Supernatural Drinking Game Core Rules

We’ve broken down the rules into two levels: Basic for those who are just starting, and Advanced for hardcore fans who know their lore inside out. Choose what feels right for your group—or mix and match for even more Supernatural fun!

Basic Rules for a Supernatural Drinking Game

These rules are ideal if you’re looking for a light-hearted, easy-to-follow game that lets you drink without constantly watching for cues.

  • Take a sip every time Dean says “son of a bitch.” Trust us, this alone will keep you busy.
  • Drink whenever someone says “family” or refers to “saving people, hunting things”—Supernatural’s unofficial motto.
  • Take a shot if a ghost, demon, or other supernatural entity is exorcised.
  • Sip every time Dean plays classic rock or references a band (extra sip if it’s AC/DC or Led Zeppelin).
  • Chug whenever a monster turns out to be just a human doing terrible things (the Supernatural version of Scooby-Doo).

Advanced Rules for Supernatural Fans

Now we’re entering serious fan territory. These rules are for the dedicated viewers who know their Crowley from their Castiel and live for every angel-demon twist.

  • Take a sip whenever Sam uses his serious research face or mentions going to the library.
  • Drink whenever Castiel tilts his head in confusion or asks an innocent question about humanity. Add a bonus sip if his “trench coat vibes” are particularly strong.
  • Sip whenever Dean brings up pie—or fails to get any!
  • Take two sips whenever the Impala (a.k.a. “Baby”) appears, gets damaged, or is lovingly washed.
  • Chug whenever a character is possessed by an angel, demon, or other being. This is peak Supernatural.
  • Finish your drink if someone dies…and then comes back to life (yep, it happens more than you’d think).

Some Supernatural episodes are legendary for their fourth-wall-breaking humor, intense drama, or character dynamics. Here are our top picks for episode-based rules to make certain scenes even more memorable.

Best Episodes for a Casual Drinking Game

For a relaxed vibe, here are some episodes filled with comedy, memorable lines, and fun twists.

  1. “The French Mistake” (Season 6, Episode 15) – This episode is a fan-favorite, where Sam and Dean enter an alternate reality where they are…Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Every time a character reacts to “real life,” take a sip. And if someone breaks the fourth wall, everyone chugs!
  2. “Bad Day at Black Rock” (Season 3, Episode 3) – This episode’s shenanigans make it a perfect choice for a lighter drinking game. Drink whenever someone mentions “rabbit’s foot” or Dean says “I’m Batman!”
  3. “Mystery Spot” (Season 3, Episode 11) – Sam relives the same day over and over, Groundhog Day-style. Every time Dean dies, everyone takes a drink. Yes, it happens more than once.

Episodes for Hardcore Supernatural Drinking Fans

For fans who want a more intense, drama-filled experience, here are some high-stakes episodes that will put your drinking stamina to the test.

  1. “Swan Song” (Season 5, Episode 22) – The Season 5 finale brings emotional moments, big fights, and more than a few gut punches. Drink every time Sam and Dean share a “brotherly” moment, and chug whenever an apocalypse-level event occurs.
  2. “Lazarus Rising” (Season 4, Episode 1) – Castiel’s first appearance! Take a drink whenever someone questions Castiel’s intentions or Dean tries to wrap his head around angelic powers. Finish your drink when Castiel says his iconic “I’m an angel of the Lord.”
  3. “All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2” (Season 2, Episode 22) – Packed with drama and intense battles, this episode is prime drinking game material. Drink every time a Winchester sheds a tear or there’s a plot twist.

“A Very Supernatural Christmas” (Season 3, Episode 8)

This episode is a holiday gem in the Supernatural universe, featuring Sam and Dean taking on the Pagan gods of Christmas while flashbacks reveal their bittersweet childhood holidays. Here are special rules just for this episode:

  • Take a sip every time:
    • Young Sam and Dean share a sweet holiday moment (young Sam always gets to us).
    • The holiday spirit feels threatened by something creepy or supernatural.
    • Dean says something funny or cynical about Christmas.
  • Take two sips if:
    • Someone references “The Christmas Spirit” right before things go wrong.
    • Dean calls Sam a Grinch for not wanting to celebrate (just one more drink if you relate).
  • Finish your drink if:
    • Someone in the episode gives or receives a meaningful Christmas present.
    • There’s a mention of Santa, real or otherwise.
    • The brothers exchange heartfelt words about family, loss, or their struggles.

Wild Supernatural Drinking Game Variations That’ll Get You Ganked

Turn your Supernatural drinking game into an unforgettable experience by adding these hilarious, character-themed twists and wild gameplay modes!

The Winchester Family Business Challenge

Channel your inner Winchester by picking a character role for each player: Sam, Dean, Castiel, or even Crowley! Each role has unique drinking prompts:

  • Sam: Take a sip every time someone mentions family, or whenever Dean gives you grief for being “the smart one.”
  • Dean: Drink when you make a sarcastic joke or roll your eyes at Sam’s explanations. Down a shot if you ever say, “Son of a bitch!”
  • Castiel: Drink whenever you tilt your head confusedly or declare something about humanity with wide-eyed wonder.
  • Crowley: Take a sip for every deal or manipulation in the episode. If anyone calls you the “King of Hell,” everyone drinks!

This role-play variation not only brings the characters to life but encourages players to interact and embody their quirks—perfect for long-time fans who know the Winchesters like the back of their hand.

Monster of the Week Mode

Each player randomly draws a “monster card” at the beginning of the game. The cards can represent classic Supernatural creatures (vampire, demon, ghost, shapeshifter, etc.), and every monster has special rules:

  • Vampire: Drink whenever someone talks about blood, life, or immortality.
  • Demon: Sip whenever a character exorcises a demon, mentions Hell, or shows black eyes.
  • Ghost: Take a drink whenever something spooky happens (strange noises, lights flickering).
  • Shapeshifter: Take two drinks every time a character sees something unusual in a mirror.

This keeps everyone on their toes, especially when supernatural creatures appear more often than expected. You might discover surprising Supernatural lore cues with each re-watch!

Sam’s Salad vs. Dean’s Burger

Sam and Dean have wildly different eating habits—so why not turn it into a drinking game? Before you start, declare yourself “Team Salad” (Sam) or “Team Burger” (Dean). Then:

  • Team Salad (Sam): Take a sip whenever Sam does something health-conscious, says something serious, or gets exasperated with Dean’s antics.
  • Team Burger (Dean): Drink whenever Dean eats something unhealthy, flirts, or makes a quip about Sam’s diet.
  • Special Rule: If Sam actually eats something unhealthy or Dean eats something green, everyone drinks!

This twist brings humor to Sam and Dean’s differences, making every food scene or brotherly spat a mini celebration.

Hunters’ Bootcamp

Consider this the ultimate training session for hunters-in-the-making. Every player earns “badges” by fulfilling certain drinking challenges:

  • EMF Expert: Take a drink whenever an EMF reader or salt appears.
  • Latin Scholar: Sip every time someone chants in Latin or mentions an exorcism.
  • Weapon Master: Drink whenever a new weapon appears, or someone mentions silver, holy water, or iron.
  • Lore Master: Drink twice if a character shares obscure supernatural lore.

Earn your “Hunter’s License” by completing every badge in one episode (finish your drink if you do!). This mode immerses fans into the hunter world, offering both the chance to learn new trivia and get “certified” as true fans of the Supernatural universe.

Hunter’s Drinking Kit: Essential Drinks and Pairings

Prepare your “Hunter’s Kit” with the perfect Supernatural-inspired drinks to enhance your game! These character-based pairings and themed cocktails will keep you in the spirit of the hunt.

  • Dean’s Demon Juice (Whiskey on the Rocks): Nothing says Dean Winchester like whiskey. Take a sip of this strong spirit each time Dean flashes a charming grin or punches a demon. Try a classic American bourbon to fully channel Dean’s tough-guy energy.
  • Sam’s Clean Conscience (Herbal Gin Tonic): For Sam’s health-conscious yet badass vibe, sip on an earthy gin and tonic infused with rosemary and lime. Drink when Sam gets philosophical or when he rolls his eyes at Dean’s greasy food choices.
  • The Crowley Classic (Dark & Mysterious): Just as complex as the King of Hell himself, this rum-based drink combines dark rum, a splash of cola, and a twist of lime. Sip when Crowley double-crosses someone or delivers his trademark sarcastic quips.
  • The “Angel’s Light” (Bright Gin Fizz): Channel Castiel’s celestial presence with a gin fizz mixed with elderflower liqueur and tonic water. Drink whenever Castiel gives someone a puzzled look or dives into a conversation about humanity’s quirks.
  • Rowena’s Witching Hour (Absinthe Cocktail): A tribute to the show’s sharp-witted witch, this absinthe-based drink is as bold and mysterious as Rowena. Sip this concoction when magical spells are cast or when Rowena makes an entrance that leaves everyone speechless.

Each drink brings a unique twist to the game and lets fans embrace their favorite character. Customize your drinking kit and pairings to make each toast a little toastier!

Supernatural Drinking Games Across the Fandoms

Why stick to one fandom when you can bring multiple worlds into your Supernatural drinking game? Here’s how to mix Supernatural with other iconic shows and add a bit of multi-fandom fun to your night.

  • Supernatural x Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Mix in some Slayer rules, like taking a drink whenever someone mentions vampires, or when any “Scooby Gang” vibe unfolds. If a Supernatural character uses a classic Buffy line like “I’ve got work to do,” everyone has to finish their drink!
  • Supernatural x Stranger Things: If anyone watches Supernatural and loves Stranger Things, try a drinking game crossover where you drink for any upside-down reality scenes, telekinesis (angels or psychics), or if a character takes on a father-figure role like Hopper or Dean.
  • Supernatural x The X-Files: This crossover theme is perfect for any “monster of the week” episode. Sip whenever there’s a government conspiracy mention, alien encounter, or if a character says “I want to believe.” If there’s an unexplained phenomenon, take an extra sip for good measure.
  • Supernatural x Doctor Who: For fans of both Supernatural and Doctor Who, this crossover adds an intergalactic, time-travel twist. Take a drink whenever a supernatural event feels like it could be straight out of the Doctor’s adventures. If a character’s monologue gets philosophical or destiny-related, raise your glass in true Doctor Who style!

This multi-fandom crossover adds variety to the classic Supernatural drinking game, letting fans celebrate the many worlds of the supernatural, sci-fi, and horror genre. It’s a perfect way to expand the game’s appeal and introduce fresh new challenges.

And there you have it—the ultimate guide to making your Supernatural drinking game an epic experience! Whether you’re playing solo, with friends, or joining in with other fans online, these rules, tips, and variations will keep you laughing, cheering, and (hopefully) rewatching until the very last “carry on.”
