How to Host An Ultimate White Lotus Party Game
Watching The White Lotus is an experience—so why not make it a full-blown luxury party game? If you want to fully immerse yourself in the rich-people chaos, follow these party ideas to transform your home into a White Lotus resort (minus the dead bodies).
Step 1: Set the Scene – Turn Your Place into The White Lotus
- Themed Welcome Drinks: Greet your guests with a “complimentary cocktail” (just like a real resort—except yours is much stronger).
- Fancy Décor (With a Touch of Chaos): Lay out fluffy white towels, light a few overpriced candles, and scatter some passive-aggressive notes around the room (“Don’t forget to Venmo me for this, sweetie.”).
- Play the White Lotus Theme Song… On Loop: Make it impossible to ignore—because let’s be real, it slaps.
Step 2: Dress Code – Come as Your Favorite White Lotus Character
Encourage guests to fully commit to a White Lotus-inspired outfit. Bonus points for staying in character all night.
👒 Tanya: Extra-large sunglasses, a floral dress, and absolute delusion.
🕶 Harper: All black, subtle judgmental stares, wine glass in hand.
🍹 Cameron: Unbuttoned linen shirt, reckless energy, zero morals.
💰 Shane: Polo shirt, privilege, and an air of entitlement.

White Lotus-Themed Cocktails: What to Drink for Each Character
Want to get really into the spirit of The White Lotus? Try these themed drinks:
- Tanya’s Martini – Strong, slightly messy, and potentially disastrous. (Vodka, vermouth, and a hint of self-delusion.)
- The Sicilian Affair – Inspired by Season 2, this cocktail mixes Italian Amaro with fresh citrus.
- The Privilege Punch – A tropical rum punch, because nothing says rich people on vacation like day drinking.
- The Mocktail Lotus – A fancy non-alcoholic drink, because hydration is sexy.
- The Harper Negroni – A classic, but served with a side of judgment.
- The Cameron Piña Colada – Tropical, way too much rum, zero regrets.
- The Shane Champagne Tower – Expensive, unnecessary, and likely to end in a tantrum.
- The Portia Mystery Drink – No one really knows what’s in it… including you. (Make it up as you go.)
Bonus: If your drink matches the energy of the scene you’re watching, you get to assign a drink to another player.
Which White Lotus Character Are You? (Based on Drinking Habits)
Take this highly scientific (not really) quiz to find out who you are in the White Lotus universe—based solely on your drinking choices.
Question 1: What’s your go-to drink?
🍸 A. Martini (Sophisticated, unhinged, and possibly in danger.)
🍷 B. Red Wine (You’re a silent observer—judging everyone.)
🍹 C. Piña Colada (You have no clue what’s going on, but you’re vibing.)
🍾 D. Champagne (You are very extra, and you know it.)
Question 2: How do you behave when drunk?
A. Spill your entire life story to a stranger.
B. Argue about something you swear isn’t a big deal.
C. Accidentally third-wheel someone else’s relationship.
D. Disappear mysteriously for hours and return with no explanation.
Your Results:
- Mostly A’s: Tanya – You’re chaotic, unpredictable, and somehow still the main character.
- Mostly B’s: Harper – You sit back, analyze everything, and throw out deadpan sarcasm.
- Mostly C’s: Cameron – You’re here for a good time, not a long time (and probably pushing your limits).
- Mostly D’s: Armond – You start off with control… but we all know how this ends.
Wild & Unhinged Variations for White Lotus
So, you think you’ve mastered the White Lotus drinking game? Think again. It’s time to take things up a notch with hilariously chaotic variations that will test your endurance, sanity, and ability to keep a straight face while watching rich people self-destruct in paradise.
1. The Tanya McQuoid Memorial Drinking Game (a.k.a. “What Would Tanya Do?”)
In honor of the most iconic character in White Lotus history, you must channel your inner Tanya McQuoid throughout the game.
Rules:
- Talk like Tanya – Every time you say something, it must be in her signature breathy, confused voice. If you forget, take a sip.
- Diva Behavior – If someone hands you a drink, refuse it unless it’s presented properly (i.e., with dramatic flair). Otherwise, you drink.
- Tanya’s Fate Rule – If someone falls over, spills their drink, or gets too emotional, they must finish their drink in honor of her legacy.
- Spiritual Crisis Moment – Pause the game and dramatically whisper: “These gays… they’re trying to murder me.” The last person to do it takes a penalty drink.
2. The “Rich People Problems” Challenge
Throughout the episode, every player adopts the mindset of a White Lotus guest. Anytime you hear rich people whining, play along—while drinking, of course.
Rules:
- Complain About Something Stupid – If a character whines about a non-problem (e.g., “Ugh, this yacht is too small”), take a sip and dramatically sigh like it’s the end of the world.
- Make a Power Move – Interrupt another player mid-sentence with something completely irrelevant (just like Cameron does). They must drink.
- Summon a Server – Yell “EXCUSE ME?!” like you’re demanding five-star service. The last person to do it finishes their drink.
- Brag About Your Wealth – Casually mention something you definitely don’t have (e.g., “My trust fund has been soooo exhausting lately”). If you break character, you drink.
3. The “Sex, Lies, & Sicilian Side Quests” Mode
White Lotus is known for its juicy affairs, seductive schemes, and ethically questionable “romantic” entanglements. In this mode, you play along with the messiness—while trying to survive the game.
Rules:
- Drink Whenever Someone’s Marriage is Questionable – If two characters are clearly unhappy together (but still insist they’re fine), sip and shake your head in disapproval.
- Cheating Clause – If an affair is even hinted at, take a penalty drink and dramatically whisper, “This is a disaster.”
- Flirty Eye Contact – If two characters make lingering eye contact, make eye contact with another player and both take a gulp.
- Messy Hookups Rule – If someone sleeps with someone they absolutely should not, laugh maniacally and chug your drink.
4. The “White Lotus: Mafia Edition”
One player is secretly assigned as the “killer” before the game begins. The goal? Survive the season without getting “eliminated.”
Rules:
- Every Episode, Someone Must “Die” – At the beginning of an episode, all players secretly vote on who they think won’t “make it” to the end. That player takes a drink and must play the rest of the episode dramatically.
- Fake Your Own Death – If you can convincingly fake your “elimination” (e.g., pretend to pass out, fall off the couch, dramatically clutch your heart), you can swap drinks with another player.
- The Ultimate Twist – If someone is actually eliminated from the game, everyone chugs their drink in honor of their tragic fate.
There you have it—four more ways to turn your White Lotus drinking game into a full-blown experience. From luxury-themed watch parties to wild challenges, the only question left is: will you make it to the finale?
