Super Bowl LVI has become a heartfelt tribute to our beloved state according to Michiganders. Although the Lions won’t be playing, Matthew Stafford, former Lion now in L.A., holds a special place in the hearts of all Michigan residents.

Playinmichigan has put together a straightforward drinking game consisting of 56 prompts, along with a bonus, to enhance the excitement whether you’re at SoFi Stadium, Mom’s house, Jason’s modified annual party due to COVID-19, the bar, or simply relaxing on the living room couch during Super Sunday. Get ready to elevate the spirits!

All you need to participate is a TV, good observation skills, and your favorite beverage. Just a friendly reminder: most of the instructions will prompt you to take a sip, so please refrain from chugging down the entire IPA unless specifically instructed to do so.

Additionally, remember that this game is purely for entertainment purposes. If you decide to follow it, please consume alcohol responsibly, know your limits, and never drive under the influence. It’s also advisable to alternate with water as your beverage of choice occasionally.

If you intend to make use of our guide, you may want to consider scheduling an extra sleep-in on Monday morning (seriously, why isn’t this day a holiday yet?).

Regarding the ultimate inquiry about when the Detroit Lions will participate in the grand event, the answer is straightforward: It will happen next year, without a doubt!
