How to Play Valentine Beer Pong (With a Romantic Twist!)

At its core, this game follows the traditional beer pong rules: two teams (usually of 2 players each), 6 or 10 cups on each side, and the goal is to throw ping pong balls into the opponent’s cups. When a ball lands in a cup, that cup is removed and the contents must be drunk—but wait! There’s a Valentine’s twist.

Here’s where the romance and chaos come in:
Under every cup, place a folded slip of paper. This slip will contain either an advantage or a disadvantage. Before drinking the cup, the team must read the note aloud and follow the instructions. Some notes will help you out, others will make your life (and your buzz) a lot harder.

Make sure that the papers are evenly distributed — an equal number of advantages and disadvantages per team to keep things fair and hilarious.

💘 Valentine Beer Pong: The Advantages 💘

These advantages add spice, flirtation, and extra power to your game:

• Cupid’s Protection: You can “protect” one cup next round. If the other team scores it, it doesn’t count.

• Sweetheart’s Revenge: The opposing team has to drink the cup instead of you.
• Cupid’s Kiss: Next round, you throw 3 balls instead of 2.
