Pineapple Express Drinking Game Rules

About the Pineapple Express Drinking Game

Play the Pineapple Express drinking game with real-time activity triggers synced to the movie. The full pack includes 103 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.

A stoner and his dealer are forced to go on the run from the police after the pothead witnesses a cop commit a murder.

The game runs the full length of the movie — about 1h 51m. 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.
