How to Play

Drinking Spirit is a free pass-the-phone drinking game. No download, no sign-up, nothing to install. Add your players and you're already in.

The basics

One phone moves round the table, always to your left. Whoever's holding it reads the card out loud and resolves it on the spot: answer it, do it, or drink. Then they hold the pass button until it's the next person's turn. There's no scoreboard and no fixed length: you stop whenever the table's had enough.

What's in the deck

Every round pulls from a mix of card types, so the pace keeps shifting instead of repeating the same three prompts all night:

• Dares and confessions that put whoever's holding the phone on the spot
• Group challenges the whole table answers at once
• Quickfire trivia and chain rounds that go around until someone stalls
• Picture puzzles you race the clock to solve
• Standing rules that quietly run for a few turns after they're dealt
• Two-part sealed cards: pick something now, reveal it a turn later

House rules

A handful of table rules keep every session consistent: nothing ever costs more than a few sips, however the card's maths adds up. Any dare or reveal can be turned down for a drink instead. And you can drink anything you like. Water's always welcome at the table.

Getting started

It's built as a drinking game for 3 or more players sitting in a circle, not a two-player app, with one phone passed hand to hand. Drinking Spirit runs straight from your browser on any phone, so there's no app-store download and no account to make. Open it, add your table, and start.
