Party time activities: Top games for upcoming college soiree
=========================================================
From the classic Kings Cup to modern party games like the piccolo app, drinking games have long been a staple of social gatherings, creating a relaxed atmosphere and fostering memorable experiences. Here's a breakdown of some popular party games that cater to various preferences.
Kings Cup
Kings Cup is a card-based drinking game that requires a deck of 52 cards and a large cup. Each card corresponds to a specific rule or action that players must follow. Here are the common rules associated with each card:
- Ace: Waterfall — everyone starts drinking, and no one can stop until the person before them stops.
- 2: "For You" — choose someone to take a drink.
- 3: "For Me" — the drawer takes a drink.
- 4: Touch the floor — the last player to touch the floor drinks.
- 5: Guys — all male players drink.
- 6: Chicks — all female players drink.
- 7: Heaven — the last player to raise their hands drinks.
- 8: Mate — pick a buddy who drinks whenever you do.
- 9: Bust a Rhyme — pick a word, and players must rhyme it or drink.
- 10: Categories — pick a category; players must name something in it or drink.
- Jack: Make a Rule — create a new rule that lasts the rest of the game.
- Queen: Question Master — if the Question Master asks you a question and you respond incorrectly or at the wrong time, you drink.
- King: Pour some of your drink into the King's Cup placed in the center; the player who draws the last King drinks the entire cup, ending the game.
Some optional or variant rules include preventing breaks in the circle of cards, adding fun commands like "Gecko" or "Grenade" where players race to perform actions or risk drinking, and "Never break the circle" — if you break the ring of cards, you drink.
Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever is a game that requires a drink for each participant and is similar to Truth or Dare, popular among students. Players take turns asking questions, and those who have done the stated action must drink.
Flunky Ball
Flunky Ball is a summer party game that requires a 1.5-liter bottle, a ball, and beer for each player. Players take turns trying to knock over the bottle in the center, and the losing team must drink.
Suck and Blow
Suck and Blow is a simple game that requires only one card and involves passing the card around a circle without it falling. If the card falls, the players who drop it must drink and kiss or perform a pre-agreed task.
Jenga
Jenga, a game that requires preparation, including writing tasks on every block, and building a tower according to instructions, is another popular party game. Players take turns pulling out bricks, completing the task, and replacing the brick in the tower. If the Jenga tower tips over, the game ends. The tasks can include drinking, removing clothing, or skipping certain players in future rounds.
The piccolo app
The piccolo app offers various game modes, including Pre Party, Dirty, and Crazy, to cater to different preferences. The app generates tasks for participants based on the chosen game mode.
Beer Pong
Beer Pong is a drinking game that requires cups, table tennis balls, a table, and beer or another drink. The game is played with two teams, each taking turns aiming at cups of the opposing team. If a ball lands in a cup, the opponents must empty that cup, and the other team gets another turn.
