How to play Distractify's 'House Hunters' drinking game.

Everything is better with a glass of wine, including new episodes of House Hunters. Though every homebuyer is different, there are a few quirks you can count on in pretty much every episode. For example, would it really be House Hunters if at least one person doesn't mention an "open concept floor plan," curb appeal, or hardwood floors? We think not.

As we watch homeowners make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, let us all eat, play Distractify's House Hunters drinking game, and be merry. Whether you're drinking beer, wine, or diet Pepsi, feel free to join in! Just remember the golden rule: Please drink responsibly!
