Spin the Bottle Rules

For someone who is a veteran in attending parties, a spin the bottle game is nothing new.

If you are new to the party circuit and have no clue about the rules of this game, then let me tell you one thing - this is not for the shy, conservative kinds. If you are someone who loves adventure and likes to experiment in life, only then go ahead and attend a party where this game is being played. And, if by any chance, you are hosting a party and planning to include this game in it, then given below are the rules, to help you plan it in the most fun and innovative way.

Spin the Bottle Game Rules

This game should ideally be played in a group of six or more people, because anything lesser than that would not be so much fun. The group should be a mix of both the genders. Besides the participants, the only other thing needed to play this game is an empty glass bottle, preferably a beer bottle.

The first rule is to always have the participants sit in a circle. The bottle should be kept in the middle of the circle. Next, ask someone, or do it yourself if you are the host, to spin the bottle. Now comes the fun part - once the bottle stops, the person towards whom the mouth of the bottle is pointed, will be kissed by the person who rotated the bottle. There is no way either of them can refuse to do this. There are two more rules which will apply here. Firstly, if the bottle points towards the same person who rotated it, it has to be rotated again. Secondly, if both people are of the same gender, then too the bottle has to be re-rotated.

Once the two participants have kissed, the one towards whom the mouth of the bottle was pointing, will restart the game by spinning the bottle. This game will be fun for everybody, only if all the people in the circle are kissed at least once, so continue to play until this happens.

To make this game more interesting, introduce a few more rules. For example, you can make rules like if two people are kissing for the second time, they have to increase the intensity of the kiss. If the first one was just a light kiss, then the second one will have to be with the tongue, and so on. However, make sure to tell everybody about these rules, before beginning to play so that nobody feels uncomfortable later on.

If you want to play the game differently, then a variation of this can be to play it with a "truth or dare" game. After spinning the bottle, the spinner can ask the one towards whom the bottle is pointed, a really intimate and personal question. The other person can either answer this question or has to perform a dare.

Another variation of this game is that the person towards whom the bottle of the mouth is pointing, has to take off any of his clothing items. The game can be played as long as the people in the group feel comfortable.

Spin the bottle is a very unique game, which is sure to be liked by your guests, provided you very clearly explain the rules, before beginning. By making sure that there are no two relatives playing this game, telling everybody the rules beforehand and by finding your own creative ways to add spice to this game, one can have fun at any age, with this adventurous game.
