What does APT mean?
APT (Apartment Game) is a popular drinking game that originated in South Korea, which has gained widespread attention again due to BLACKPINK member Rosé’s new song 《APT.》.
This game is very suitable for social occasions, especially at drinking tables, and can effectively liven up the atmosphere.
APT Game Rules

| 2 | Start the game | One player (the banker) first shouts out a random number |
| 3 | Count numbers and draw hands | Starting from the bottom hand, count the numbers in order until reaching the number specified by the banker. When this number is reached, that player loses |
