Group Chat Roulette, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Social Media & Internet Games · Players: 2+ · You’ll need: A phone; drinks

Scroll to a random point in an old group chat and read what you find. High risk, high comedy.

Setup: A volunteer opens a group chat they're in, ideally one that includes other people in the room. Ground rules first: the owner can veto any message, and nothing leaves the room.

How to play:

1. The owner scrolls back a random distance (someone else calls "stop") and reads the next 10 messages aloud, with feeling.
2. Sent an embarrassing message that gets read: the sender drinks (if they're present; if not, everyone drinks to their honor).
3. Typos and autocorrect disasters: a sip each.
4. The group dares the owner to send one new message to the chat: send it, or finish your drink.

Rotate to a new volunteer and a new chat each round.

Group Chat Roulette, Variations

• Word search: Search the chat for a chosen word (“sorry,” “drunk,” an ex's name) and read the top results.
• Time machine: Jump to exactly one year ago today and read forward.
• Guess the sender: The owner reads messages with names hidden; the room guesses who sent each, wrong guesses sip.
