Tips & Strategies
Don't underestimate the challenges,if you're bad at trivia, try to excel at the physical ones to avoid extra shots. Assign someone as a 'timekeeper' to ensure the minute intervals and challenges stay on track; this person can rotate out if they want to play too. If you think you're falling behind, start timing your sips more consistently to avoid chugging multiple shots at once. Keep the challenge cards varied by mixing trivia, dares, and physical tasks evenly so no category dominates.
Variations
Hardcore Power Hour. Challenge Roulette. Team Survival
Frequently Asked Questions

- Challenges can range from answering a trivia question about the group, doing 10 push-ups, or convincing someone to give you a high-five in five seconds.
