# Single-Player Alcohol Competitions Jazz Up the Evening with the Clink! Glass Drinking Game By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-09-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clink-glass References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/food/a-drinking-game-for-one/) & [fredandfriends](http://fredandfriends.com/products/view/clink-glass) The night alone doesn't have to be a total bore thanks Fred & Friends's Clink Glass [one-person drinking game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/word-alone). The glass is hand-blown and crafted with a [rolling ball maze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funpop-tabletop-pinball-game) in the hollow base. Designed to test your hand-eye coordination, it's most challenging when you're trying to maneuver the two balls while drinking. But just because this glass is designed as a single player game does not mean it has to be played alone. After many initial 'lonesome' nights of practice -- preferably with something non-alcoholic -- you can gather a bunch of friends and compete to see who can complete the maze in the 12-ounce glass the quickest. When you feel it's getting significantly more difficult to complete the labyrinth without spillage, it's probably time to go easy on the booze. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Single-player Drinking Games:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new and imaginative single-player drinking games that combine entertainment and hand-eye coordination. - **Interactive Barware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create barware products with interactive elements that enhance the drinking experience. - **Social Drinking Challenges:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design social drinking challenges that can be played individually or as a group, adding a competitive element to social gatherings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage and Alcohol:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate new drinking experiences and products that cater to the evolving preferences of consumers. - **Party Supplies and Games:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique party supplies and games that offer entertaining and engaging experiences. - **Hospitality and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce interactive elements to hospitality and entertainment venues to provide unique experiences for patrons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Alcohol-Centered Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-board-crawl.md) - [Outdoor Waterslide Drinking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-do-you-meme-slip-sip-flip.md) - [Adult-Exclusive Reimagined Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-crawl.md) - [Vertical Drinking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-pong.md) - [Gamified Wine Tasting Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/card-night-tasting-experience.md) - [Libation-Cooling Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamas.md) - [Fast-Paced Challenge Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-off.md) - [Boozy Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-darts.md) - [Wine-Branded Adult Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/would-you-dare.md)
