Game Setup

Is It A Hashtag Drinking Game Rules

1. Forming Teams:
   • The game master randomly picks two pieces of paper to create teams. Each team is formed by the players who wrote the words on those papers.
2. Creating Hashtags:
   • Each team combines their two words to form a compound hashtag. For example, if one word is “sunny” and the other is “dinosaur,” the hashtag could be #SunnyDinosaur.
3. Checking Hashtags:
   • The game master uses a device to search for the created hashtag on Instagram or Twitter.
   • The goal is to find out if the hashtag already exists on these platforms.
4. Drinking Rules:
   • If the hashtag exists, the team members are safe and do not have to drink.
   • If the hashtag does not exist, the team members must take a drink.
5. Continuing Play:
   • The game continues with the game master forming new teams and creating new hashtags until all the words have been used.
