30+ Virtual Drinking Games That Will Slay Your Party Night

If you’ve ever clinked a glass to your webcam and said, “Cheers!” to a screen full of tipsy friends, welcome to the weird and wonderful world of virtual drinking games. Whether you’re long-distance partying, navigating awkward virtual happy hours, or just need an excuse to drink in pajamas, these online games are your new social saviors. Ready to turn your screen time into buzz time? Let’s dive in.

7 Classic Drinking Games You Can Play Online

Let’s kick it old-school but make it Zoom-friendly.

1. Never Have I Ever – Zoom Edition

A timeless gem. Everyone takes turns saying something they’ve never done, and anyone who has done it drinks. Keep it spicy, keep it honest. Bonus: It doubles as a low-key background check.

2. Power Hour via YouTube Playlists

This one’s for the brave. Find a Power Hour playlist (1-minute song snippets) on YouTube. You take a sip every time the song changes. You won’t notice at minute 5. You will at minute 45.

3. Truth or Drink – FaceTime Friendly

Ask a tough question. If they answer, cool. If they skip? They drink. It’s like “Truth or Dare” for people without enough floor space to dare anything.

4. Most Likely To – Crowd Fave for Big Groups

Throw out a “Who’s most likely to… crash a wedding?” Everyone points (digitally or IRL), and the majority-voted person drinks. Brutally revealing. Often hilarious.

5. Charades – Boozy Version

Split into teams on Zoom, use a charades word generator, and go. The twist? The losing team drinks. Add categories like “Drunk Thoughts” or “Bad Life Choices” for bonus laughs.

6. Cards Against Humanity – Virtual Degenerates Edition

Dark humor meets digital chaos. Use a free online version like All Bad Cards to deal out the dirty. Each round, a player picks the best (or worst) response card, and the winner assigns a drink. If your card wins twice in a row? You take a shot. It’s the internet, nothing’s off-limits.

7. Shotgun Roulette – High Stakes, Low Effort

Pure chaos in a can. Everyone numbers their drinks (or mystery cups). Spin a virtual wheel to pick who drinks. The catch? One drink’s a shot, one’s something gross, one might be water. Total luck of the draw. Suspenseful, ridiculous, and possibly disgusting.

Free-to-Use Drinking Game Prompts

Need to spice things up mid-game? Use these anytime, anywhere:

Never Have I Ever Prompts:

• Never have I ever lied about being sick to cancel plans.
• Never have I ever texted an ex while drunk.
• Never have I ever stalked someone’s Instagram for over 30 minutes.

Truth or Drink Prompts:

• What’s the biggest secret you’ve kept from your best friend?

• What’s the most illegal thing you’ve ever done?

Most Likely To Prompts:

• Most likely to get kicked out of a bar.
• Most likely to marry for money.
• Most likely to forget they’re still on mute while talking trash.

Bonus Category – “Drink If…” Quickfire:

• Drink if you’re wearing sweatpants right now.
• Drink if you’ve ever been ghosted.
• Drink if you’ve rewatched a childhood cartoon recently.

Virtual Drinking Games for Couples, Coworkers, and Chaos Agents

Whether you’re sipping wine with your sweetheart, navigating a buzz-friendly Zoom with coworkers, or letting loose with your most unhinged friends, the virtual drinking game vibe must match the crowd. So we’ve broken it down for maximum effect, with fresh, inspired takes—where the games are bold, unexpected, and gloriously chaotic.

For Couples: Love, Laughter & Light Buzzes

You’re two drinks in, cozy on the couch, and ready to lovingly roast each other. These couple drinking games turn up the heat and the laughs—no emergency relationship counselor required.

8. Sip or Strip: Relationship Edition

Vibe: Flirty with a side of blackmail
Each person takes turns asking romantic or risqué questions—like “Have you ever lied to me?” or “What’s my most annoying habit?”

• Answer truthfully? You’re safe.
• Refuse or lie? Take a drink… or remove an item of clothing.
  It’s like “Truth or Drink” but with higher stakes and fewer pants.

9. Rom-Com Scene Reenactments

Vibe: Silly, dramatic, Oscar-worthy
Pick iconic movie scenes (“You had me at hello,” “It’s not you, it’s me”), then reenact them as each other.

• Best performance wins immunity for a round.
• Worst one drinks—and may get cast in your couple’s next fight.

10. Emoji Charades: Lovers’ Edition

Vibe: Absurd, chaotic, surprisingly revealing
One partner sends three random emojis. The other has to act out the meaning.

• If guessed right: assign drinks.
• Guessed wrong: take a big gulp, and try to explain what the heck that was.

For Coworkers: SFW(ish) Sips Without the HR Reports

Office Zoom calls are awkward enough. But these games bring just enough buzz to keep things fun and still technically professional.

11. “Corporate Buzzword Bingo”

Vibe: Office-core, passive-aggressive, hilariously
Make a bingo card of phrases like:

• “Circle back”
• “Let’s table this”
• “Synergy”
  Every time someone says one, take a sip.
  Get 5 in a row? Everyone else drinks while you raise your imaginary Employee of the Month trophy.

12. Passive-Aggressive Pictionary

Vibe: Petty, unhinged, artistically questionable
Draw ridiculous office scenarios (like “Karen microwaving fish” or “Jim stealing staplers”) and have your team guess them via screen-share.

• Guessed right? You assign the drink.
• Guessed wrong? You drink for your lack of artistic integrity.

13. Reply All Roulette

Vibe: Cringe-core, confessional, HR-adjacent
Each person tells a story of the worst email they’ve sent—or nearly sent—to the wrong person.

• Story too tame? Drink.
• Best/worst story? Everyone else drinks to dull the secondhand embarrassment.

For Chaos Agents: Wild Friends, Loud Laughs, and No Survivors

These games are for the group chat that should probably be shut down. High energy, low rules, and totally inspired by DrinkPlayground’s off-the-wall formats.

14. Spin, Guzzle, Regret

Vibe: Unfiltered, unhinged, zero dignity
Use an online spinner filled with absurd commands like:

• “Give your best dramatic Gloria rant (Modern Family-style)”
• “Make a toast to your ex”
• “Do a shot and DM your crush ‘wyd’”
  Whatever it lands on, you do it—or double the drink.

15. Chaos Cards: DIY Edition

Vibe: Mad-lib mayhem, daredevil energy, group chat gone rogue
Each player writes down 5 ridiculous dares or drink penalties before the game starts. Shuffle them up in a random generator or hat.

• Every round, draw a card.
• Refuse? Double drink.
• Succeed? Assign drinks with dramatic flair.
  Sample dares: “Create a Zoom background of your last breakup,” “Speak only in song lyrics,” “Do a TikTok dance for 30 seconds.”

16. Scream & Sip Showdown

Vibe: Pure anarchy
Choose random categories (e.g. “Ways to get fired,” “Terrible Tinder bios,” “Weird sandwich fillings”).
Players go around rapidly naming answers. Stumble, repeat, or pause too long? You scream into a pillow and take a drink.
Last one standing? They assign shots like a benevolent yet unstable monarch.

Fresh and Wild Virtual Drinking Games for Any Group Size

17. Last Tab Standing

Vibe: Multitasking meltdown

What You Need: A browser, nerves of steel

Warning: Your laptop may overheat from the stress of playing this game. So will your brain.

Bonus Chaos Rule: Add “My Heart Will Go On” or “WAP” into the mix. Whoever gets either assigned to them drinks twice and must do a dramatic reenactment.

22. Reverse Uno: Therapy Edition

23. Caption That Cry for Help

Vibe: Instagram meets intervention
Players: 3+
What You Need: Your Insta feed, or a brave heart

• Best caption = assign drinks.
• Worst caption = perform it dramatically, then drink.
• Bonus: Add hashtags like #blessed #wanderlust #liveauthentic

24. Name That Vibe

Vibe: Meme energy in human form
Players: 4+
What You Need: Imagination and total nonsense

How to Play:
Someone describes a fake situation (e.g., “You’ve just walked into a wedding wearing Crocs and holding a rotisserie chicken.”)
Others must:

• Give that moment a name (“The Rotisserie Reckoning”)
• Pick a song that would be playing
• Assign a drink that matches the vibe

Whoever comes up with the best combo is the “Vibe Master” and can assign a group toast. Worst entry? They drink and take a selfie in character.

Drinking Games on Zoom Without Cards or Props

Not everyone has a deck of cards or a novelty shot glass collection ready at arm’s length. But what you do have is a webcam, some friends, and a high tolerance for chaos. These games require zero physical supplies—just a screen, your drink of choice, and your willingness to embarrass yourself in front of people you allegedly like.

Get ready to drink your dignity away, one awkward moment at a time.

25. Zoom Background Trigger Game

How it works:
Before the game, everyone sets a weird custom Zoom background. Think cursed memes, childhood photos, or a stock image of Guy Fieri in space.

• Every time someone notices or comments on a background? They drink.
  
• If your background is just too weird to ignore? You drink, too—for being extra.

Pro Tip: If someone uses a background from Modern Family, The Office, or Nicolas Cage’s face, everyone sips in synchronized appreciation.

26. Screenshot Bingo

How it works:
Before the call, each player makes a bingo card filled with common Zoom experiences, like:

• “Someone forgets to unmute”
• “Dog barks in background”
• “Awkward silence”
• “Someone takes a bathroom break without muting”
  As the chaos unfolds, mark your squares.

Get a full row?
Yell “Bingo!” like you’re in a church basement. Everyone else drinks.
Get black-out (the card, not yourself)?
You assign a truth or dare to the group.

Make it wilder: Add custom squares like “Phil from Modern Family reference” or “Accidental screen share.”

27. Mute Roulette

How it works:
Every few minutes, someone randomly hits mute and tries to mime a sentence or phrase. Everyone else has to guess what they’re saying.

Wrong guesses = drink.
Right guess = assign a drink.
Total gibberish? Double shot for the mime.

Themes to try: Drunk karaoke lyrics, movie quotes, or badly reenacted TV scenes. This turns into a performance art piece pretty quickly.

28. The Alphabet Toast-Off

How it works:
Everyone takes turns giving a toast, but each toast must start with the next letter of the alphabet.

• “A is for alcohol, the glue of this friendship!”
• “B is for bad decisions and beautiful regrets…”
  And so on.

Mess up the letter? Take a drink.
Nail a poetic line? Others must toast to you.

Optional chaos rule: If someone uses “Q,” they automatically win the game. Because what even rhymes with “quarantine”?

29. Zoom Oscars: Scene Stealers Edition

How it works:
Each player picks a dramatic scene from a movie or show. But instead of acting it out normally, you must deliver it as if you’re:

• A drunk pirate
• A sleep-deprived barista
• A TikTok star with a ring light
• Or any random persona the group assigns

Best performance = immunity. Worst = must do a shot and give an emotional acceptance speech thanking your cat.

30. Guess the Lie (While Sipping)

How it works:
It’s “Two Truths and a Lie” but with drinks on the line.

• Each person tells three statements.
• Everyone guesses which is the lie.
• Guess wrong? You drink.
• Fool everyone? They all drink.

Add spice: Make the truths embarrassing and the lie almost believable. Example:

• “I once got banned from Chuck E. Cheese.”
• “I kissed someone in a chicken costume.”
• “I know how to juggle bowling pins.”

Bet you still pick wrong.

31. The Last Word

How it works:
Pick a category like “types of cheese” or “TV characters with one syllable names.”
Everyone goes around naming something in that category.

• Stumble, repeat, or hesitate? Drink.
• Last one standing = category master and assigns three drinks.

Make it spicy: Pick bizarre categories like “Ways to get kicked out of Target” or “Songs you pretend you hate but secretly love.”

These card-free, prop-free games prove that you don’t need a deck of Kings or red solo cups to get buzzed and belly-laughing. Just your voice, your webcam, and a few people who won’t judge you for yelling “Bingo!” in your pajamas.

Hosting a Virtual Drinking Game Night That Doesn’t Flop

• Set a start and end time (ish)
• Use a fun playlist for background noise
• Establish drinking rules up front
• Choose a host to lead the chaos
• Don’t forget bathroom breaks—and snacks

Sober-Friendly Versions and Hydration Heroes

Not everyone wants to booze it up, and that’s cool. Try:

• “Dance for 15 seconds” instead of drinking
• “Tell your most awkward story”
• “Wear a ridiculous hat for one round”

Make sure your game night’s inclusive—and hilarious—for everyone.
