Buzz is a drinking game that is often played at parties or social gatherings. It is a simple and easy game that only requires a few players and some drinks.
Variations
Reverse Buzz: Instead of counting upwards from 1, players count down from a predetermined number. If a player messes up, they take a drink and the count starts over.
Category Buzz: Before each number, the person who is "it" gives a category, such as "types of fruit" or "colors." Players must say something that fits the category before saying the number. If a player fails to do so, they take a drink and the count starts over.
Rhyme Buzz: Players say words that rhyme with the number being counted. For example, for the number 3, players might say "tree." If a player can't think of a rhyme or repeats a word, they take a drink and the count starts over.
Multiple of a Number Buzz: Instead of saying a number that's a multiple of 7 or contains the number 7, players choose a different number, such as 5 or 9. If a player messes up or says a number that is not a multiple of the chosen number, they take a drink and the count starts over.
Rule Buzz: Before the game starts, players come up with a rule that must be followed throughout the game. For example, players might have to use a certain word before saying the number, or they may have to touch their nose after saying each number. If a player forgets the rule, they take a drink and the count starts over.
Color Buzz: Players must say a color instead of a number. The next player must then say a color that hasn't been said yet. If a player repeats a color or can't think of a color, they take a drink and the count starts over.
Here are the rules for the drinking game Buzz:
Players sit in a circle and start counting from 1.
Instead of saying "2," players say "buzz."
The next player in the circle says "3," and play continues in this fashion.
If a player messes up the counting sequence or forgets to say "buzz" when they should, they must take a drink.
If multiple players mess up at the same time, they must all take a drink.
To make the game more challenging, players can add other rules such as skipping certain numbers, saying other words instead of "buzz," or changing the direction of play.
It's important to note that players should drink responsibly and know their limits to avoid any negative consequences.
The setup for the Buzz drinking game is quite simple and straightforward. All you need is a group of people and some drinks. Here are the steps to set up the game:
Gather a group of people: The game can be played with any number of people, but it's more fun with at least three or four players.
Choose a starting number: The starting number can be any number between 1 and 10. This number will be the "buzz" number for the game.
Begin counting: The first player starts counting, saying "1." The player to their left then says "2," and so on, with each player counting up to the next number in sequence.
Replace the buzz number with "buzz": Whenever a number containing the starting number or a multiple of it is reached, the player says "buzz" instead of the number. For example, if the starting number is 3, the numbers 3, 6, 9, 13, 16, and so on are replaced with "buzz."
Penalty drinks: If a player forgets to say "buzz" when they should have or says "buzz" when they shouldn't have, they must take a drink.
Restart the game: If a player makes a mistake, the game starts over from the beginning with the same starting number.
Increase the buzz number: Once the game has gone around the circle once without any mistakes, the starting number is increased by one for the next round. For example, if the starting number was 3, it would become 4 for the next round.
Continue playing: The game continues with players taking turns counting and saying "buzz" until someone makes a mistake or everyone is too drunk to continue.
Note: It's important to play this game responsibly and never to overdo it with alcohol. Make sure everyone is drinking responsibly, and no one gets too drunk to play.
