St. Patrick’s Day Drinking Games to Play Online
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at home this year?

Whether you want to host a virtual party online or have a few people over for a game night with a digital twist, GameApart makes it easy to have fun with these St. Patrick’s Day games for adults.
Get ready to raise a pint and say Sláinte, because we got your St. Patrick’s day festivities covered!
HOW TO PLAY ST. PATRICK’S DAY GAMES ONLINE
Invite your guests to a virtual hang over any video conferencing software that allows for screen sharing, like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, WHATEVER. Everyone should join via their laptop or tablet. As host, you’ll pick a game on our website and share your screen — this will be the table top. Everyone downloads the free GameApart app (iOS and Android) to their phones, which is used as the controller to play your hand. Players then join the game via scanning the QR code in the game lobby, and you’re off!
HOW TO PLAY ST. PATRICK’S DAY GAMES AT A PARTY
GameApart was designed in the early days of quarantine to be played over video conferencing software, but now that people are starting to get together IRL again, it can easily be played at home. Use your laptop to start a game from our website, and everyone can either gather ‘round the laptop screen, or you can cast the table top to a television so you don’t have to sit TOO close to your friend with the tendency to slosh their green beer!
ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY GAMES
1. GIFs Against Society
If you love Cards Against Humanity but are also slightly addicted to GIFs, then this is the game for you.
How to play GIFs Against Society as a drinking game:
- The winner of each round takes a drink
- Everyone drinks if a GIF has a vaguely Irish theme or person (yes, Shaquille O’Neal COUNTS!)
- Everyone drinks when a GIF of a dog or cat is played
- If a card makes most of the players groan, then there’s only one thing to do — everyone drink the pain away!
2. Verboden
Verboden is a team-based competitive word-guessing game for fans of games like Taboo. The goal is for your team to guess the most amount of words based on clues given by one member of the team. If you say a Verboden word, the other team can BUZZ you, and the shame is real.
How to play Verboden as a drinking game:
- Say the banned word and get Buzzed? Drink.
- Skip a word? Drink.
- Mispronounce a word so badly that it makes everyone talk smack? Drink.
- And of course, the losing team has to drink!
Tip of the Tongue
Tip of the Tongue is a word-guessing game for fans of Heads Up. Players choose from a variety of topics and you help each other guess as many words as possible before time runs out.
How to play Tip of the Tongue as a drinking game:
- Drink if you skip a word
- Drink if you fail to get someone to guess the word from your clues
- Everyone drinks if someone is lauded as having absolutely crushed their round
The Word
The Word is a cooperative word-guessing game for fans of games like Just One. The Guesser has to figure out the Mystery Word from a one-word clue submitted by each player. Sounds easy, but if more than one player gives the same clue, then they get deleted, giving the Guesser less data to work with. It’s actually very awkward and funny, but ideally you avoid this situation!
How to play The Word as a drinking game:
- Everyone drinks anytime the Ref has to delete clues for breaking the rules
- If you get called out for using a clue the rest of the gang finds ridiculous, you drink
- Guesser gets the word wrong? They drink!
- Does the GIF at the end of the game suggest you did a bad job? Well, then taking a drink is your consolation prize!
Done With 2020
Similar in play to Cards Against Humanity, Done With 2020 lets us laugh at some of the highlights of our Weirdest Year Ever.
How to play Done With 2020 as a drinking game:
- Winner of each round takes a drink
- Drink anytime something triggers a bad memory
- Drink anytime toilet paper, hand sanitizer, or elections are mentioned!
- Does the GIF at the end of the game suggest you did a bad job? Well, then taking a drink is your consolation prize!
You may need to have an non-alcoholic beverage handy for this one, otherwise you could end up in rough shape.
May the luck of Irish be upon you whether you play these drinking games online over Zoom, or sitting next to your people on the couch.
