Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Minute to Win it Game?
A minute to win it the game is basically exactly what the name suggests. It’s a timed challenge game where the players have one minute to try and successfully complete a challenge. This can be things like trying to scoop cotton balls off the floor blindfolded (yes, that old game that we have been playing at baby showers for over a decade now is a minute to win it game!).
The games don’t actually have to be under one minute, but most of them have a time limit around that amount. These games typically have a very simple concept behind them, so they are really easy to understand.
I have hosted my share of parties throughout my life, and I can tell you from experience how little I favor party games that take a lot of explaining. They end up being confusing and in the end, way less fun. That is the opposite of the goal when it comes to party games, so I say scrap those in favor of any shorter party game like junk in the trunk (an all time favorite!) or any of the ones listed below.
How To Score Minute To Win It Games
The only time you really need to score a minute to win it games is if you’re playing in teams and having teams race against one another to complete the challenges. In this case, I highly recommend getting a large dry erase board or poster board and writing each team’s number across the top.
Alone the left side of the board, write down the names of each game, or at least the game number (1, 2, 3, etc.).
For each game, the first team to finish receives five points, the second team gets 3, the third team gets 1, and the other teams don’t score that round.
If you want everyone to earn a point if they finish, set a timer for each game. The first team to finish gets 5, the second team gets 3, the third team gets 2, and any other team that finishes within the minute timer gets 1 point.
