Jenga is the drinking game that will have you falling all over the place! By falling all over the place, we mean falling all over the place with laughter. Try not to drop the tower of blocks while you’re laughing at the fun drinking rules.
We love this Jenga drinking game because:
– The rules are so simple, anyone can learn quickly.
– Each gameplay is less than 15-20 minutes, and high attention spans are not required.
– It’s an affordable game with very little equipment required.
– It has hilarious rules that are customizable to your audience.
– Free printable included below.
Jenga is a classic board game, that puts your balance and soft touch to the test. You pull out a block from the tower, gently, and then gently stack it back on top.
After a few alcoholic drinks and some enthusiastic friends will your hand be steady enough to pull the last block out before it comes collapsing down?
Here are the Jenga drinking game rules that we play in our backyard. Giant Jenga Drinking Game is one of our favorite 15 outdoor drinking games.
How to Setup Jenga Drinking Game
All that’s required for the Jenga Drinking Game requires the classic Jenga game and a couple of sharpie markers.
However, before you can set up your drunk Jenga, you first need to decide the hilarious rules and actions. These actions are colored on one side of the block.
When assembled, the side of the cube with the action is placed face-in. That way you don’t know what action you are going to pull from the tower.
There are 54 different blocks all with different actions, challenges, or just funny twists.
To assemble your drunk Jenga, first, you need to get your 54 cube values together before you begin. You can download the free printable below to save time. Or choose from the list below for the Jenga drinking game values we play with.
You don’t want to start this process with the permanent marker and create doubles by accident. You can use doubles if you like, it’s not a guarantee that every action will get pulled each game.

How to Play Drunk Jenga:
Once you have chosen hilarious actions and punishments for all your blocks, now is time to set it up tower. The tower should be 18 stories tall and 3 blocks per story.
You can either set up the Jenga tower by showing the Jenga drinking rules on the outside or pointing to the inside. If you point it to the inside, then it’s a surprise for each player what rule they will get. (Recommended)
Time to start playing and here are your unofficial Jenga Drinking Game Rules:
- Knock the tower over and finish your drink.
- Complete the action that the Jenga block says (no peaking).
- Only use 1 hand to pull the blocks (the other needs to hold a drink).
- You may test how loose or tight the blocks are before pulling.
- Once you start pulling the block it may put it back, but only in the original position.
- Whoever knocked over the tower has the privilege of setting up the next round.
The rest of the classic Jenga rules are all the same.
You can only use one hand to remove blocks and can not take blocks from the last solid top row.
Each player takes turns removing a single block from any row of the tower and adds it to the top. Once you pull that block from the tower, you must act out or complete what the block says.
Once a new story of 3 blocks is built on top then you can start a new row.
Keep removing a block and carefully placing it on top being mindful of the wobbly tower. The person who pulls the block that causes the tower to fall is the loser. Everyone else wins!
How to make your Own DIY Jenga Drinking Game
Jenga must be one of the easiest drinking games for you to make. Please do not enjoy a beverage while operating a saw to make this game.
All you need is a few 2 X 4 and cut them, sand them, and write the drinking rules on them. For tools, you will need a circular saw and an electric sander. For the larger outdoor version, the block sizes will need to be 8.5 inches long X 1.5 tall X 2.6 inches wide.
If this is too much effort, you can buy a nice set delivered for under $20. Here are a few we recommend:
Drunk Jenga will be the hilarious hit at your next get together or party.
