Baskin Robbins 31: how to play

Somebody opens with the first chunk, starting at 1.

Players

2 or more, in a circle.

What you need

Voices.

Setup

Somebody opens with the first chunk, starting at 1.

How to play

  1. Your turn: say one, two, or three numbers in a row. That’s the menu. Say no more than three numbers.
  2. Next person picks up where you left off.
  3. Keep walking it until somebody has to say 31.

Example round

You go “1, 2”. Next goes “3”. Next goes “4, 5, 6”. Sooner or later someone says “31”.

When the round ends

Whoever says 31 is out this round. Skip a number or repeat one and you’re out this round too.

Common mistake

Four numbers, or restarting at 1 after 10 like you lost the plot.

No-alcohol version

Play exactly the same rules with water, soda, tea or no drinks at all. When someone is out this round, they simply sit out, start the next round, or take a light forfeit the table agreed on beforehand — such as choosing the next game or spinning the wheel.

Play responsibly

Soju Playland is for adults. If you choose to drink, you must be of legal drinking age where you are (for example 19 in South Korea and 21 in the United States) — and the site itself is for ages 18 and up. Drinking is never part of the rules: nobody has to drink, a pass is always fine, and water or soda works for every game. Never pressure anyone to drink, never treat these games as a drinking contest, and never drink and drive.
