The outcome is simple yet thrilling: one player survives and the other falls victim to their own choice. While its premise is straightforward, the game's charm lies in deception and the unpredictability of each round.

A beginner's guide to Poison Drinks

Primary gameplay

The core gameplay in Poison Drinks revolves around psychological battles and Lady Luck being on your side of the table. At the start of each match, two players sit across from one another and choose one drink each to poison. Once the game begins, they take turns choosing cups and drinking from them. The tension builds with every sip until one player inevitably drinks from the poisoned cup and collapses, ending the round, as shown in the image below.

While losers don't gain anything, the winning players are rewarded with in-game cash, and their win streak is displayed above their heads. The money can then be used to purchase various cosmetic items, such as chair skins, drink skins, and even death emotes.

Tips and strategies

Although luck plays a role, mastering Poison Drinks requires learning how to read opponents and making informed decisions. Many players tend to poison predictable numbers, such as the first or last cup on the table, while others target the middle to confuse their opponent. Mixing up your own approach keeps you from being predictable and makes the mind games even more intense.

For players seeking more intensity, the Hard Mode raises the stakes and creates an even more thrilling experience by adding 26 more cups into the mix. This makes the game last longer and significantly raises the chances of getting poisoned for both players, where one wrong move can cost everything.

As previously mentioned, victories reward players with in-game cash that can be spent on unique skins. Chair skins range from flashy designs like the Milky Way Chair and Lightning Chair to fiery options such as the Magma Chair. Drinks are equally customizable, with everyday options like Bloxy Cola or Hot Chocolate and more whimsical choices such as Milkshakes. Meanwhile, exclusive drink skins, such as the Slushie, Starblox, and Witches Brew, are available via purchase using Robux.

Players can also purchase and equip various quirky death emotes using the in-game cash earned by playing and winning rounds of Poison Drinks to personalize their experience even further. There is a wide variety of these emotes, such as Angry, Faceslam, Rage, Bye Bye, and Explosion. They are played after you choose a drink poisoned by your opponent instead of the default animation.

Even though winning games is the most reliable way to earn cash, players can also claim free spins that sometimes reward drink skins or additional cash, which they can then splurge on their favorite cosmetics in the shop. The in-game shop provides another route for earning cash, where you can purchase bundles (available in different sizes) of it using Robux.
