How to Play Pizza Box (Drinking Game)

What You Need:

  • An empty pizza box or a flat beer case
  • A marker
  • A quarter
  • Drinks for all players

Setup

  1. Place the box in the center of the group.
  2. Each player writes their name somewhere on the cardboard and draws a circle around it.

How to Play

  1. Flip the Quarter
    The first player tosses the quarter onto the box. They only get one flip per turn.
  2. Landing on a Name
    • If the quarter lands inside a circle with a player’s name, that player drinks.
    • The next turn moves clockwise.
  3. Landing on a Blank Spot
    • If the quarter lands on a blank area, the flipper gets to invent a rule.
    • They write the rule in that spot, draw a circle around it, and label it.
  4. Landing on a Rule Circle
    • If the quarter lands inside an existing rule circle, the flipper must perform that rule—whatever it may be!
  5. Keep Going
    • Play continues clockwise. With each flip, the board becomes more crowded with rules and names.
    • The game ends when the box is full or when players decide to call it.

Common Rules Players Add:

  • Take a shot
  • Swap drinks with someone
  • Speak in an accent for one round
  • Text an ex
  • Do 10 push-ups
  • Tell a truth or take a drink
