Century Club is an endurance drinking game where players take one small beer drink every minute for 100 minutes.
It is also called Centurion. Think Power Hour, but somebody looked at 60 minutes and said, “What if we made this worse by 40%?”
There is no official version, but the core rule is consistent: 100 minutes, 100 small drinks. The only smart way to play is with tiny beer pours, water nearby, and zero pressure to finish.

How to Play Century Club
MINUTE CUE → SMALL DRINK → REFILL → REPEAT 100 TIMES
1. Start the Timer
Use a timer, playlist, or app that marks every minute. Watching a clock for 100 minutes is a great way to make the game feel like detention.
2. Drink Once Per Minute
Take one small drink when the cue hits. Keep the drink size consistent and modest.
3. Keep Refills Organized
Refill right after each drink so nobody is scrambling at the next cue.
4. Stop When Needed
Century Club is an endurance game, not a contract. Anyone can stop. No chirping, no penalty, no “come on, only 27 left.”
Century Club vs. Power Hour
| Game | Length | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Power Hour | 60 minutes | Hard but more reasonable. |
| Century Club | 100 minutes | Much heavier endurance version. |
If you want the shorter version, start with Power Hour.
