Karaoke Drinking Game, Drinking Game Rules

Category: Music Games · Players: 2+ · You’ll need: Drinks; karaoke setup

Karaoke night with consequences for cowardice and flubbed lines.

Setup: Any karaoke setup, an app, a console game, or lyrics on a TV with a brave singer. Everyone gets a song in the queue.

How to play:

1. When it's your song, sing it. Every line you visibly flub, miss, or mumble through: take a sip (the audience keeps count, gleefully).
2. Every chorus: the whole room drinks together, audience included.
3. Refusing your turn at the mic costs a full chug, singing badly is always cheaper than not singing.

Optional scoring: if your setup scores performances, lowest score of the night finishes their drink.

Karaoke Drinking Game, Variations

• Duet draw: Partners are drawn from a hat; the pair shares all penalties.
• Judge's table: Three rotating judges score each performance 1–10; the nightly low scorer finishes their drink, the high scorer assigns one.
• Song sabotage: Everyone queues a song for the person to their left, you sing what you're given.
