Alternative Drinking Game Rules for Non-Alcoholic Fun
Want to make the game family-friendly or keep it sober? Try these non-alcoholic alternatives to keep the game fun and inclusive!
- Swap Drinks for Snacks: Instead of drinking, players take a bite of a snack whenever a prompt comes up. This could mean mini Scooby Snacks (or cookies!), popcorn, or gummy candies for each iconic Scooby-Doo moment.
- Use Sips of Soda or Juice: Assign sips of soda, sparkling water, or juice for each cue. Each character trigger or catchphrase could mean a sip of juice or a fun mocktail, making it easy to enjoy without alcohol.
- Point System for Scooby Super Fans: Instead of drinks, keep score! Assign points for each prompt, and players tally them throughout the movie. At the end, the player with the most points wins a Scooby-themed prize, like a bag of Scooby Snacks or a small mystery prize box.
- Physical Challenges: Make it interactive by swapping drinks for lighthearted physical challenges, like standing up and saying “Jinkies!” or “Zoinks!” loudly every time a catchphrase prompt happens. This keeps everyone involved and makes each character moment a little sillier!
These non-alcoholic options allow everyone, including younger fans, to join in and enjoy a Scooby-Doo-themed night without missing out on the fun.
