Flip Cup

How to Play Flip Cup

Flip Cup is a team relay racing game. Two teams line up on opposite sides of a long table. Each player has a plastic cup with a small amount of drink. The first player on each team drinks, then places the cup right-side-up on the table edge and flips it upside down using only one finger. Once flipped successfully, the next player starts. First team to finish all their cups wins.

Setup

1. Split into 2 equal teams. Teams line up on opposite sides of a long table.
2. Each player gets a plastic cup filled about 1/4 full of their drink.
3. Designate a "start" end of the table.

Playing

1. A countdown ("3, 2, 1, GO!") starts the race.
2. The first player on each team drinks their entire cup.
3. They then place the cup right-side-up on the table edge (slightly hanging off).
4. Using only the tip of one finger, they flick the bottom of the cup to flip it completely upside down so it lands on the table rim-side-down.
5. They can keep trying until they flip it successfully.
6. Once flipped, the next player in line starts drinking and flipping.
7. Continue down the line until all players have flipped.

Winning

The first team to have all players successfully drink and flip their cups wins the round. Play best of 3, 5, or as many as the group wants.
