Jigsaw Puzzle Drinking Game Rules

First of all, while you’re setting everything up, start out by taking the number of sips equal to the number of pieces in your puzzle divided by 100. So if you’re doing a 500 piece puzzle, take 5 sips.

Take a sip anytime…

You connect an edge piece to a non-edge piece
You complete an element of the puzzle (i.e. all the pieces that make up one part of the picture)
A piece falls off the table
You accidentally disconnect two connected pieces
You get fooled by two pieces that really look like a match, but aren’t
You get fooled by two pieces that really don’t look like a match, but are
You have to move a large section to the other side of the table (+1 sip for every piece you drop along the way!)
Your pet gets a littttle too close to absconding with a piece
You darn well feel like it!

Take a shot or finish your drink when…

You complete the border
You finish the puzzle (extra drink for each piece you’re missing when you’re done!)

Puzzles are fun alone or with a friend, with or without alcohol. Of course, if you decide to play the alcohol way, be safe and know your limits! Here’s a good optional rule: take a sip of water every time you connect two pieces that have blue in them 🙂
