Aim, throw, score
Throwing and cup games are the stars of every house party: Beer Pong, Flip Cup and Flunkyball pull in even the people who usually just watch. Skill beats luck – and the mood rises with every hit.
Indoors or outdoors?
Beer Pong, Flip Cup and Quarters need a sturdy table. Flunkyball, Kan Jam and Cornhole are better on the lawn. In small flats, Coin Basketball or Cap Knock are the space-saving choice.
Gear and hygiene
Party cups and ping pong balls cost little and last many parties. Fill the target cups with water and drink from your own cup – it’s far more hygienic.
