Classic Games with a Gay Twist


1. Gay Never Have I Ever


How to Play: Players take turns saying "Never have I ever..." followed by something they've never done. Anyone who has done it drinks.

    2. Gay Truth or Drink


    How to Play: Similar to truth or dare, but you either answer a spicy question or take a drink.


    Gay Twist: All questions are queer-themed and get progressively spicier.


    Example Questions:

  • "What's your most embarrassing Grindr moment?"
  • "Who in this room would you most want to hook up with?"

    Gay Twist: It's already gay! But you can add drinking rules to make it even more chaotic.


    Best For: Maximum drama and chaos




    4. Most Likely To (Drinking Edition)


    How to Play: Ask "Who's most likely to..." questions. Everyone points to who they think fits best. The person with the most votes drinks.

  • "Who's most likely to hook up with someone at a gay bar?"

    5. Gay Would You Rather (Drinking Edition)


    How to Play: Present impossible choices. Everyone who chooses option A drinks, everyone who chooses option B drinks twice (or vice versa).


    Gay Twist: All choices are queer-themed and progressively more impossible.


    Example Questions:

  • "Would you rather date a masc guy who's bad in bed or a femme guy who's amazing in bed?"
