Inception Drinking Game + Cocktail
Drink deep enough and you won't know if you're dreaming either.
The Rules
- Sip — The spinning top totem appears on screen in anyone's hand or spinning on a surface
- Sip — A dream layer collapses — gravity shifts, walls fold, or architecture bends
- Sip — Cobb mentions Mal by name or sees her appear in a memory or projection
- Sip — Ariadne designs a new impossible maze or impossible architecture in the dream
- Sip — Someone asks 'Whose subconscious are we going into?' or explains dream rules to a new character
- Drink Twice — The 'kick' countdown is announced and the team prepares to synchronize across dream layers
- Drink Twice — Robert Fischer shows visible emotion about his relationship with his dying father
- Drink Twice — Yusuf's van falls off the bridge in slow motion — every dream layer feels the weightlessness
- Shot — The train erupts out of the street in Cobb and Mal's shared dreamspace projection
- Shot — Cobb finally reunites with his children's faces — we see them for the first time fully
- Chug — The top spins, wobbles, and the cut to black hits before it falls — or does it? Screen goes dark.
