"Apartment Game": A Fun Drinking Game from Korea to Try at Your Next Party! 🍻

Looking to spice up your next gathering? "Apartment Game," a popular drinking game from Korea, is here to break the ice and bring everyone together! With its easy-to-follow rules and fun, interactive structure, this game is perfect for any group setting. Read on to learn the rules and variations that will keep the party lively and unforgettable!

 

 

🎲 What Is the Apartment Game?

The Apartment Game is a classic Korean drinking game often played among friends or colleagues. The rules are simple: players take turns calling out numbers in ascending order, starting from 1 (the "1st floor" of the apartment). The game builds tension as everyone tries to keep up with the count and remember unique rules for certain numbers. If someone slips up, they face the consequence—taking a sip of their drink. This game is all about breaking the ice and creating shared laughter, making it perfect for any social gathering.

 

 

Basic Rules

 

1. Group Setup: Gather at least four people, ideally seated in a circle so everyone can see each other. All you need is a drink in hand!
2. Order: Decide on the order of players (usually clockwise) to keep the flow steady.
3. Game Progression:
   • The first player begins by saying, "Apartment 1st floor."
   • The next player says, "Apartment 2nd floor," then the next person continues with "Apartment 3rd floor," and so on.
   • If a player reaches a number that requires a specific action or rule, they must follow it (more on this below).
4. Penalties:
   • If a player forgets the rule for a number or makes a mistake, they have to take a sip of their drink.
   • A series of mistakes often leads to contagious laughter as the game picks up!

 

 

🌈 Fun Variations & Rule Ideas

To make the Apartment Game even more exciting, try these popular rule variations. Add as many as you like to keep everyone on their toes and the laughs coming!

1. Special Number Rules
   • For numbers that are multiples of 3 (3, 6, 9, etc.), players can say "Clap!" instead of the number. Messing up means a sip!
   • Try adding a rule for numbers with 7 in them, like "7" or "17," where players could say "Sky High" instead of the usual "Apartment."
2. Floor-Specific Actions
   • Add unique actions for certain floors to create more interaction. For example:
     • Every 5th floor (5, 10, 15...), everyone claps twice.
     • Every 10th floor, the next player has to switch places with someone across the circle.
3. Real Apartment Names Theme
   • For a twist, try using real apartment names! Instead of saying "Apartment 1st floor," say popular Korean apartment brands like "Hillside Apartments," "Dream Tower," and so on. This adds some fun variety and helps people unfamiliar with the game stay engaged.
