== Rules == Detonator can be played with two or more people. Players typically gather together in an outdoor setting. Game play starts with an unopened beer can. Players take turns smashing the beer can on their foreheads, yelling "Detonator!" as they do so. The can is then passed to the next player, who repeats the smashing and yelling.

Play continues until the [[structural failure|structural integrity]] of the can is compromised. At this point, one player inevitably ends up covered in beer. This player is declared the winner, and all losers are required to chug a full beer.<ref> {{Cite book | last = Griscom | first = Andy | authorlink = Andy Griscom | title = The Complete Book of Beer Drinking Games, Revised Edition | publisher = [[Mustang Publishing]] | location = Memphis, TN | year = 1999 | page = 67 | isbn = 0-914457-97-7 }} </ref>
