house of anubis drinking game (playtested for safety and enjoyment)

i can't drink for the forseeable future (just adhd meds things) but i made an excellent drinking game for each season of hoa a couple years ago SO! i decided fuck it i will pass it on here on the off chance that others would enjoy it in my stead:

IMPORTANT NOTE: this was playtested multiple times over (alone and with friends), both with blocks of a good few episodes in succession and a few episodes selected from a random number generator. it is intended for beer/drinks of similar ABV and should also be safe with wine if you take smaller sips, but is NOT RECOMMENDED for drinks of straight liquor or primarily consisting of liquor*. you know your limits better than i do, but consider yourself warned. swap in water as needed!

*may be safe for mixed drinks that have been sufficiently watered down (like seriously, increase that fluid volume)

and for what it's worth, like any good drinking game, there's still fun to be had without alcohol! i've done that before while playtesting (mostly to compare seasons and make sure one wasn't considerably more difficult than another) and still enjoyed myself, but i'm also a freak who derives a LOT of enjoyment from categorization and pattern-recognition, so. ymmv?

without further ado...

SEASON ONE

take a sip when...

there's a dangling shot-reverse-shot cliffhanger going into the commercial break

something weird is going on in the background of a shot (up to your discretion -- i count funny reactions, characters not the focus of the scene screwing around, sufficiently weird production design details. that sort of thing)

pin drop :)

someone steals something from faculty/staff

iconic patricia line ("WHERE'S JOY"/"I WANT HER HOME NUMBER" things of that nature)

someone lies Very Badly

take two sips when...

nina has A Moment

fabian looks like he's going to freak the fuck out

someone says a ship name out loud

mara makes someone's life much harder than it was before

patricia attempts or successfully commits a crime (assault, theft, etc.)

finish your drink when...

someone drinks The Piss (elixir)

someone gets kidnapped

SEASON TWO

take a sip when...

there's a dangling shot-reverse-shot cliffhanger going into the commercial break

something weird is going on in the background of a shot

pin drop :)

someone steals something from faculty/staff OR (NEW ADDITION) faculty/staff do some theft of their own

someone almost fucking dies

joy chooses violence

take two sips when...

nina has A Moment

fabian looks like he's going to freak the fuck out

someone says a ship name out loud

awful flirting and/or breakup tactics

"Gerbil"

finish your drink when...

a tunnel chamber's main puzzle is solved

someone actually fucking dies

SEASON THREE

take a sip when...

there's a dangling shot-reverse-shot cliffhanger going into the commercial break

something weird is going on in the background of a shot

pin drop :)

someone steals something from "Team Evil" or vice versa

patricia acts irrationally jealous

jerome simp moment

take two sips when...

KT makes a Face Of Some Sort

fabian tries to fight someone (or is otherwise uncharacteristically aggro)

denby looks...i have no word for it other than "horny"

oblique reference to a character who has since left the show

failed attempt at either sneaking into or getting someone out of the gatehouse

finish your drink when...

someone gets locked in the crypt

someone gets sinnered (ONE drink per episode this happens. do not die during the assembly.)

BONUS ROUND: TOUCHSTONE OF RA (THIS ONE IS A JOKE IT WOULD PROBABLY KILL YOU)

take a SHOT when...

a scene just fucking. ends. far sooner than you were expecting.

fabian/mara hateship moment

something mindbogglingly stupid happens (up to your discretion, but probably better to err on the side of caution)

if you have any adjustments, additional ideas, or rule changes, i would love to hear them! i've swapped things around and out a few times, so while these are what remained/what seemed to get an appropriate number of hits (for my relatively small frame) and were fun drink triggers for me, it's by no means a final or comprehensive list. i recommend picking things you usually look for or come up often enough to be notable, are memorable plot moments that happen a few times over, or are otherwise characteristic of the show/season in question without coming up too often.

if you're so inclined, let me know your tally for each category for an episode if you try it out! happy playing! :D

The Good Place season one: Haha, what if someone was sent to heaven by accident and had to pretend to be a good person!

The Good Place by the end: Morality cannot be measured in a vacuum. While people should be held accountable for their actions, people are a product of their environment and the results of our actions are often beyond our control. Bad people can improve when they loved and supported. Also, the reality of death is essential to the enjoyment of life.

honestly i am lowkey obsessed with how terrible we didn’t start the fire is at being a song while also being among the the catchiest songs ever 

this is a song that includes a man screaming CHILDREN OF THALIDOMIDE and then the next lyric is buddy holly, ben hur / space monkey, mafia

it is just one man, listing historical events more or less in order with no context or end and then layering in a chorus so catchy you will BEG YOUR BRAIN to stop thinking about it

i just appreciate that level of aimless, technically skilled chaos for some reason

Its good for stories to just be one movie, one book, one series of 3 seasons, etc. In fact sometimes that’s the preferred length. Its good to use your own thoughts and imagination to fill in the blanks. Not everything should be franchised into oblivion and back.
