What counts as an 'impossible stunt' for this game?

Impossible stunts usually involve Ethan Hunt defying physics, like hanging from a helicopter, riding a motorcycle through traffic, or sprinting across rooftops.

What happens if multiple stunts happen in quick succession?

Stack the drinks! If three stunts happen back-to-back, you and the group should drink three times in a row to keep up.

Can I pause the movie to argue about a stunt?

Pausing is allowed only if the group agrees. Use this sparingly since it can ruin the flow of the game.

What’s the ‘final penalty’ for the loser?

This varies by group but often involves finishing a drink or taking a shot after the movie ends.

Tips & Strategies

Focus on scenes involving Tom Cruise; he's almost always at the center of the action and will likely trigger a lot of drinking. Keep an eye out for gadgets,any time a high-tech item is used unrealistically, it's often a good reason to drink. If you're falling behind, start assigning drinks instead of taking them,it's a strategic way to stay in the game! Also, know your stunts: argue less about 'is this impossible?' by agreeing on examples beforehand.
