Stag dos with zero booze are more common than you might think.
Here at StagWeb, we've seen a shift away from booze-related activities and a rise in sober adventures since the pandemic.
According to our stats, enquiries for things like nightclub entry and bar crawls have fallen by 10 and 20% respectively, whilst activities like bubble football and clay shooting have shot up by 10 and 25%.
Booze is old news!
So, if you're planning a sober weekend for the main man, here are 14 of the best stag do games for non-drinkers to keep the party in full swing.
1. Cards Against Humanity
Funny drunk. Funny sober.
This game does not need alcohol to make it enjoyable.
If anything, it probably makes your twisted answers funnier when you're sober as your true personality comes to the fore.
If you haven't got it, buy your Cards Against Humanity pack here.
2. Stag Do Mr & Mrs Quiz
A hilarious quiz the groom always loses.
Yes, just how well does the main man know his partner?
Send her the questions in secret and get him to unveil his answers in a questions-and-answers-style quiz.

A simple but highly addictive card games.
The rules:
- Deal all the cards one by one to each player
- The first player starts by placing one-four cards face down in the centre of the group
- The player has to say the number of the cards they place down (e.g. two fours, three Queens, etc.)
- But they do not have to be telling the truth
- If someone thinks the player is lying, they can shout "cheat"
- If a player is accused of cheating, they must then reveal their cards
- If they were cheating, they must pick up the card pile
- If they were telling the truth, the accuser must pick up the card pile
- If cheat is not called, the play carries on
- The person to the left plays next and must put down cards either the same or one up or down from the person before (so if the person before puts down a six, the next player can put down a five, six, or seven)
- If the person doesn't have a five, six, or seven, they're going to have to lie
- The winner is the first person to get rid of their cards
