Strip Beer Pong: Rules and How to Play

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

  1. Set up a standard game: 10 cups per side, two balls, drinks in the cups.
  2. Play by normal beer pong rules for throwing and drinking.
  3. When one of your cups is sunk, you drink it and remove one agreed item of clothing.
  4. Accessories like shoes, socks, hats and jewelry count as items, which keeps the game slower and sillier.
  5. 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.
