If regular drinking games are appetizers, Chug Roulette is the main course of chaos. It’s unpredictable, fast, and comes with a guarantee that someone will end up regretting their choices before the night is over. The best part? No two games ever feel the same.

At its core, it’s simple: line up mystery drinks, spin to decide who’s chugging, and pray it’s not the glass filled with hot sauce and tequila. Half suspense, half entertainment, it’s the kind of game that keeps both players and onlookers on the edge of their seats (and phones out for content).

How to play Chug Roulette

Chug Roulette is all about surprise and stamina. Here’s how to get the drinks flowing and the chaos rolling.

1. Gather your setup

You’ll need a spinner or a roulette app, a handful of cups or shot glasses, and a mix of drinks — from tasty to terrifying.

2. Fill the drinks

Each cup gets something different: beer, soda, juice, vodka, pickle brine — the weirder, the better.

3. Set the circle

Arrange the filled cups around the spinner, making sure everyone has a drink in the rotation.

4. Spin to choose

Spin the wheel or tap the app, and whichever cup it points to is the one that must be chugged.

5. No swaps allowed

No sniffing, stalling, or trading. Once it lands on you, down it goes.

6. Keep the rotation going

After each spin, play continues clockwise — unless house rules say otherwise.

7. Last one standing

Play until people tap out, or until the drinks (or courage) run out.

Play

1. Make a spinner

Use a Twister spinner, a cardboard arrow, or even a phone app to randomize choices.

2. Cups instead of shots

Solo cups, mugs, or whatever you’ve got on hand can stand in as the mystery drinks.

3. Raid the kitchen

Grab random liquids from the fridge or pantry — ketchup, soy sauce, juice, seltzer — and mix with booze for extra chaos.

4. Theme it up

Turn it into “Brunch Roulette” with mimosas and vinegar, or “Horror Roulette” with spicy concoctions.

5. Keep a master list

Write down what’s in each cup somewhere secret, so you know what’s been unleashed when the time comes.

6. Add hype

Play music, set up lights, and get everyone cheering to raise the stakes.

Chug Roulette Rules

Sure, the base game is fun, but house rules are what turn a good chug roulette session into a legendary one.

1. Hesitation penalty

If you hesitate too long before drinking, you’re automatically up again.

2. Double spin

Land on a “punishment” marker and you have to chug two cups in a row.

3. Swap sabotage

Instead of drinking, you can swap your cup with another player — but only once per game.

4. Team play

Split into teams. If the spinner lands on you, your whole team drinks.

5. Spin again chaos

Add a “wild spin” option where whoever it lands on picks someone else to drink.

6. Clean-up clause

Whoever knocks over cups or spills has to do an extra spin as punishment.

Chug Roulette Versions

One of the best things about chug roulette is how easily it adapts. Different groups have invented spins on the game to fit their vibe.

1. Golf edition

Each cup is labeled like a golf hole (1–18), with themed drinks inside. Players “play through” the course spin by spin until someone survives the back nine.

2. Tailgate battles

Teams compete with their own set of drinks, turning pre-game into a head-to-head chugging showdown. Points are awarded for each successful chug.

3. Festival fever

Play under blacklights with neon-colored drinks and glow-in-the-dark cups. Add dance challenges or glow stick penalties for a rave-style spin.

4. Truth or chug

Mix in dares or questions. If you refuse to answer, you have to chug the mystery cup instead.

5. Blindfolded roulette

Players spin and drink without seeing what’s in their cup until it hits their taste buds. Perfect for chaos, terrible for dignity.
