How to play Snakes & Liquor

A snakes-and-ladders race where every square asks something of the table — a fact to judge, a bluff to call, a ten-second challenge, a group game. Free to play on one phone (even offline) or online with friends.

The goal

Be first to reach the finish square. Roll the die, hop along the board, and deal with whatever square you land on. Ladders lift you up, snakes slide you back, and if you roll too high you bounce back off the end.

Pick your game

Drinks — Shots, sips and forfeits. 18+ only — please drink responsibly.
Family — Zero alcohol. Silly actions, facts and challenges everyone can play.
Lovers — For couples. Coming soon.

Then choose how lively it gets: Chill, Normal or Spicy. Chill is gentle, Spicy is cheekier — and every card has a fair, light version.

What the squares do

You do itThe roller does what the card says (e.g. take a shot).

Pick a friendThe roller chooses who does what the card says.

EveryoneEvery player does what the card says.

DuelThe roller picks an opponent; both roll, the lower roll loses.

Swap placesThe roller picks a player and they trade board positions.

True or falseThe game states a fact — the roller says true or false. Wrong answer = a penalty.

Fact or bluffThe roller states a fact (true or made up). Anyone can call bluff — then it must be proven, or someone drinks.

SpotlightA creative prompt on the clock — a movie for the moment, a song, a hot take. Fail it and take a penalty.

Love ladderA sweet moment: pay a compliment, share a memory, toast someone. No penalty — just good vibes.

New ruleSets a table rule that stays until the next rule tile.

Mystery spinSpins for a random tile effect.

Power-upGives the roller a Shield or a Reroll.

Some plain-looking free squares hide a surprise too: a Quickfire ten-second challenge, a bonus roll, a free Block, or a group game everyone joins. Others stay calm — a breather is part of the fun.

Blocks and the Buzz Meter

A Block (shield) cancels one card aimed at you. Everyone starts with the number the host chooses, and you can win more. The Buzz Meter on the leaderboard tracks who has taken the most hits so far — it's bragging rights, nothing more. Family games call it the Silly Meter.

One phone or online

Play here: one device, 2–12 players, pass it around — it works with no signal once installed. Play online: everyone joins from their own phone with a five-letter code, or open a public room so others can find it.

Play responsibly

The adults-only mode is optional and 18+. Any drink can always be swapped for water, nobody has to take a penalty they don't want to, and nobody should drive after drinking. Family mode has no alcohol at all.
