Whether you’re a Nicholas Angel purist or a Danny Butterman groupie, this drinking game turns every ridiculous line and visual gag into a reason to raise your glass. It’s part fan celebration, part test of liver endurance, and all chaos.

Hot Fuzz Drinking Game Rules for Casual to Hardcore Fans
Whether you’re easing into the game or looking for a full-on NWA-style initiation, we’ve got you covered. Choose your level, grab a pint (or two), and prepare to drink for the greater good.

- “Morning Sergeant” is uttered
- You see the swan (yes, even if it’s in the background)
- Nicholas writes in his little notebook
- A quaint British phrase is used right before violence
Moderate Drinking Rules (Take Two Sips)
Ideal for veterans who know every joke before it lands but still cackle every time.

- Nicholas pulls out the photo of the Andes

Hardcore Mode (Finish Your Drink)
For the unhinged or the iron-livered. You’ve been warned.

- A full NWA meeting is shown
- Nicholas and Danny’s bromance feels one emotional moment away from a kiss
- A massive explosion happens in a completely unnecessary context
- The swan saves the day (yes, again)
Fan-Submitted Drinking Rules
The folks at r/HotFuzz have outdone themselves. Community rules add that extra layer of absurd specificity and are often the most hilarious additions.
- “Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?” triggers a group shot
- PC Walker speaks unintelligibly? Everyone drinks and tries to imitate him
- Nicholas gets promoted? Take a shot in celebration
- Eve laughs? Sip, and try not to spill your drink from laughing too
- Anyone claims a death was “an accident” while it clearly wasn’t? Down it
Fan-favorite idea: turn these into a randomized draw deck, so each player reveals new chaos every 10 minutes.

Tips for Hosting a Hot Fuzz Themed Party
Planning on turning this into an event worthy of a Sanford Summer Fête? Here’s how to do it right.
Decor and Atmosphere: Turn Your Living Room into Sanford
Go full West Country charm with sinister undertones.
- Neighborhood Watch Alliance bulletin board: Use red string, fake newspaper clippings, and ominous “accident” reports. Bonus: slap some NWA logos on clipboards.
- Creepy rural touches: Hang up paper roses, toy swans, and old-timey British bunting. Use wooden signs that say things like “Welcome to Sanford,” “No Loitering,” or “The Greater Good.”
- Fake CCTV cameras: For that surveillance-state feel. Make them out of cardboard tubes or plastic bottles if you’re crafty.
- Background music: Play the Hot Fuzz soundtrack or British pub classics between rounds (Queen, The Kinks, Dire Straits — you get it).
Want to go overboard? Ask a friend to dress as the Swan and silently wander the party.
Drinks & Snacks: For the Greater Good (of Your Stomach)
A Hot Fuzz party deserves more than just a 12-pack of lager. Here’s how to make it tastefully boozy and thematically on-brand.
Signature Cocktails:
- The Yarp Bomb: Jägermeister + cider chaser (not advised for the faint of heart)
- The Swan Dive: Gin, elderflower, lemon, and soda
- For the Greater Good: Dark rum, ginger beer, and lime
- Angel’s Justice: Vodka martini with a red licorice “nightstick” garnish
Alcohol-Free Options:
- The Fuzz-Free: Sparkling lemonade with fresh mint
- Danny’s Creamy Dreamy Shake: Vanilla milkshake with a Cornetto on the side
Snacks & Nibbles:
- Mini Cornish pasties or sausage rolls
- Fish & chip cones
- A cheeseboard labeled “evidence locker”
- Jelly babies in a blood-red bowl
- Cornettos (obviously — ideally chocolate ones)
Set up a “pub bar” area, and encourage guests to shout “A pint of lager, please!” in their worst West Country accent.
Dress Code: From the Met to the Local Pub
Encourage everyone to come in costume or dress in theme. Some options:
- Nicholas Angel: All black, sunglasses, and a scowl
- Danny Butterman: Baggy hoodie, pint in hand, toy badge
- Simon Skinner: Suit, red tie, fake mustache, evil glint
- The Swan: White clothes, beak mask, and silence
- NWA Members: Elderly chic with a sinister smile
Award a “Best Dressed in the Name of the Greater Good” prize — ideally a tiny golden swan.
Party Games & Activities (Aside from Drinking)
Don’t just watch. Play with the movie.
- Swan Hunt: Hide small plastic swans around the party space. Whoever finds the most gets to assign shots.
- Quote-Off Contest: Danny and Nicholas fans battle to quote the movie line-for-line until someone cracks.
- Obstacle Course Fence Jump: Create a mini indoor obstacle course and time each guest. Add bonus points if they can vault a couch in slow motion.
- Village Talent Show: Because no Hot Fuzz party is complete without amateur dramatics. Think haikus, awkward sword fights, or terrible renditions of Romeo & Juliet.
From Hot Fuzz to Fuzzy Duck: Boozy British Chaos
So you’ve played every “Yarp” rule, finished the bingo, and someone just tried to reenact the supermarket shootout with a loaf of bread. You could end the night there… or you could embrace the Fuzzy Duck drinking game — the chaotic, slurred cousin to Simon Skinner’s diction.
This classic British wordplay drinking game is simple in concept, but brutal in execution — especially when your brain is already three pints deep and trying to remember which swan was last seen where.
How to Play Fuzzy Duck Game
Setup:
- Everyone sits in a circle. One person starts by saying “Fuzzy Duck” to the person on their left.
- That person either says “Fuzzy Duck” to their left, or reverses direction by saying “Ducky Fuzz” to their right.
But Here’s the Catch:
- If someone messes up the phrase, hesitates, or accidentally says something inappropriate (which will happen — “does he?” becomes “duz ‘e…”, and well… you’ll see), they drink.
- The faster you go, the more chaotic and hilarious it gets.
Pro tips for extra chaos:
- Add a timer for each round — no more than 2 seconds to respond.
- Anyone who says “Yarp” automatically drinks and resets the round.
Why It’s a Perfect Fit for a Hot Fuzz Night:
- The accidental innuendos? Check.
- The British-ness? Over 9000.
- The high-stakes repetition under pressure? Feels exactly like trying to explain to Danny Butterman how paperwork works.
- It doubles as a sobering reminder of why Nicholas Angel doesn’t have time for games… but you do.
End your party with this game as the final gauntlet — a last test of sobriety, wit, and tongue coordination. Winner gets the Golden Swan Trophy (or, more realistically, the last Cornetto in the box).
Safety & Alternatives: Because the Real “Accidents” Aren’t Funny
Let’s not turn this party into a crime scene. A good time doesn’t require a blackout memory or swan-related injuries.
- Designated Swan (a.k.a. Sober Host): Put someone in charge of hydration, food, and ride coordination.
- Hydration Station: Mark it clearly and stock it with water, soda, and snacks.
- Mocktail Menu: Just because someone isn’t drinking doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a hilariously named beverage.
- Create a Chill-Out Room: Somewhere people can sit, take a breather, or quote the entire supermarket shootout sequence in peace.
A Hot Fuzz themed party done right is a fever dream of small-town weirdness, film geek joy, and alcohol-fueled laughter. Dress up, get creative, and remember: if anyone asks why you’re doing all this, just whisper… “It’s for the greater good.”
