5 Dirty Drunk Jenga Drinking Game

This version of Drunk Jenga is probably best to play at a White Lies party.

1. True of Dare. Truth or Dare can go in a wide variety of ways, all of them potentially scandalous.
2. Never Have I Ever. Much like Waterfall, Never Have I Ever is both a drinking game and a rule within a game. This inevitably devolves into some seedy conversation.
3. Two Truths and a Lie. Another spin on prying private information out of someone. Players must say three things with two of them being true and one a lie and the other players guess which is the lie.
4. Spin the Bottle. In this case, it's Spin the Jenga Block. Playing with this block instantly ratchets up Jenga's temperature.
5. Remove a piece of clothing. How do you turn up the heat on Spin the Bottle? You get rid of some clothes.
6. Random Text. Allow a player to send one random text to someone in your contacts. Terrifying, yet possibly liberating, this Jenga idea isn't for the feint of heart.

Knocking Down the Tower

There are two versions that we like to play with when playing Drunk Jenga (either clean or adult).

1. When the tower topples, the person who caused it finishes their drink.
2. Or, you can play it more like King's Cup where you put a punishment cup in the middle, play a handful or rounds of Drunk Jenga, and when, after 3-5 rounds, someone loses, they drink from the cup that the previous losers poured their drinks into.

We're big fans of option two, as it tends to prolong the fun a bit. Plus, the punishment cup is always a joy.
