Strip beer pong is the adults-only spin on the classic. It plays exactly like normal beer pong, but instead of only drinking when a cup is sunk, you also remove an item of clothing. It is a party game for consenting adults who know each other, so the ground rules matter as much as the play.
Before you start
- Everyone playing must be a consenting adult and comfortable with the game.
- Agree that anyone can stop or sit out at any point, no questions asked.
- Set a clear floor: agree the minimum everyone is comfortable stripping to before the first throw.
- Keep it private, among friends, and never photograph or film anyone.
How to play
- Set up a standard game: 10 cups per side, two balls, drinks in the cups.
- Play by normal beer pong rules for throwing and drinking.
- When one of your cups is sunk, you drink it and remove one agreed item of clothing.
- Accessories like shoes, socks, hats and jewelry count as items, which keeps the game slower and sillier.
- Play continues to the agreed floor, then it is drinks only for the rest of the game.
Keep it fun
- Count small items (a sock, a bracelet) as one item so nobody moves too fast.
- Let players swap a clothing removal for a dare or a drink if they would rather.
- Stop the clothing side at the agreed floor and finish the game normally.
Frequently asked questions
How do you keep strip beer pong comfortable for everyone?
Agree a clear floor before you start, count accessories as items so it moves slowly, and make it explicit that anyone can pass, swap for a drink, or stop entirely at any time.
Is it just for couples?
No, but it works best among friends who are all comfortable with each other. Consent and a clear agreed floor are what keep it fun rather than awkward.
