When it comes to spicing up your next get-together, nothing beats the thrill of discovering a new drinking game. Whether you're hosting a party or just hanging out with friends, finding fresh drinking games to enjoy with your favorite drink is always a win. If you’re tired of the same old beer pong and flip cup, we’ve got you covered. Here are five insanely fun drinking games you’ve probably never heard of—until now.
1. Drinking Cornhole
You’ve probably played cornhole before, but Drinking Cornhole takes this backyard game classic to a whole new level. The rules are simple: each bag you toss has a specific prompt associated with it. If your bag lands on a certain spot, you follow the prompt—whether that’s taking a sip, making someone else drink, or performing a silly action. The unpredictability of the prompts keeps everyone on their toes, making it an exciting and hilarious twist on the traditional cornhole drinking game. Plus, it’s a great way to add a bit of friendly competition to your gathering.

2. Basketpong
Imagine combining the precision of basketball with the fun of beer pong, and you’ve got Basketpong. Instead of using cups and ping pong balls, this game involves shooting a basketball into a series of buckets arranged in a pyramid. Each time you sink a shot, your opponents have to drink—just like in beer pong. The challenge of shooting from a distance makes it all the more satisfying when you score, and the larger buckets mean there’s more room for creative and strategic play. If you’re looking for a game that’s both active and social, Basketpong is the perfect pick.

As you play, you’ll encounter a mix of lighthearted actions and heartfelt questions that encourage you to open up, laugh, and bond with your friends. It’s the ideal game for those nights when you want to go beyond the surface and create lasting memories. Whether you’re catching up with old friends or getting to know new ones, Friendsip has a way of bringing people closer together in a way that’s both fun and genuine.

4. Buzzed Tower
If you’ve ever played Jenga, you’ll quickly get the hang of Buzzed Tower. But this isn’t just any block-stacking game—it comes with a buzz-worthy twist. Each block in the tower has a different drinking rule written on it, and when you pull a block, you have to follow the rule before placing it on top. The tension builds as the tower grows taller, and the drinks start flowing as the blocks get harder to remove. But the real fun begins when the tower inevitably collapses—everyone drinks as a penalty, and the game resets for another round of tipsy excitement. Buzzed Tower is a surefire way to keep the energy high and the laughter going all night long.

5. Tipsy Ships
Last but not least, Tipsy Ships combines the strategy of Battleship with the excitement of beer pong. Players set up their “ships” (cups) on a grid, and then take turns trying to sink each other’s ships by landing a ping pong ball in the cups. When a ship is hit, the defending player has to drink. The game continues until one player’s entire fleet is sunk. Tipsy Ships is perfect for those who love a good head-to-head challenge, and it’s a great way to mix up your usual drinking game routine with something a little more strategic and competitive.
