The Great Gatsby Drinking Game Rules

About the The Great Gatsby Drinking Game

Play the The Great Gatsby drinking game with real-time activity triggers synced to the movie. The full pack includes 175 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.

An adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Long Island-set novel, where Midwesterner Nick Carraway is lured into the lavish world of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. Soon enough, however, Carraway will see through the cracks of Gatsby's nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await.

The game runs the full length of the movie — about 2h 23m. 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.
