Host’s Food Eating Contest

Who can make the most host’s food disappear without getting caught? Remember, despite the name of the game, you don’t actually have to eat the food. You just have to ruin it. 

Some options include stealing food, mixing different foods together and then daring people to consume your concoction, throwing food at other guests—either blatantly as a food fight, or secretly as a surprise for guests to find in their clothes and hair the next morning. 

But you might just want to go ahead and eat because few things are as satisfying as being drunk and having access to mass amounts of free food. 

Disqualification: You throw up any amount of the host’s food.

Bonus points: Find and devour the expensive chocolates/rare and exotic truffles/endangered condor eggs that the host clearly tried to hide from drunk guests. 

Beer Pong Distraction

This game is challenging to your imagination and bravery, yet simple in form. All you do is walk up to the beer pong table and try to make players miss their shots. There’s no signing up, no waiting for a turn, and no choosing an allegiance. Why ruin the game for just one team, when you could be ruining it for everyone?

Pretty much anything is fair game outside of attacking players and/or cups. From making noises to starting fires and from pretending the cops have arrived to faking a heart attack, it’s all in bounds if it makes a player mess up. 

Disqualification: Somebody hits you in the face. 

Bonus points: A player gets so mad he hits the table/wall/his partner with such force it knocks over his team’s cups. Be very careful, it is difficult to pull off this maneuver without getting disqualified.

Create A Bathroom

This game is great for both those who have to go to the bathroom and those who don’t. Though it’s especially great if you do have to go to the bathroom. There are few rules; just create a bathroom by doing your business somewhere that isn’t traditionally a bathroom. Points are awarded for originality and daring, so don’t just settle for some private corner of the yard. Consider the front steps, a corner of the bedroom, someone’s shoes, anywhere, just be creative!

If you’re reluctant to play because you’re “polite,” or “friends with the host,” I have a feeling you’ll change your mind at some point while you’re suffering in the ridiculously slow real-bathroom line. 

Disqualification: Bathroom created in pants. 

Bonus points: Poop.
