What other game is a symbol of young teenage romance if not the bottle game? In the classic form of this game, the neck of the bottle (or similar object) indicates who you will have to kiss. However, there are many different versions of this game. Some of the versions are less serious, and some are even more piquant! To find out how to play this simple and fun game and find information on a few simple rule variations, read on!

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Standard Bottle Game (with kissing)

1. 1 Gather a group of friends. When it comes to playing Bottle, the very first thing you need is other players (unless you want to play alone, which will be quite a sad sight). First, find a group of willing friends - the more the better! Try to get a group of players of both genders so that there are as many variations of the players who can potentially kiss as possible.
   • Before you start playing, make sure your friends know what the game is about. Kissing is usually acceptable for people who really sympathize with each other, so don't force people to kiss who don't want to embarrass any of the participants. Do not involve those who do not want to play into the game with you.
2. 2 Sit in a circle. When everyone is ready and in the mood to play, have the participants face inward in a circle. This is usually done on the floor, although there is no reason not to play while standing or sitting at a table.Regardless of how you organize your group in a circle, a hard surface such as hardwood flooring will be the best place. This will allow the used bottle to rotate freely and will not damage the floor.
3. 3 Unscrew the bottle! When everyone is ready to play, pick one person to start the game. This person takes a bottle (or any other object, such as a feather, glass, key, etc.) and spins it strongly in the middle of the circle of players. After the bottle starts spinning, no one should touch it until it comes to a complete stop.
   • If you do not know how to decide who will spin the bottle first, you can offer to do this to the eldest of the participants or the youngest, or, having guessed the number, give this right to the one whose number will be closer to the envisioned one.
4. 4 Kiss the person the bottle is pointing at. When the bottle stops, its neck (the end that opens) should be pointing towards someone sitting in a circle. The person who spun the bottle must kiss that person!
   • If you are not using a bottle, identify one end of the item you are using as a pointer. For example, if you are using a pen, the shaft end of the pen might be the pointer.
   • If you spin the bottle and it stops at you, spin it again.
5. 5 Go to the next player and spin again. That's all there is to it! After one person has spun the bottle and kissed the person the bottle is pointing at, the person next to him or her in a circle spins the bottle and kisses the person on whom it stops. Play in one direction - clockwise or counterclockwise.
   • Keep in mind that sometimes the bottle will indicate places between two people - in this case, the one who unwound is kissing the person closest to the neck of the bottle.
   • In addition, the bottle may end up pointing to someone who doesn't suit you because of your romantic preferences (for example, if you like guys and she settles on a girl). In this case, kiss the person of the corresponding gender that is closest to the neck of the bottle.
6. 6 Enjoy! Congratulations! You learned how to play Bottle. It is a fun and easy game that is best enjoyed by participants with a light heart. Don't let the environment get too romantic or sexy - this is just a game, and someone who takes it too seriously can feel pretty awkward.
   • However, if you feel that a treacherous "spark" has passed between you and someone from the participants in the game, there is no reason not to get to know him or her after the game! The Bottle game is good for starting a new relationship that might not have happened otherwise.

Method 2 of 2: Playing with variations of the rules

1. 1 Try to change the "win". While the classic bottle version is commonly associated with teenagers kissing in the basements of their parents' homes, there is no rule that says you should kiss the person the bottle stops at. To spice things up (or make things simpler), try changing the "payoff" of the promoter to something else. Below are just a few ideas, from the most humble to the most savory:
   • give a compliment;
   • hold hands;
   • hug;
   • kiss on the cheek;
   • kiss on the lips;
   • kiss in French;
   • have fun;
   • play Seven Minutes in Paradise;
   • take off a piece of clothing (for adults only!).
2. 2 Play with random rates. If you want to play the Bottle version with an added element of randomness, grab the dice before you start playing. Assign a specific romantic assignment for each number from 1 to 6. For example, you could set 1 as kissing, hugging as 2, 3 as fun, and so on. When you have identified six actions, start the game as usual.When the bottle points to someone in the circle, the spinner rolls the die. The number that appears determines the quest the players must complete.
3. 3 Try using the back of the bottle to choose who is kissing. One of the simplest variations of the Bottle game is to determine who will kiss each round. Players move in a circle, spinning the bottle as usual. However, when the bottle stops, the person pointed to by the back of the bottle, not the one who was spinning, should kiss the person pointed to by the neck of the bottle. In this variation, if you were spinning the bottle and the back of the bottle was pointing at you, you should still kiss - not spinning again.
   • Since in this variation the people sitting opposite each other are kissing each other, it is a good idea to have everyone change positions in the circle every few turns.
4. 4 Try the Truth or Dare option. One common variation of the basic bottle game combines the rules of Truth or Dare, a classic prank, a game that tells secrets, during sleepovers around the world. The bottle game, combined with Truth or Dare, begins as usual - spinning the bottle in the center of the circle. When the bottle hits someone, the spinner asks an awkward, personal question. If he (s) does not respond, the person must perform the task-action chosen by the unwinding, which may include a kiss.
   • The second option is that whoever unwinds the bottle announces an "action" to the group before unwinding. The person on whom the bottle stops performs an action. The action can also be performed by those who untwisted, which adds a unique element of risk to the game.

Tips

• If you like the idea of ​​a bottle game but aren't quite ready, you can play the Truth or Dare version! Here are the same rules, but when the bottle points at someone, you tell them, "Truth or Dare" ... and so on. You never know if the action will end with a kiss!
• Hardly anyone would want to kiss you if you smell like garlic! Make sure you have fresh breath. Use peppermint candy instead of chewing gum - it's faster and more effective. You should always brush your teeth, but that's understandable.
• Make sure you look nice. Hygienic lipstick, clean skin and beautiful clothes are all that is required.
• Do not be nervous. Nervous people are not attractive. You want the person who kisses you to be happy and calm, not annoyed. Be a good fellow and don't be rude.
• Try not to be too romantic while playing, just a light, gentle kiss will suffice. You don't want to get the reputation for careless kissing at Bottle Games parties!
• Have fun! Be creative and come up with your own variations of the game. These are just the basic principles, but feel free to shake things up anyway!
• The total kissing time is three seconds, but get creative! Kiss longer or shorter - it all depends on your desire.
• If kissing is uncomfortable for you, you can use a hug or something like that. Don't give in to peer pressure!
• If the bottle stays on someone of the same sex as you, just kiss the person to the right or to the left so as not to spend too much time unwinding. Establish this rule and clarify sexual orientation before starting the game.

Warnings

• If you like the person you kissed with, you shouldn't expect a call or anything from him at all. After all, this is just a game.
• Make sure no one is sick! This is a very important point. You don't want to catch any disease from the kiss of a sick person. It's not fun at all.
• Don't do anything that you don't want to do.Don't let peers pressure you! Also, don't force anyone to do something they don't feel like doing.
• If you are dating a boyfriend or girlfriend, do not play without their consent.
• If your parents really don't want you to play, don't play. Otherwise, you may end up being punished.

• Empty bottle
• Peppermint gum or peppermint candy
