

Can you play with fewer than four players?

It's possible but awkward. Fewer players mean fewer collisions and fewer opportunities to assign drinks, which takes away much of the fun. Add spectators to spin and drink instead if you're short on players.

What do you do if two players fall at the same time?

If it's unclear who fell first, both players drink. The spinner can choose whether to restart the round or let remaining players continue.

Setup

Tips & Strategies

Wear athletic clothing you don't mind getting grass-stained, as you will be stretching and likely falling. If you're the spinner, call out moves quickly,momentum is what makes this chaotic and fun. Strategically assign your drinks when you succeed; targeting flexible players can make the game more competitive. Lastly, wet grass can make this extra slippery, so clear any water or mud patches before starting.

Variations

Instead of assigning drinks for success, the winner of each round gets to pour a shot for any player of their choice to drink immediately.: Each spin applies to two limbs instead of one, like left hand blue AND right foot yellow, making the game harder and faster.: Players cannot reuse the same limb for consecutive spins, forcing more creative stretching and increasing difficulty.
