Jenga Rules — Wentworth Hall Beer Olympics 2026

Jenga

Build the tower, keep it intact. Take turns removing blocks one at a time — but don't be the one who brings it all crashing down. Steady hands strongly recommended.

How to Play

Play Rock, Paper, Scissors (best of 3) to determine who goes first.
Players take turns removing one block at a time from any level of the tower, except the top level. Only one hand at a time may be used to remove or place blocks.
Take action on your block if applicable (see stickers below).
Place the removed block on the top of the tower.

🟦 Sip

Pull a block marked SIP? Take a sip of your drink before placing it on top.

🔴 Finish Your Drink

Pull a block marked FINISH YOUR DRINK? You must finish your entire drink before pulling another block.

The Penalties

The Two-Hand Rule

2 Drinks

Get caught using both hands to pull or adjust a block? That'll cost you two drinks.

Toppling the Tower

CHUG

The team who knocks over the tower loses the game — and must chug their current drink.

Winning

The team who makes the tower fall loses.
Don't forget to record the winner on the digital scoreboard!

If you live in a box and don't know how to play Jenga, this one's for you.
