The Substance Drinking Game Rules

The Substance movie poster

This The Substance drinking game turns Coralie Fargeat's 2024 body horror hit into a tense, funny, and very messy movie night. You follow Elisabeth Sparkle as fame slips away, Sue takes over, and every rule of the Substance starts to crack. The game matches the film's sharp Hollywood satire, ugly power plays, and huge practical effects.

Use these rules to track the seven day switch, Harvey's toxic behavior, Sue's fast rise, and the film's full blood-soaked collapse. Some cues land often, while the biggest scenes call for a bigger drink. It is a great way to revisit one of 2024's most talked about horror movies without missing the dark jokes or the jaw-dropping final act.

The Substance Drinking Game Rules:

  • Take a sip when The Substance is mentioned, sold, or pitched as the answer to aging
  • Drink when Harvey says or does something cruel, gross, or ageist toward Elisabeth
  • Take a sip when Elisabeth's old fame is pushed into view through her aerobics show, billboard, or poster image
  • Drink when the seven day balance or switching rule is explained, repeated, or enforced
  • Drink when a serum, stabilizer dose, or IV setup becomes part of the scene
  • Finish your drink when Sue first emerges from the slit in Elisabeth's back
  • Take a sip when Sue is treated as the fresh new replacement for Elisabeth
  • Drink when Sue delays a switch or pulls extra stabilizer fluid for herself
  • Drink when Elisabeth pays for a broken rule with sudden aging or a new deformity
  • Take a sip when Elisabeth shuts herself away and sinks deeper into self-hate or binge-eating
  • Take a sip when the supplier gives a cold warning about the rules or the damage they cause
  • Finish your drink when Elisabeth starts using the termination serum on Sue, then stops
  • Finish your drink when Sue beats Elisabeth to death and still heads off to host the New Year's Eve show
  • Drink when Sue's body begins to fail because Elisabeth is gone and the stabilizer runs out
  • Finish your drink when Sue ignores the single use warning and creates Monstro Elisasue
  • Drink when the New Year's Eve audience realizes the show has turned into a nightmare
  • Finish your drink when Monstro Elisasue is decapitated and the horror only gets worse
