Dance Magic Dance,

We are taking a little break from the METAAAAAAAAAL today to bring you a drinking game blog based around one of my all time favorite films, Labyrinth.

I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry. What could ah dooo oooh oooh??????

Labyrinth eh? What a film.
It's got it all. 
Fantasy, Romance, those pesky little Goblins and David Bowie's crotch.
What's not to love. 



I made this game for my buddies (with a little help from Google) as a wee Christmas present from me. 
Basically it's a selfish present though, as I want to play it my self.


I'm going to give you a recipe for a Magical Labyrinth themed punch that you can use as said alcohol for the game.

Magical because, it contains alcohol. 
The wonderful elixir that makes everyone pretty, your conversation witty and your dance moves pure amazing. 
Ha, thought I was going to rhyme that last one didn't you? 

I will say though that sober or drunk.... My dance moves are ALWAYS amazing.  True. 

So first I'll give you the punch recipe then the rules of the game shall follow.
If you wish you can  have shots of your favorite spirit instead of the punch, but the game is pretty full on. 
If ya canny hawd yer liquor, tak a sip instead. 

Jareth's Magical Elixir of Crotchety Goodness 

2 bottles cava or champagne of your choice
300ml Smirnoff Gold
300ml clear apple juice
100ml Elderflower cordial

Ooh, glittery.

THE RULES

You will need a copy of the film of course. 

Dressing as the characters is optional, unless you are a man with a huge package. Then it is mandatory that you wear tights.
You may take one shot or sip of your chosen poison depending on how drunk you require to be.

Let the game begin.

Take one shot/ sip when

*Someone says "It isn't fair".
*Hoggle sighs, grumbles or indulges in self pity.
*The Goblin King looks sad.
*Sarah quotes from the book.
*You see a clock.
*Someone gets Hoggle's name wrong.
*There's a riddle.
*Ludo says "Smeeeeeeeeeell".
*An inanimate object comes to life.
*Didymus tries to have a square go with someone.

Take two shots/ sips when

*There's a musical number

*Ludo summons rocks
*When the Goblin king plays with his balls
EACH PLAYER MUST ALSO SHOUT "BAWS" WHEN THIS HAPPENS. Any player who doesn't shout "baws" must take another shot/ sip.
*A Goblin says something intelligent (At players discretion).

*You see a gratuitous shot of the Goblin king's crotch. 
TAKE AN EXTRA SHOT IF YOU GET TURNED ON BY IT.

The winner is the person who is the most sober. 
Or the one who sees all the labyrinth characters in the room with them.

Game over.
