#1: The Lineup:

With as many friends as you can fit into your car, hit up a long drive-through line. Roll down your windows and blast your tunes. Then get out and walk the line.  Your goal is to make friends with as many people from the other cars as possible.  Don’t forget to have someone run back to the car each time the line moves forward.

Score: 1 point for every new best friend you make.

#2: Dehydration:

Alternate between dancing and sitting in a dry sauna while consuming large quantities of varying types of booze. Once sufficiently drunk and dehydrated try to complete complex tasks like having a conversation, or tying your shoe laces.

Score: 1 point for every 1 hour of consciousness.

#3: Camping:

Pack up all your festival camping gear into your car and set it up in a park. Proceed to walk to a party 20 minutes away. Once at the party, realize you have forgotten something and go back to your camp site. Once there, throw everything around franticly while trying to find your favorite hat. Leave again, and repeat no less than 10 time throughout the course of the weekend. On Sunday night go out and party hard, don’t sleep at all and come back Monday morning to begin packing up the chaos of campsite you created.

Score: 1 point for every item you do not break or lose

5 bonus points if you pass out with your feet sticking out of the tent while searching for a lost item.

#4: Outhouses:

Find the closest outhouse (constructions sites work nice) and only use this for your business for an entire weekend. Bring a sharpie with you and write “clever” sayings on the inside. Use up all the toilet paper and forget to bring some with you.

Score: 1 point for every successful trip

Score: 1 point for every ounce of foreign liquid soaked into your clothes.

3 bonus points if you are able to navigate the dance floor without spilling your drink.
