The Original Secret of NIMH Drinking Game
By Kriztin A. Blomstedt
A Public Service Announcement...
This game is potentially dangerous. Unless you have an inhuman capacity for
alcohol, I strongly suggest you not use it during this game, even if it's
as weak as American beer. During the test run of this game, I drank an entire
two-litre bottle of Coca-Cola before they even got around to moving Mrs.
Brisby's home. Please use your common sense. Otherwise, have fun and
please don't drink and drive.
To play this game you will require:
- A copy of Don Bluth's animated masterpiece, The Secret of NIMH.
- An ample supply of your favourite beverage.
- A Gamemaster. (Someone who knows the movie pretty well and has a decent
tolerance for alcohol to call the game.)
- A Bartender. (Self explanatory.)
The game begins when the United Artists logo disappears from the screen.
The object of the game is to consume the most alcohol (and remain
conscious) as per the rules. Watch the movie and as each event occurs,
the gamemaster will refer to the rules and announce the correct
response. Although most of the rules are wide open to any
interpretation, the gamemaster's word is law. The game ends when either
the movie does, the gamemaster passes out, or when none of the players
can operate (or find) the VCR anymore.
Rules
Take a drink whenever:
- You see the cat.
- Technology fails.
- Mrs. Brisby whines. (If she whines about Jonathan being dead, finish
your glass and pour yourself another.)
- Martin is a brat.
- Someone blatantly flirts with someone else.
- Someone dead is mentioned. (If they are referred to by their full name,
take two drinks.)
- Jeremy sneezes.
- Someone gets stabbed.
- Someone tries to kill any member of the Brisby family.
- Someone says 'sparkly'.
- Someone repeats something someone else just said.
- You misquote the movie.
- Finish your drink and quit if you find yourself talking to the screen.
Tickle the people around you whenever:
- Someone states the obvious.
- Someone says 'NIMH'.
Response rules:
- Say 'Let's screw!' after all of Justin's lines.
- Whoever makes the reference to "She-Ra" at the appropriate time is
entitled to a drink from the person on their immediate right.
