Customizing Your Jersey Shore Drinking Game
Create Personalized Rules
Spice things up by adding your own rules:

- Chug your drink if anyone quits their job at the Shore Store.
Character Appearances and Actions

- The Situation: Drink whenever The Situation takes off his shirt or talks about his abs. It’s a situation you won’t want to miss.
- Pauly D: Every time Pauly D mentions his hair or DJing, take a sip. His hair game is strong, and so will be your drinking game.
Themed Jersey Shore Drinking Game Variations
1. The Meatball Marathon Challenge
Channel your inner Snooki and Deena with this meatball-inspired variation!
- Rule: Everyone must drink only from a red solo cup (classic Jersey Shore vibes).
- Wild Twist: Whenever Snooki says anything outrageous, you take a shot and then speak in her signature voice until someone else messes up and takes the next drink.
- Bonus Rule: If Deena calls herself a “blast in a glass,” everyone must yell “MEATBALL!” and drink twice.
2. GTL Gone Wild
This variation is all about the classic Jersey Shore mantra: Gym, Tan, Laundry.
- Rule:
- Whenever “GTL” is mentioned, strike a gym pose before drinking.
- If anyone forgets the pose, they have to chug.
- Wild Twist: Every time Pauly D’s tan is so orange it’s blinding, nominate someone to do a “laundry penalty” (fold a piece of clothing while holding their drink).
3. Karma Chaos Edition
Inspired by the gang’s favorite club, Karma, this version is all about the nightlife drama.
- Rule:
- Drink whenever someone dances awkwardly or fist-pumps offbeat.
- Take a shot every time someone mentions Karma.
- Wild Twist: Play with a strobe light on – whenever the light flashes, everyone freezes mid-dance with their drink until the next flash.
4. Duck Phone Shenanigans
Let’s pay homage to the infamous duck phone.
- Rule:
- Any time someone picks up the duck phone, quack like a duck before drinking.
- If a call leads to an argument, take a shot.
- Wild Twist: Keep a rubber duck as a prop. Whoever is holding the duck during an argument gets to assign drinks to the group.
5. Ronnie-Sammi Relationship Rollercoaster

- Rule:
- Take a sip every time they say “I’m done” (even though they’re not).
- Drink twice if one of them storms off.
- Wild Twist:
- Keep track of how many times they break up in one episode. The person who guesses correctly gets to skip a round of drJerinking penalties.
6. T-Shirt Time Relay
“T-Shirt Time” isn’t just a moment – it’s an event.
- Rule:
- Anytime someone says “T-shirt time,” race to find a random T-shirt and wear it over your current outfit. The last person to comply has to finish their drink.
- Wild Twist: Stack T-shirts throughout the game. By the end of the night, you might resemble Mike “The Situation” with a laundry basket on your head.
7. Grenade Alert! Survival Mode
Dealing with grenades just got a whole lot harder.
- Rule:
- If someone mentions a “grenade” or another unflattering descriptor, everyone drinks while shielding their face dramatically.
- If an actual fight happens because of a grenade comment, everyone chugs for 5 seconds.
- Wild Twist: Assign a “Grenade Captain” at the start. Their job is to spot grenades and yell, “Duck and cover!” Anyone who reacts too slowly takes an extra drink.
8. Pauly D’s DJ Dreamland
Inspired by Pauly D’s DJ skills, this one’s for the music lovers.
- Rule:
- Whenever the show cuts to Pauly D’s DJ booth, take a drink.
- If his hair stays perfect through an entire scene, everyone cheers and takes a shot.
- Wild Twist: Make a playlist of Pauly D-style bangers and assign a dance challenge after every shot. Awkward moves = extra drinks.
