Accent Game, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Party & Verbal Games · Players: 2+ · You’ll need: Drinks only

Everyone commits to an accent. Breaking character costs you.

Setup: Pick a round length (15–30 minutes) and let one player choose the accent, cowboy, posh British, pirate, surfer, whatever the group can attempt.

How to play:

1. For the whole round, every word anyone speaks must be in the accent, during games, small talk, ordering pizza, everything.
2. Slip into your normal voice and anyone can call it: drink 1 sip and re-enter character.
3. When the round ends, the next player picks a new accent.

Quality doesn't matter, commitment does. A terrible accent held bravely is the winning move.

Accent Game, Variations

• Accent roulette: Write accents on slips; draw a new one every 10 minutes without announcing it, others must guess what you've become.
• Switch on command: One player may shout “switch!” at any time, forcing an instant accent change mid-sentence.
• Commit or drink: The table may challenge a lazy accent; a failed re-attempt is 2 sips.
