Tips & Strategies
Pick challenges that are simple but hilarious under pressure,like Cookie Face,because they get funnier when people are slightly buzzed. Use smaller teams (2-3 players max) to keep everyone involved and avoid long waits between turns. For team balance, mix players who are competitive with players who aren't great under pressure; it keeps the vibe light. Pre-test your timer setup, especially if you're using a phone, so there's no arguing about whether someone's time was up.
Variations
Drunk-Handicap Round: After losing at a station, the losing team must drink and then re-do the challenge,but with one hand tied behind their back.. Wildcard Station: Add one station where the judge creates a surprise challenge on the spot. Both teams attempt it with no prep time, and the judge decides the winner.. Double or Nothing: Teams can bet double drinks before a challenge. If they win, the opposing team drinks double. If they lose, they drink twice themselves.
