Drinking Games
Ring of Fire
A classic card-based drinking game that keeps everyone guessing. Each card drawn corresponds to a unique rule, from waterfall chugs to rhyming challenges. It’s chaotic, fun, and an instant icebreaker. See all rules and full details here.
Beer Pong
Line up the red cups, grab your best aim, and let the showdown begin. Beer pong is a timeless stag do tradition and can be customized with themed rules or dares in each cup. See detailed rules here.
Never Have I Ever (Stag Edition)
Put the groom in the hot seat with a wedding-themed twist on this classic. This version focuses on his past escapades and secrets — with a few surprises from the groomsmen.
Drunk Dice
A simple game involving just 2 dice. Using our done-for-you template in the stag games bundle, roll the dice and see what the corresponding challenge is. You can also easily make your own.
Drunk Jenga
Grab a Jenga or Tumbling Tower set and write dares and challenges on each block. As you play the game in the usual way, each player has to act on the dare or challenge written on their block. The higher the stack, the funnier the results. You could also have some extra spicy dares and challenges for whoever makes the tower fall!
Pub Golf
Pub Golf is a next level pub crawl drinking game! Great for a golf themed stag do, or just drinking game fun. Check out all the details of rules in our post How to Play Pub Golf. Make sure you keep track of the scores with our instant download pub golf scorecards.
Dirty Pint
Players take turns pouring a little of their drink into a shared pint glass (The dirty pint). This could involve a mixture of anything – beer, spirits, mixers…the more revolting the concoction, the higher the stakes.
Next, decide on a challenge – this could be a coin toss, card game, shuffleboard, or whatever you like. The losing player of the game must drink the contents of the dirty pint. You can decide whether to adapt this as a sip for quick games such as a coin toss, or make the poor loser down the whole thing.
Be warned, this one can break you after a few too many!
Mischievous Dares & Missions
Bar Crawl Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of cheeky challenges around town — get a selfie with a stranger, score a free drink, or propose to someone in public -or use our done-for-you template in the Stag Games Bundle (details at the end of this post). A mix of laughs and mild embarrassment.
Public Dare Bingo Cards
Print bingo cards with public dares like dancing in the street, telling strangers cheesy jokes, or singing love ballads. First to fill a row wins a prize (or punishment).
Funny Outfit Challenges
Dress the groom in ridiculous gear for the whole night — a tutu, superhero costume, or even a wedding dress. Up the ante by convincing him everyone else will match… and then don’t.

Karaoke or Dance-Off Missions
Nominate the groom for random open-mic moments or impromptu dance-offs. These are best served in front of large (and loud) crowds.
Prank the groom
While we’re on the subject of embarrassing the groom, if you’re looking for more ways to prank him then check out our post Funniest Stag Do pranks for even more ideas!
Games for Downtime
Great for pit stops between activities, or nursing a hangover the morning after, these games also make great icebreakers at the beginning of the weekend.
Groom Roast Session
Give each groomsman a few minutes to lovingly roast the groom. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and best paired with breakfast and coffee.
How Old was The Groom
Before the Stag weekend, gather together a collection of photos of the groom at various stages in his life from family and friends. Even better if they are photos the groom hasn’t seen before. The family member or friend will need to know the year the photo was taken in order for this game to work.
Print the photos out, or compile a slide show in your phone or with Powerpoint and link to the TV. Either way, number the photos and everyone (including the groom) has to guess how old he was in each picture. you could award prizes for the most correct ansers, and forfits for the groom if he gets one wrong.
What Did The Bride Say?
Before the Stag weekend, rope the bride-to-be in to answer your prepared questions. Our Stag Games Bundle comes with a set of both clean or dirty questions, or you could make up your own such as “What’s the funniest thing the groom has ever done?”
At the stag, ask the questions and everyone including the groom needs to write down their answer before revealing what the bride actually said.
The bride to be can give her answers via email or even filming her responses which makes for more fun on the night when they are revealed!
