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.

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester with DJs blasting 2000s indie and emo anthems

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester this spooky season.
It’s been nearly 20 years since the release of the titular first film in the Twilight Saga, based on author Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling book series of the same name, but despite two decades having passed, the films remain as beloved as ever.
Twilight went on to become a global phenomenon when it first hit cinemas back in November 2008, not just with its target audience of teens and young adults, but with people of all ages – making stars out of its lead actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the process, and generating millions at the box office.
With the impact it had on the culture at the time, it’s no wonder Twilight remained among fans’ favourites all these years later.
And this success is why events company Throwback Events is hosting a series of Twilight Raves across the UK and Europe this autumn, making a stop off here in Manchester in late November with tickets now on sale.
The event description reads: “Bella, where the hell you been loca? Join us as we celebrate Twilight at the club, where every day is Hoa Hoa Hoa season.
“Step into the shadows and relive the magic, mystery, and eternal romance of Twilight. Get ready for a night of anthems, nostalgia, and glittering darkness as we transform the dancefloor into Forks’ most iconic vampire coven.”
DJs will be spinning Twilight soundtracks on the night, alongside dark pop, emo, indie, and 2000s bangers, as well as playing fan edits from the films on big screens.
Oh, and to make it all the better, dressing up as vampires and werewolves is ‘highly encouraged’.
Fancy it then? The Twilight Rave is coming to the Deaf Institute in Manchester on Saturday 21 November, and tickets will set you back upwards of £7 each.
