Ready to lose an hour of sleep, but gain a night to remember? Daylight savings is the ultimate excuse to gather your crew, grab your favorite drinks, and turn the clock change into a party worth talking about. Whether you’re vibing in the dorms, hosting a house party, or leveling up your wedding afterparty, daylight savings is the perfect backdrop for the wildest drinking games, daring challenges, and meme-worthy moments.
Let’s make the most of that lost (or gained!) hour with some epic party drinking games, custom challenges, and a few unforgettable dares to keep everyone on their toes.
Why Daylight Savings Needs Its Own Drinking Game
Think about it: everyone’s confused, time is literally meaningless for a few hours, and nobody knows if it’s too early or too late for shots. It’s the ideal setup for viral drinking games and NSFW dares that’ll have your friends laughing, memeing, and maybe even making a few questionable decisions.
Whether you’re in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or Denmark, here’s your go-to guide for making daylight savings the highlight of your party calendar.
Daylight Savings Party Drinking Game
What You Need
- Your favorite drinks (beer, cocktails, seltzers—dealer’s choice)
- A phone or laptop to check the time (trust us, you’ll need it)
- A custom drinking game builder or printable game cards (check out ours here)
- A group of fun-loving friends (4+ is ideal)
- Optional: Meme cards, dare cards, and a timer
How to Play
-
Set the Scene:
As soon as the official daylight savings time change hits (2 AM in most regions), gather everyone in one room. Assign someone as the “Timekeeper”—they’re in charge of keeping track of the official time (or pretending to). -
Start the Clock:
Every time someone checks their phone or asks, “What time is it?”—everyone takes a sip. -
Time Warp Challenge:
When the clock jumps forward or back, everyone must complete a dare challenge. Use a custom drinking game builder to generate dares, or pick from a stack of meme drinking games and NSFW dares for extra spice. -
Double Trouble:
If someone gets confused about the time (trust us, it’ll happen), they have to do a shot or complete a dare chosen by the group. -
Lost Hour, Found Fun:
At the top of every hour, play a quick “meme challenge.” Show a viral meme (bonus points for daylight savings memes) and the group votes on who must act it out or turn it into a dare. -
Last Call:
When the party winds down—or when you realize you’ve been playing for way too long—end the night with a “final round.” Everyone shares their funniest daylight savings moment, and the best story wins a free pass from the next dare.
Bonus Variations
-
Fortnite Drinking Game Crossover:
If the squad wants to switch it up, combine rounds with a Fortnite drinking game—take a drink every time someone forgets the new time zone or gets eliminated in-game. -
Couples Drinking Games:
Pair up and see which couple can survive the most dares without checking the time. -
Wedding Party Games:
Got a wedding rager during daylight savings weekend? Bring the game to the dance floor and make every song change a new dare.
