Flip Cup

The American relay: drink your cup, flip it, next player goes. Fastest team wins.

Also known as: Tip Cup · Taps

How to play

Two teams stand opposite each other along a long table. Everyone has a cup with a little drink in it.

On “go”, the first player of each team drinks their cup, places it upside down at the table’s edge and flicks it so it lands mouth down. Only then may the next player start.

The team whose last player finishes first wins.

Agree on drinks and amounts before you start. The game works just as well without alcohol.
