A woman has gone viral on Twitter after using a box of Jenga blocks to create her own drinking game that she plans to play with her friends after lockdown.
We’ve seen some pretty impressive game creations during lockdown so far, haven’t we?
It’s pretty safe to say that the best of human creativity has been showcased through having all of this additional time on our hands over the past 12 weeks, but this drinking game creation by Twitter user Rachel Leary – @rach_leary – might just be one of the best we’ve seen yet.
Think Jenga, but drunk.
Jenga is a “game of physical skill” where players take turns removing one block at a time from a tower, with each block removed and placed on top to create a progressively more unstable structure. It requires concentration and a very steady hand, two things that are not commonly associated with being under the influence of alcohol, so you can just imagine how well this game would go down at a party, pre-drinks or games night.

Sharing pictures of the stack of customised Jenga blocks, Rachel’s tweet read: “Just made my own drinking game with Jenga!”
“I can’t wait to get drunk and play this with my friends…”

A few of the drinking rules, dares, forfeits and games that appear to be featured on the Jenga blocks include ‘take a shot’, ‘waterfall’, ‘oldest drink’, ‘truth or dare’ and ‘2 truths, 1 lie’.
How brilliant is this?
We’re clearly not the only ones impressed by it either as the tweet has amassed well over 30,000 retweets, likes and comments in just a few hours since posting, with many eager to recreate their own version of the game for their next night in.
I’m thinking what happens when it gets knocked down but you could do a dirty pint like ring of fire and whoever knocks it has to drink the dirty pint! X
Whether you considered yourself to be pretty good at Jenga before, or you’ve just never quite seemed to get the knack of it, then this could be the game for you.
Let’s face it, it doesn’t look like there’s meant to be any real winners here.

Channel 4 is looking for Mancs who think they can survive the apocalypse for a new TV series
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Have you always wanted to see how long you’d last in an apocalypse?
Well now’s your chance, as Apocalypse is potentially coming back to Channel 4 for a second series, with producers having put out a nationwide casting call for contestants willing to take part.
The casting call simply reads: “Do you think you have what it takes to survive the end of the world?”
Described as a dystopian series designed to test the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of our nation, Apocalypse sees players are pushed out of their comfort zones and put to the ultimate test.
In the series, ordinary people are tasked with surviving for 28 days in an abandoned city – used previously only for the military to practice urban warfare – with no food, running water, electricity or heat.
Produced by The Garden – which is part of ITV Studios – for Channel 4, the show’s creators are now calling on Mancs and people up and down the country with the ‘courage and ingenuity’ to compete, to get in touch and apply for the potential second series.
Does your mate always bang on after watching a post-apocalyptic film that they would’ve done things differently? Or is the news at the moment freaking you out and you want to give the end of the world a bit of a practice run? Either way, sign up, test that plan you’ve built in your head, and see if you’ve really got what it takes.
Applications are now open, and all you need to do is fill in a short application form and one of the production team will get back to you if they would like to proceed. Come on, let’s prove what Mancs are made of.
Hundreds of katsu curries are being given out for FREE in Manchester this week

Hundreds of katsu curries are being dished up and given out for free in Manchester this week, but only for certain people.
And those lucky people will be students.
That’s right… a new semester is upon us, and thousands of freshers and returning students are descending on the city and Manchester‘s many universities for another year. But the life of a student isn’t exactly the cheapest sometimes, especially for those who haven’t had to live on a budget before moving out or into halls.
But to make things a little easier, Tampopo has announced it’ll be serving hundreds of one of its most popular dishes for free this week.
Tampopo is celebrating National Katsu Curry Day in the most delicious way possible, by giving away 700 Katsu Curries with rice for free, exclusively to freshers and students this Sunday (27 September).
Whether you’re brand new to the city, settling back into uni life, or you’re simply in need of a katsu fix, students can head to their nearest participating Tampopo and tuck into a hearty meal without needing to spend a penny.
100 katsu curries will be available each from 12-2pm at both Tampopo restaurants in Manchester city centre – which are on Albert Square, and in the Corn Exchange – or if you head over to the Trafford Centre, both the Tampopo there and the East Street sites are taking part.
“[Our] Katsu Curry has long been one of our most-loved dishes, so National Katsu Curry Day felt like the perfect excuse to give students a proper welcome to the new academic year,” Tampopo said in a statement.
So, are you feeling hungry then? The offer is exclusively available for takeaway only to freshers and students with a valid student ID, which they must present on collection.
100 portions are available at each participating location, and just one free katsu curry with rice will be available per person.
