Every guy is different. But the one similarity between all of them is that we have no idea what to on our last night of freedom. The last thing we want is to pull a Hangover where we find ourselves waking up in a strange place with unexplained tattoos on our faces! Even worse, we don't want to come face-to-face with an angry bride wondering why you're not at the ceremony yet. So in lieu of these two very plausible outcomes, here are 8 bachelor party ideas for 8 very different types of men.
The Cinephile
Two words: Movie marathon. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or even Game of Thrones for that matter. This doesn't even have to be a night event, it could start in the morning and carry through the day as well as night if need be. Let's be real, those Harry Potter movies can take up quite a bit of your time.
The Alpha Male
Blood!! Food!! Hunting!! Kill!! I suggest you get the whole dominance notion out of your heads, lest your wife hits you over your head repeatedly with a frying pan. How about you get some of that testosterone out over a game of paintball? Try the Rambo package at Red Dynasty Paintball Park at just S$49.90 per person for 250 paintballs. Visit weplaypaintball.com.
Poker Face
If you fancy yourself in the category of charmers like Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney or Daniel Craig, a night of poker is just the thing for you. Tell the guys to BYO whiskey and champers and you're set for an interesting night with the boys. Who knows, you may just make enough to pay for your honeymoon! Get a poker chip set at The Poker Manic at just S$199; includes 500 chips and an aluminum case. Visit www.thepokermanic.com.
The Jock
Good, clean fun doesn't necessarily have to be bland or boring with good ol' football. A game of indoor football for is a brilliant idea for the sports fanatics. You and your buddies rent a pitch from The Cage and play through the night. It only costs S$150 for a 2hr game, after 10pm on weekdays. Visit thecage.com.sg.
Party Animal
Here's a safe and fun way to get your drink on – a party bus! Saddle up the guys and book a two-hour package on Cosmosine's Black Knight Party Limo Bus. It comes equipped with a karaoke on-the-move system, DVD player, bar counter with a wide array of beverages, syringe shooters, finger food and a steward at your beck and call.

Adrenalin Junkie

Just a mere 30 minutes from beautiful Thai city Pattaya, Thai Sky Adventures offers an amazing sky diving package for you and your groomsmen. With 10 or more people, each person only has to fork out S$351.70 for a single tandem jump. Trust me, the wind in your hair and the rush of free fall is the perfect passage from single to married life. Visit www.thaiskyadventures.com.
The Gamer
Instead of spacing out on the couch playing Xbox, how about rounding up the guys and head to an escape room? Basically the whole group is confined in a locked room and your only escape is through solving puzzles, discovering hidden clues and uncovering mysteries – a great way to put your IQ to the test. You literally need to explore and search the rooms for hidden passageways, or maybe crawl through a small tunnel and even perhaps encounter a zombie while you're at it!

The Foodie
If the idea of a perfect guy's day out is grilling all-you-can-eat steaks and chugging beer, then plan for a barbeque either at the beach or a friend's place. Dress code: Slippers and shorts. Just for laughs, you should turn this roast into another type of "roast", where everyone gets a turn to take jabs at one another? Just remember to keep it light and funny.
