Dune Drinking Game Rules

About the Dune Drinking Game

Play the Dune drinking game with real-time activity triggers synced to the movie. The full pack includes 224 hand-crafted triggers spread across Casual, Normal, and Hardcore difficulty levels — so you pick the pace before you press play. Every trigger is tied to a specific scene, line, or beat in the film, and MovieknurD fires them in real time so nobody has to track rules or count seconds.

Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

The game runs the full length of the movie — about 2h 35m. Open it on your phone, tablet, or laptop, choose a difficulty, and press start when the film begins. Cinema Mode also works for theater showings, vibrating quietly when a trigger fires so you can play in public without disrupting the room.
