Question 1

How do I set up a game?

Accepted Answer

Pick multiplayer or quick play, choose a category (SFW, NSFW, Bachelorette, or Singles), add player names if you're in multiplayer mode, and you're playing. The whole setup takes about a minute. See the [How to Play](/how-to-play) page for a full walkthrough.

Question 2

What's the difference between multiplayer and quick play?

Accepted Answer

Multiplayer tracks player names, turn order, and a live scoreboard. Quick play skips all of that and deals a straight stream of cards for a faster, less structured session. See the [full comparison](/blog/quick-play-vs-multiplayer-mode).

Question 3

How many players do I need?

Accepted Answer

Two is enough to play, and the free plan supports up to 5 players in multiplayer mode. Premium raises the cap to 20 players for larger groups.

Question 4

What's the difference between the categories?

Accepted Answer

SFW is safe for any group and free to play. NSFW, Bachelorette, and Singles are 18+ categories with sharper, more personal prompts. A limited set of cards in each is free to try, with the full deck unlocking on Premium. See the [deck pages](/select-category) for details on each.

Question 5

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. You can play immediately without signing up. Creating an account lets you save custom cards and premium access across sessions.

Question 6

Can I write my own cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the [Add Cards](/add-cards) tool lets you write custom prompts that get shuffled into the deck alongside the built-in cards. See the [guide to making your own cards](/blog/how-to-make-your-own-drinking-game-cards) for ideas.

Question 7

What does Drunkdeck Premium include?

Accepted Answer

Premium unlocks the full NSFW, Bachelorette, and Singles decks, raises the player cap to 20, and lets you add and save unlimited custom cards. See [Premium plans and pricing](/premium) for the full comparison.

Question 8

Is Drunkdeck free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The SFW deck is free with no player cap workaround needed, and every other category includes a free set of cards to try before Premium unlocks the rest.

Question 9

Is there an age restriction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Drunkdeck is intended for players 18 and older, and the NSFW, Bachelorette, and Singles categories require age confirmation before play.

Question 10

Do I have to drink to play?

Accepted Answer

No. Every game works the same with a non-alcoholic substitute: water, a point system, or a small forfeit instead of a drink. See [Responsible Drinking](/responsible-drinking) for pacing tips.

Question 11

Can I play without an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Drunkdeck runs in the browser and needs an internet connection to load and save game data.

Question 12

How do I quit or end a game early?

Accepted Answer

Use the close button in the top corner of the game screen to end the session and see the final scoreboard.
