What We Do in the Shadows Drinking Game + Cocktail

Share:

We have lived for centuries — but your drink should be finished tonight.

The Rules

  • Sip — the documentary camera catches a vampire doing something embarrassingly mundane
  • Sip — Nandor the Relentless mispronounces a modern English word with full confidence
  • Sip — Guillermo looks directly into the camera with exhausted resignation
  • Sip — Laszlo wears his colonial-era outfit in a completely contemporary setting
  • Sip — Nadja's portrait companion speaks and moves its painted eyes
  • Drink Twice — Colin Robinson energy-drains someone in a meeting with PowerPoint
  • Drink Twice — Laszlo escapes a situation by shape-shifting into an unrecognizable bird
  • Drink Twice — the Staten Island Council of Vampires convenes with maximum bureaucratic gravity
  • Shot — Guillermo kills a vampire and the roommates don't notice for multiple episodes
  • Shot — the Guide appears to deliver news that nobody wanted in the most understated way
  • Chug — Guillermo is finally turned into a vampire after years of loyal service
