Are you looking for Girls’ Night In or Girls’ Night Out with Fun Drinking Games? Let’s be honest, the best nights with your girlfriends call for a bit of bubbly. Forget the usual chatter – try these hilarious drinking games to spice up your party, build memories, and maybe even share a few secrets you’ll giggle about for weeks.
From Truth or Dare to Trivia with a Twist: I’ve got a whole lineup of games for any party size and taste. Whether you crave classic fun like Never Have I Ever or want to test your pop-culture knowledge, get ready for laughs, surprises, and maybe a delicious cocktail or two.
1. Never Have I Ever
This drinking game classic Neve Have I Ever never disappoints! Take turns revealing potentially embarrassing or surprising actions with “Never have I ever…”. If someone admits to doing it, they take a drink (or complete a fun challenge!). The laughs and surprises start flowing fast!
What You’ll Need:
- Drinks of choice (shots, cocktails, wine all work!)
- Open minds and a sense of humor
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Spice it up with themed categories – bad dates, wild college stories, you name it!
- Everyone writes down a “Never have I Ever…” on a slip of paper. Shuffle and read them aloud – perfect for shy friends and juicy reveals!
No judgments! The fun is in the laughs and bonding, not shaming anyone for their past. Set a “safe space” vibe from the start.
2. King’s Cup (aka Circle of Death, Ring of Fire…)
Players take turns drawing cards, each with a specific rule or action. Whoever draws a King pours some of their drink into the center cup. The lucky soul who draws the fourth King has to chug the whole concoction!
What You’ll Need:
- A standard deck of playing cards
- A large cup or bowl (the “King’s Cup”)
- Your favorite drinks
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Invent your own wacky card rules – like doing TikTok dances or revealing embarrassing secrets!
- Use themed drinks in the King’s Cup for a fun twist. Pink bubbly for bachelorette parties? Colorful shots for a birthday bash?
Pace yourselves! Nobody wants the party to end with someone face-down on the carpet. Alternate Kings Cup rounds with less boozy games or snacks to keep the fun going.
3. Most Likely To
Someone asks a “Most Likely To…” question – like “Most likely to have a secret talent?” or “Most likely to become a social media star?”. On the count, everyone points at who they think fits the description.
What You’ll Need:
- Your close-knit crew
- Juicy questions (think embarrassing moments, hidden skills, wild dreams)
- Willingness to laugh at yourselves
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Go Beyond Basic Questions: “Most likely to…” travel the world, win a silly award, have an adorable pet – get creative!
- Explain Yourselves: Why did you pick that person? Get ready to defend your choices with hilarious stories.
- Fun Prizes or Penalties: A goofy crown for the winner, a mini-dare for the person with the most votes… keep things light and playful!
Keep it lighthearted! This is about poking fun, not tearing anyone down. Set a good-natured vibe from the start, and those laughs will flow as freely as the drinks.
4. Categories (or Scattergories, if you’re fancy)
Think fast! This game challenges your vocabulary and creativity. Choose categories like “Girl Boss Careers”, “Things You’d Take on a Desert Island”, or “90s Pop Songs”. Roll a die (or pick a random letter) and race against the clock – how many items starting with that letter can you list for each category?
What You’ll Need:
- Paper and pens
- A timer (your phone works fine)
- A competitive spirit and a decent vocabulary!
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Get creative with wacky categories! Think “Bad Date Habits,” “Celebrity Crushes,” or “Things Your Mom Would Say.”
- Double points for unique answers no one else thought of – encourages some out-of-the-box thinking!
Set a reasonable time limit. Too short, and the pressure is overwhelming; too long, and it drags. Aim for a sweet spot where people feel challenged but not completely stumped.
5. Drunk Jenga
Upgrade classic Jenga with hilarious challenges and escalating dares! Before the game, write on each block – anything from silly dances to revealing questions or mini-challenges. As you build the tower, take turns pulling blocks and doing what they say. The player who topples it? They face the ultimate challenge!
What You’ll Need:
- A standard Jenga set
- Markers for writing dares
- A sense of adventure (and drinks of choice)
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Tailor the challenges to your group! Inside jokes, pop culture references, dares that bring out everyone’s wild side.
- Mix in fun tasks like “swap shoes with someone” or “give a toast”.
Start easy and escalate! Early blocks are light dares, but the closer to the top, the crazier they get. This builds suspense as the tower (and everyone’s inhibitions) start to wobble.
6. Medusa Drinking Game for Girls’ Night
Players sit in a circle, heads down, eyes closed. On the count of three, everyone looks up and chooses someone to stare at. If you’re locked eyes with someone else, you both yell “Medusa!” and chug your drinks. Last ones standing win!
What You’ll Need:
- Drinks (or prepare for silly challenges)
- A group ready for some intense eye contact
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Amp up the drama! Play in a dimly lit room, add some suspenseful background music for a hilarious twist.
- Themed rounds: Everyone picks a celebrity crush at the start. If you lock eyes with someone with the same crush– instant Medusa!
It’s more about the laughter than skill. Encourage silly faces, dramatic fake-outs, and a playful atmosphere to make it a night to remember.
7. Truth or Drink (or Truth or Dare, with drinks as the dares!)
Uncover hilarious truths and maybe a few hidden desires! In this classic, players either answer a revealing question honestly or take a drink. Keep it lighthearted or dive deep – the choice is yours.
What You’ll Need:
- A juicy list of questions (the bolder, the better)
- Your daring, open-minded besties
- Drinks (flexible – shots, cocktails, or even just water!)
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Question Categories: Break it down with rounds like, “Embarrassing Childhood Stories”, “Relationship Confessions”, “Never Have I Ever… (Spicy Edition), “Wild College Stories”, “Secret Crushes”.
- Anonymous Secrets: Everyone writes down a few secrets beforehand. Shuffle them up and read them aloud – perfect for those really juicy revelations.
Set the tone! This can go from silly to deep quickly. Make sure everyone’s comfortable and emphasize that a “drink” can be a sip, not a full shot, if things get intense.
8. Flip Cup
Teams line up on opposite sides of the table, each person with a filled cup. Starting at one end, players race to chug their drink, set the cup on the edge of the table, and use a finger-flick to flip it upside down. Relay race style, the next teammate can only start once the flip is successful.
What You’ll Need:
- Plastic cups (enough for everyone, plus a few spares)
- Your favorite drinks
- A long table, competitive spirit, and quick hands!
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Fancy Drinks: Swap beer for colorful cocktails or wobbly jello shots.
- Flipping Challenges: Left-handed rounds, blindfolded flips, or flip while singing karaoke!
- Victory is Sweet: Winning team gets bragging rights, plus chooses dares or picks the music.
Cup choice matters! Too flimsy, and they’ll collapse; too rigid, and they’re hard to flip. Test a few beforehand to find the perfect balance.
9. Beer Pong (or Prosecco Pong, Wine Pong)
Teams take turns trying to bounce ping pong balls into the opposing team’s cups. Land a ball, they drink! Clear all your opponent’s cups, you win.
What You’ll Need:
- Plastic Cups (10 per team is standard)
- Ping pong balls
- A long table
- Your beverage of choice (doesn’t have to be beer!)
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Switch up the Drinks: Use mini wine bottles, colorful cocktails in shot glasses, or get creative! It adds a fun visual element.
- Themed Cups: Decorate cups based on a bachelorette party theme, favorite TV show characters.
- Bonus Rules: Make certain cups “double shots,” have “trick shot” rules for behind-the-back bounces, etc.
It’s more about the social aspect than skill! Encourage cheering, playful trash-talk, and keep the drinks flowing for maximum good times.
10. Quarters Drinking Game for Girl’s Night
Players take turns bouncing a quarter, aiming to land it into a cup or glass on the table. Nail a shot, you choose someone to drink. Miss, and it’s your turn to chug.
What You’ll Need:
- A few quarters (or other bouncy coins)
- A table (with a bit of texture for optimal bouncing)
- Cups or glasses for drinks
- A group ready to test their skills (and luck)
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Ditch the Solo Cups: Use martini glasses, colorful shot glasses, or even themed cups for a more glam feel.
- Custom “Punishments”: Instead of just drinking, mix in mini-dares, silly questions, or have the “victim” pick the next song on the playlist.
- Skill Shots: Have a “Trick Shot Cup” for advanced players – land it, and you get to invent a hilarious challenge!
Table surface matters! Too smooth, and the quarter slides forever; too rough, and it won’t bounce predictably. A little texture is ideal.
11. Stack Cup (or Speed Stacks, Sport Stacking)
Unleash your inner speed demon! Race the clock to stack and un-stack special cups in lightning-fast sequences. It’s about focus, coordination, and the thrill of beating your personal best.
What You’ll Need:
- Specially designed speed stacking cups (12 per player is ideal)
- A timer (your phone works perfectly)
- Fast hands and coordination!
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Team Tournaments: Up the excitement with a bracketed tournament! Each round gets more frantic and hilarious.
- Handicap Challenges: Stack with your non-dominant hand, blindfolded, or even while singing the alphabet backward.
- “Penalty” Drinks: Mess up your stack? Take a sip! Adds a bit of lighthearted pressure to keep things interesting.
Start slow! It’s tempting to rush, but mastering the basic cup sequences builds muscle memory for long-term success. Once the technique is down, the speed will come!
12. Ship, Captain, Crew… and Mateys!
Players roll dice to create combinations representing a ship’s crew – highest rolls win! Standard ranks are Ship (6), Captain (5), Crew (4), and a bonus “Matey” can be anything you decide.
What You’ll Need:
- Five dice per player
- A sense of adventure and a willingness to get silly
- Wild imagination for those crew roles!
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Themed Ranks: Forget the boring nautical terms! Use inside jokes, pop culture references, or things like “Best Hair” or “Most Likely to Get Arrested Tonight.”
- Actions, Not Drinks: Instead of chugging, assign actions to each rank: act out a scene, do an impression, sing a karaoke line, etc.
- Bonus Dice: Add a sixth “Wild Card” die with customizable actions for an extra element of surprise.
Keep it Snappy! Don’t get bogged down explaining complicated rules. This game is best when it’s fast-paced and hilarious, with a focus on silliness, not strategy.
13. Shot Roulette (Spin the Bottle & Roulette)
Players take turns spinning the wheel. Whatever your shot lands on, that’s your fate! It’s all about the thrill of the unknown and those hilarious reactions.
What You’ll Need:
- A shot roulette wheel (or make your own with a lazy Susan and numbered glasses)
- An adventurous mix of shots
- A playful spirit and a camera to capture those reactions!
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Custom Shots: Forget the standard liquor lineup. Mix up themed cocktails, use fun ingredients, and include some sweet treats as well for a less intimidating spin.
- Secret Ingredients: Label some shots by number only. Players must guess the ingredients with the loser(s) having to take an extra spin as punishment.
- Dares & Dilemmas: Include a few “dare” shots – give a compliment, swap an item of clothing, etc. It keeps things unpredictable!
It’s about the spectacle, not the quantity! Small shots with exciting flavors are far more fun than big gulps of straight liquor that’ll end the night early.
14. Pyramid (aka Ride the Bus)
Cards are laid out in a pyramid. Players take turns guessing the value of face-down cards. If they have a matching card in their hand, they can call another player to drink. Bluffing, strategy, and a good poker face are key!
What You’ll Need:
- A deck of cards
- Your drink of choice
- A group ready for some mind games and bluffing
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Assign Card Values: Instead of numbers, assign dares, questions, or actions. Get scandalous to tailor it for your group!
- “Safe Word” Option: Allow someone being bluffed to take a small sip instead of the full drink if they feel unsure. Keeps it fun and not punishing.
- Themed Rounds: Categories like “Celeb Crushes” or “Bad Ex Stories” lead to hilarious rounds as cards are revealed.
Watch for tells! Is your friend suddenly super confident? They might be bluffing. Paying attention to behavior is half the fun.
15. Screw the Dealer (F* the Dealer)
Players try to guess the suit and value of a face-down card, getting closer and closer without going over. The one who forces the dealer to flip over a card everyone loses, and drinks!
What You’ll Need:
- A deck of cards
- Drinks for everyone
- A playful willingness to get a little competitive
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Custom Consequences: Instead of everyone drinking when someone busts, they choose a player to complete a mini-dare or answer a spicy question.
- Themed Suits: Assign actions to each suit – hearts are compliments, diamonds are dares, etc. Adds a layer of anticipation as cards are revealed.
- Pass the Dealer Crown: Whoever busts becomes the new dealer for added chaos and shifting power dynamics.
It’s about strategy, not luck! Pay attention to which cards are already out, and don’t be afraid to bluff a little to make your opponents sweat.
16. Civil War (or Team Battle Shots)
Two teams face off in a rapid-fire ping pong battle. Players take turns throwing balls, aiming to land them in the opposing team’s cups. Every cup hit means the other team drinks and removes that cup. The first team to eliminate all the other team’s cups wins!
What You’ll Need:
- Solo cups (12 or 18 per team, depending on team size)
- 2-3 ping pong balls (same number as teams)
- A table long enough for teams to stand opposite each other
- Drinks for your chosen battle royale
Make it Girls’ Night Gold:
- Themed Teams: Ditch Team A vs. Team B. Get creative with bachelorette party flair! “Bride Tribe” vs. “Bridesmaids,” “Single Ladies” vs. “Taken Ladies,” etc.
- Trick Shots & Bonuses: Award bonus points for trick shots like bouncing the ball off the wall or landing two in one cup. This adds a layer of strategy and excitement.
- Victory Cheers & Dares: The winning team gets to pick a victory dance or cheer. Make the losing team perform a silly dare or forfeit an item of clothing (think temporary party favors!)
Expert Tip:
- Start with Fewer Balls: Especially for a new group, 2 ping pong balls are easier to manage than 3. As everyone gets the hang of it, you can increase the difficulty.
- Plastic Cup Quality Matters: Flimsy cups will topple easily. Use sturdier plastic cups that can handle the impacts without collapsing.
- Keep it Lighthearted: This game is about fun and friendly competition, not getting wasted. Encourage cheers, playful trash talk, and plenty of breaks for snacks and rehydration.
