contents The angel game is played on $2$-dimensional infinite grid by $2$ players, the angel and the devil. In each turn, the angel of power $c \in \mathbb{N}$ moves from her current point $(x, y)$ to a point $(x', y')$ which $\max\{|x - x'|, |y - y'|\} \leq c$ while the devil chooses a point to destroy in his turn. Then, the angel can no longer land on these destroyed points. The angel wins if she has a strategy to escape from the devil forever and the devil wins if he can cage the angel in his destroyed points by a finite number of turns. It was proved in 2007 that the angel of power at least $2$ always wins. In this paper, we rise the problem when the angel is drunk. She randomly moves to any point in the range of her power in each turn. In our game version, the devil must cage the angel by a given finite number of turns, otherwise, the angel wins. We present a strategy for the devil that: if the devil plays with this strategy, then for given $c \in \mathbb{N}$ and $ε> 0$, the devil can cage the angel of power $c$ with probability greater than $1 - ε$ if and only if the game is played on an $n$-dimensional infinite grid when $n \leq 2$. We also establish the results related to the hitting time once the angel is first time outside an $n$-dimensional sphere of a given radius. The numerical simulation results are also presented in the last section.
