Beer Flight Podcast: Breaking the Ice with Round Trip Brewing
Have you ever been in a situation where you need to break the ice with the people around you? Maybe you’re drinking with strangers abroad or going out to drinks with new colleagues or maybe you want to spice up your conversations with friends. On this episode, we explore five different ice breaker games – that can also double as drinking games – perfect for igniting conversations and a good time.
For the episode, we gather our first four employees – Amy, Billy, Craig, and Mary Beth – so you can get to know the people behind Round Trip Brewing as well as learn a few ice breaker games yourself.
Ice breaker games
What Crime did you commit?
Why are you being arrested?
How to play
Go around while each person details what crime everyone else has committed. The more elaborate the story, the better.
Two Truths and a lie
How to play
Each person tells two truths and a lie. Everyone gets to guess which is the lie but they can ask questions. The more detailed the lie, the better
Categories
How to play
Say a category like “dog breeds” and say how many you can name in the category. Each person has to increase how many they can name until someone calls BS and you name them.
Fives Alive
“Thank you for a lovely game of Fives”
How to play
Everyone shouts “fives alive fives alive” and the guesser shouts a number (0, 5, 10, 15, etc) as everyone shoots either a fist or a five. The results will be a multiple of 5. The guesser silently reads the total and if it add up to what they called out when the fives were thrown, they must say “thank you for a lovely game of fives” with a straight face without celebrating. They then leave the game and everyone has to drink. If they are wrong, they stay in the game, drink, and move to the next person.
