1. The Classic SoCal Hot Sauce Challenge
Nothing beats the classic "hot sauce challenge" for thrill-seekers. This simple yet intense game involves lining up different heat levels of SoCal Hot Sauce and daring participants to try them all - starting with milder flavors and working their way up to the spiciest.
How to Play:
-
Choose from a variety of SoCal Hot Sauces, ranging from mild (like Avocado Guac Sauce) to extra spicy (like Original Red SoCal Hot Sauce).
-
Each participant takes a spoonful of the first sauce and, after a set amount of time, moves to the next level.
-
The challenge continues until the last person standing wins — or until someone reaches for the milk!
Pro Tip: Add a scoring system based on reactions like "kept cool" or "needed water," and crown the bravest participant as the Heat Master.
2. Heat Roulette: A Game of Chance
Inspired by traditional roulette, this game adds an exciting twist with SoCal Hot Sauce. Perfect for a group of friends or a party, it’s all about luck — and you never know what heat level you'll get until you take a bite, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the game.
How to Play:
-
Set up a circular tray of food items, such as tortilla chips, wings, or crackers.
-
Randomly place drops of different SoCal Hot Sauces on the items, keeping some mild and others blazing hot.
-
Spin the tray or use a random number generator to select who eats which item — no one knows what heat level they’ll get until they take a bite!
Why It’s Fun: The unpredictable nature of this game keeps participants on edge, not knowing whether they’ll get a tangy mild sauce or something that packs a fiery punch.

Prepare hot wings and coat them in increasing levels of SoCal Hot Sauce.
-
Participants must eat the wings without showing any signs of discomfort - no wiping sweat, fanning their face or reaching for water.
-
Those who maintain their composure move on to the next round, while those who can’t handle the heat are eliminated.
