Spy Kids Drinking Game Rules: The Core Version
So you’ve gathered your crew, queued up Spy Kids on your streaming service of choice, and you’re ready to descend into chaos. Here’s the base version of the Spy Kids drinking game. Adjust your beverage volume according to your liver’s courage.
Before You Start: What You’ll Need
- Your drink of choice (alcoholic or mocktail—no judgment)
- Spy Kids (start with the original)
- Optional: themed snacks, costumes, and a safe space to yell “FLOOP IS A MADMAN!”
Take a Sip When…
- Juni complains about something
- Carmen talks like she’s 40 years old
- Someone says “spy” or “kids”
- A gadget appears that would immediately be banned by the FDA
- Floop speaks like a misunderstood Shakespeare villain
Take a Big Gulp When…
- Thumb Thumbs make their creepy entrance
- Spy kids suddenly know martial arts
- One-liners are dropped with zero context
- The Cortez parents get captured (again)
Finish Your Drink If…
- Someone says something profound… and it’s actually from Floop
- Tony Shalhoub shows up and you forgot he was even in this
- The villain becomes good in a totally unearned twist
- You understand the plot of Spy Kids 3D without needing subtitles or medication
Drinking Game Variations by Spy Kids Movie
Spy Kids 1: OG Nostalgia Edition
This is where it all began. The weirdest and most grounded of the trilogy (and that’s saying something).
Bonus Rules:
- Take a sip for every time Carmen tries to ditch Juni
- Gulp when their backpack does something no real-world bag should
- Finish your drink when Floop redeems himself with a heartfelt speech no child should be able to understand
Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Plotlines
This movie asks, “What if Steve Irwin directed Jurassic Park… while drunk?” Expect mutant animals, extended sibling bickering, and Danny Trejo in a family movie.
Bonus Rules:
- Sip when a creature defies biology
- Gulp every time a spy gadget malfunctions
- Finish your drink if Grandpa shows up in a flying wheelchair
Spy Kids 3D: Game Over (and Sober Over)
This movie was less of a film and more of an excuse to throw 3D goggles at kids and hope for the best.
Bonus Rules:
- Sip for every instance of “the game”
- Gulp when a cameo feels completely out of place (Elijah Wood, anyone?)
- Finish your drink if you actually understand what Frodo’s doing here
Spy Kids 4 & Netflix Reboot: If You Dare
This one’s for the completionists or the reckless. Enter at your own risk.
Rules:
- Sip if you say out loud, “Wait, they made more of these?”
- Gulp every time the new kids copy the OGs
- Finish your drink when you admit Jessica Alba deserved better
How to Throw a Spy Kids–Inspired Bash
Why stop at the movie? Go full-throttle nostalgia by throwing a Spy Kids-themed party.
Dress the Part
- Dig through closets for fake leather, goggles, or anything that says “early 2000s spy aesthetic”
- Bonus points for anyone who comes as a Thumb Thumb
Spy-Inspired Cocktails
- “Floop Juice” – neon blue drink with questionable ingredients
- “Carmenita Margarita” – for the bold and spicy
- “Juni Jello Shots” – every bit as squishy and awkward as his character arc
2000s Playlist Breaks
Blast music like Blue (Da Ba Dee), Sk8er Boi, and Crazy Frog. Yes, it’s cursed. That’s the point.

Spy Kids Drinking Game: Nostalgia, Chaos, and Sip Responsibly
As much fun as this game is, let’s not actually relive our childhoods by needing adult supervision.
- Set a drink limit per hour
- Hydrate between scenes
- Make sure at least one person is the designated Gregorio Cortez of the group—calm, rational, and preferably not tied to a chair by evil thumbs
If alcohol’s not your thing, use soda, juice, or that weird green drink you found at the back of your fridge.
