2. Mexican Dice (a.k.a. “Mexico”)

A popular bluffing and drinking dice game, Mexican Dice uses two dice and a lot of acting skills.

Each player rolls the dice in a cup and peeks at their result without showing others.

They then declare a score (either truthfully or by bluffing). The next player can either believe it and try to beat it, or call the bluff.

If the bluff is caught — the liar drinks. If the bluff stands and the next player can’t beat it — they drink!

The game escalates quickly and is full of laughs, especially when someone swears they got a “Mexico” (a 2 and a 1 — the highest combo).

3. Drunk Dice Challenge

This is a DIY-style drinking dice game with a twist — you make your own rules.

Label each number on a six-sided die with a different mini drinking challenge. For example:

1. Take a sip

2. Swap drinks with someone

3. Tell a secret

4. Pass

5. Choose someone to drink

6. Take a shot

Take turns rolling the dice and completing the challenge. Simple, fast, and customizable.

Pro Tip: If you have two dice, roll both and combine for even wilder combos!

4. Sixes

This is a game of chance and quick sips.

Everyone sits in a circle. One player rolls a die. If they roll a 6, they assign a drink to someone. If not, it moves to the next person.

To spice it up, assign different drinks or mini-games to each number, making 6 the wild card.

Great for pre-games or as a warm-up game while everyone gets into party mode.

5. Sevens, Elevens, Doubles

This fast-paced drinking dice game is a party classic.

Two players roll two dice. If the total is a 7, 11, or doubles, the “shooter” chooses someone to drink.

If the roller doesn’t roll one of those, the next player grabs the dice and tries.

The catch: the dice must be rolled quickly — if you delay, you drink.

Fast hands and fast drinks make this one intense and hilarious.

6. 21 with Dice

A fast-paced drinking version of blackjack using dice.

Each player tries to get as close to 21 as possible without going over by rolling dice one at a time.

You can stop rolling whenever you want.

If you go over 21, you drink.

Closest to 21 chooses someone else to drink.

Add spice: if someone rolls a perfect 21, everyone else drinks!

7. King’s Dice

If you love King’s Cup, this is a simplified, dice-based version.

Each number represents a card in King’s Cup. Roll a die, and:

1: “Waterfall”

2: “You” (choose someone to drink)

3: “Me” (you drink)

4: “Floor”

5: “Guys”

6: “Girls”

You can adapt or add rules as you go. No cards needed — just dice and a party crew!

8. Higher or Lower Dice

Quick and suspenseful:

Roll one die.

Guess if the next die will be higher or lower.

Get it right? You're safe.

Get it wrong? Drink.

You can keep streaks and penalties going to spice it up.

9. Dice Poker

Roll five dice and try to get the best “hand” like in poker. Combine with card challenges (e.g. red card = drink, black = give).

10. Beat That!

This one is a simple and competitive game where luck meets quick math.

Each player rolls two dice and tries to make the highest two-digit number possible.

For example, if you roll a 4 and a 6, your number is 64.

Everyone rolls, and the person with the lowest number drinks!

Add a twist: if someone rolls a double (e.g. 5-5), they get to pick who drinks.

11. Pyramid Dice

Inspired by the card game Pyramid, but played with dice:

Arrange cups in a pyramid shape 

Players roll one die. Based on the number, they must remove that amount of cups from the pyramid (e.g. roll a 3 → remove 3 cups).

Whoever removes the last cup must take a shot (or do a big challenge)!

You can also play this with Jenga.

12. Dice Duel Trivia

Combine brains and booze!

Prepare 6 categories (or use a trivia card deck).
1 = Movies
2 = History
3 = Music
4 = Pop Culture
5 = Sports
6 = Mystery round

Roll to choose a category, answer a trivia question.

• Right answer = assign a drink
• Wrong answer = you drink

Keeps things competitive and funny when people guess wildly wrong.

13. Drunk Detective Dice

One person is the “drunk detective” and leaves the room.

Everyone else rolls one die. One player hides theirs and is the "liar."

Detective returns and asks people their number.

Based on acting/bluffing, the detective guesses the liar.

If correct: liar drinks. If wrong: detective drinks.

Add bluffing, deception, and drama = instant laughs.

14. Secret Dice Orders

A sneaky social mission game.

Each player rolls a die in secret and checks a matching card from a deck numbered 1–6 (you can make your own). Each card has a silly secret mission.

Ex: “Convince someone to give you their sock,” “Speak only in rhymes,” “Pretend you're texting your ex and act shocked.”

If someone guesses your secret mission correctly, they assign a drink.

If no one guesses by the end of the round, you choose someone to drink.

15. Last Die Standing

Survival of the drunkest.

Everyone starts with one die.

Players all roll at the same time.

Whoever rolls the lowest number drinks.

Then they’re out — but before leaving, they get to assign a special rule to the remaining players (like “no saying names” or “must drink with left hand”).

Last player standing wins and makes everyone else finish their drink.

Optional: Bring them back for a redemption round!

16. Speed Shots

A fast-paced, heart-pounding dice race.

Two players face off. Each has a die and a full shot glass.

On “go,” they roll at the same time.

First one to roll a 6 yells “DRINK!” — the other must take their shot immediately.

Winner challenges a new player. Keep the tournament going.

Super simple, super fast, super brutal.

17. Mixer Madness

A game of drinking roulette.

Set out 6 mystery shot glasses (each with a different liquid: juice, beer, wine, vinegar, soy sauce, etc.).

Roll a die and drink the one that matches the number.

If it’s nasty and you finish it = you’re a legend.

If you spit it out or skip = take a penalty shot of your main drink.

Best when players help prep the weird mixes in secret.

Dice games are the unsung heroes of unforgettable parties — low-cost, easy to explain, lightning-fast to start, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re playing a bluffing game like Mexican Dice, taking shots in Drunk Bingo Dice, or battling in a Dice Duel, the only limits are your creativity (and your liver). You don’t need an expensive game kit or fancy supplies — just a few dice, some paper or drinks, and good company.

So next time you’re planning a party, don’t stress about entertainment. Bring out the dice, roll them proud, and let the games (and chaos) begin!
