Yesterday in one of a big forum I have been asked by a guy to suggest some good minute to win it game ideas.

So today here is a take away for all the people who are excited to know some good games that are fun, exciting and very interesting. This list of one minute games will be perfect for any age group, i.e for kids, teens, adults, etc. But before handing over the list to you I would like to tell you what exactly these minute to win it games are.

Minute to win it concept and origin

The original concept behind this kind of game was created by Derek Banner in 2003. Then its been a full flagged Television show featured in many countries like US, UK, Australia, etc.. Earlier it was named as "Minute winner- You got one minute to win it". Then it finally changed to "Minute to win it".

Minute to win it games are very interesting games that make audience feel thrilled as well as the contestant. It is one of the games which ends up in limited time duration and thus it makes more interesting. These kind of games are played under one minute. Contestants are given with some props depending upon which the game is and the person who completes the tasks of the game in one minute, wins the game.

These one minute games can be played in any age group. These kinds of games are perfect for birthday parties but you can play it on any occasion or just for fun house parties as well.

Minute to win it game list

Now let me give you one of the biggest list of games you will not find elsewhere. My main motive is to help all the readers and to give them good number of options so they can choose the best suitable and the one they find more interesting. These are all easy 1 minute to winit games which hardly requires few basic props. So these are suitable to all.

Mad Dog

It is one of the funny game you would like to try out. It is very interesting game, you don't have to use your brain, just play and enjoy. This game has been inspired by the act of dogs. Let me explain how to play this game.
Props: Procedure:
Two contestants are required or even can be played with many as well. Let me explain it to you with two contestant example. Lets suppose that there are two contestants who are playing this game. Both will place the ruler in their mouth vertically which means mouth at the center of the ruler.

At each end of the ruler there will be one box attached with tape or any other material. These two boxes should be attached in a way that it should not move.

The game is that each contest have to move their head in just vertical way to empty each boxes within sixty seconds. The one who successfully empty the boxes within 60 seconds wins the game.
Rules:

You cant move your head vertically.

You cant touch the ruler with your hand

It should be moved with mouth only.

Card ninja

This one is a fun game which needs your accuracy. Youngsters will love this game. It can be played between two or even three. It is up to you how you want to take this game.
Props:
Let suppose there are two contestant playing this game. So let them stand aside with distance between them. In front of each contest the half water melon needs to be placed facing the the contestant. The table on which you place it should be at some distance, the ideal distance should be 10 to 12 Feet. But depends on you.

Timer will start with sixty seconds to complete this game. Now each player will have few cards with them which they have to throw in a way that it should hit and stuck in the water melon. The contestant who puts more cards in the melon will win the game.

Noise dive

This is really a fun game, the contestant have to use their brain a little to have that perfect accuracy which needed for the game. The game is simple and interesting.
Props:
There will be two bowls for each contestant, keep those two bowls at a distance of full stretched arms. Keep one bowl empty and other bowl should be kept with all the cotton balls.

Each contestant should apply petroleum jelly at tip of the nose. Now the contest have to put his/her nose in the bowl which is filled with cotton balls.

The contest have to pick the bowls one by one with his nose and drop it to other. As it is sixty seconds game so the winner will be the one who puts more into the empty bowl.

Tip - Don't push your nose too much to the cotton balls because it will create problem while dropping to the other bowl. Also don't just push less, it will create problem while picking. So the balls needs to be picked very carefully with an accuracy.

Sticky situation

It is another game where you should have throwing and hitting skills. It is more of like card ninja game but in totally different format.
Props:
Peanut butter are too sticky, a thick paste can stick almost like anything which are tinny or very low weight like a ping pong ball. The game revolves around the ping pong ball and the bread covered with peanut butter.

Put a thick paste of peanut butter on the surface of a bread slice. Now put that slice on a the table, butter covered side should face sky.

The contestant should stand in some distance to the table. The games starts with the contestant throwing balls one by one in bounce to touch the bread. The one who successfully bounces the ball and is able stick to the bread, wins the game.

Pink Elephant

This is a game of balancing. The one who have good balancing skills have more chances of winning the game. The game is inspired by elephant trunk. This game is perfect for kids and young people.
Props:
The game is very simple, it just needs balancing. Let the contestant place the spring and headband on the forehead in such a way that when you put your head down, it should look like an elephant trunk and the same way when you bend your head backward. The spring should be placed at the center of the forehead.

Now the contestants have to move their head in such a way that your forehead should be facing sky and the spring gets rest on your forehead in the contracted form that means no movement. It requires balancing and luck. The one who does the same within sixty minutes wins the game.

Hut Hut Hike!

If you follow rugby or American football, then you must be aware of the term "long snapper". This game is inspired by the long snapper act. But in little different way.
Props:
If you don't know what long snapper is read this because this game as I said is inspired by it. If two players are playing this game then place a standing hoop at a distance( ideal - 15 feet) to each contestant standing parallel.

Their position should be like long snapper with having toilet paper in their hand. They have to throw the toilet paper one after the other to make it pass through their standing hoop. The winner will be the one who puts more into the hoop.
Tip: It can be played in 2 or even more contestants. The more they will be, the more fun it will be.
Bobble head
Props:
You might have heard about a pedometer, if you know what it is then great as this game is based on pedometer, if you don't then let me explain. A pedometer is a electronic device which helps gauge the steps you covered while walking or doing any physical activity. So for this game we need a pedometer to perform this game.

Each contestant should wear the headband with the pedometer at top of it on their head. Now as clocks starts the contestant have to shake their head in order to reach 125 points. Its like a winning point. The one who reaches the point under sixty wins the game.

Chocolate unicorn
Props:
This game is inspired by unicorn horn. If you know that a unicorn looks like a horse but the only difference is that the unicorn have horn on his head.

Ding Dock or 7 chocolate cakes

Its very simple game that you don't require much hustle. Each player should be given with 7 chocolate cakes. The contestant have to place each cake one after the other on their forehead that means their forehead should be facing the sky.

As the stopwatch starts the contestant start placing the cakes one by one. For this the contest should have hold in their balancing.

The full structure of balanced cake should be there for at least 3 seconds. The one who does it wins the game.

Movin on Up
Props:
I think this game will be perfect for kids, anyways can be played by mature people as well.

For this game You need 40 plastic glasses, 39 in blue color and one should be in red color. The cups should be placed in stack form, one upon another. The stack should be in such a way that the red cup should be at the bottom.

As soon as the stop watch starts the contestant will remove the cup from the top and place it at the bottom. The contestant can remove one cup with one hand only and with every changing cup the hand should be different that means one from left then right then left and so on. The contestant need to move the red cup again at the bottom. If any contestant picks up two cups at once then he have to start it again.

Ka Broom
Props:
Ka Broom is another one simple game which can be played just for fun or even in competition too.

Place a plate on a table in a way that the half of the plate should be on table and half should hang in air. The part which is on table should be placed with large marshmallow at the edge. Likewise, place some more same kind of plates parallel on the table. Make foul line in distance from the table, (around 5- 7 feet).

Now the contestant should stand at the other side of the foul line with a broom in one hand and the cup on the other. So as soon as the stopwatch starts the contestant will start hitting the hanging part of the plates in a way that the marshmallows should jump up from the plate in a turning position. That means marshmallows will come toward the contestant. The contestants have to catch each marshmallows in the cup.

Rapid fire
Props:
It is another interesting game that you would like to try out. It can be played in any age group. It entertains the audience also.

If you have played or know bowling game, then you know how the bottles are set in a triangle fashion in steps. The same way you have make a triangle with 6 bottles of can, 3 on the table then 2 on it, then one at the top.

Make a foul line at some distance. Now the contestant should stand on the other side of the foul line. As the stopwatch starts the contestant can use his fingers to stretch the band to its fullest capacity and release so that that it should hit the cans. The contender who hits all the cans within 60 seconds, wins the game. This is suitable game options for teens.

Matchmaker
Props:
This game requires little bit of using the brain and your reflexes.

18 Cups 18 Candies ( Equally divided into 3 different colors)

Table

3 clear glasses

Place a main table at the center and place three other table around it. Now on the main table put 18 candies and cover it with the cups, one candy with each cup. The other table should be empty and cup opening should face the roof.

Now as soon as the game starts the contestant start removing each cup one by one and picks up the candy under it. The contestant have to pick those candies one by one and place it in different unfilled glasses in a way that each glass should have the same color of candies.

If the person picks the glass two times or two glasses and if he puts different color of candies in a glass then the candidate is eliminated.

Junk in the trunk
Props:
It's a funny game and little bit wired too. You might have guessed it from the title itself.

Empty the tissue box and fill the 8 ping pong balls in the box. Now with help of a belt or rope or anything, stick the the tissue box at the back of the contestant.

As the game starts the contestant starts shaking the body to empty the tissue box. The one who completes it successfully with in sixty seconds, wins the game.

The only rule is he/she cant use his/her limbs, only the trunks should be shacked and used to clear the balls.

It's a fun game which makes the party more energetic. Specially the kids likes this game the most.

Stack attack
Props:
It is one of the interesting game I found. I really loved this one. The game requires your patience as well as you have to be fast at the same time in order to complete the task and that's makes it interesting. I think this game is more suitable for adults.

As the clocks starts the contestant try making a pyramid of the glasses on his table. The pyramid should start with 8 cups with each one less glass above them which will make the pyramid. After when the contestant makes the pyramid then he/she have to slide the cups at the edge and it will become a stack of the glasses. The same way you have to make all the glasses in stack again. All of this has to be done within one minute.

Bite me
Props:
This game is also fun to play at birthday parties or any other occasion. I m really impressed with this game as it requires your body stretches.

Place the bags in a line starting from the bigger one close to the contestants and then one small size after it and so on the same way. At the front, after the paper bags there should be a table.
Rules:
Now the contestant should his/her body to pick the paper bag with his/her mouth by biting it and then he/she has to put it on the table. So that means the contestant have to pick each paper bag from the mouth by bending the body and then put them on table one by one.
Tips:

The contestant can't use any other part of the body

The contestant can't touch the ground with hands or knees

Stretch your legs side ways to pick the bags.

Iron board man
Props:
This is a team game of two that means two people make a team and compete with other team. This game requires balancing.

For this game you just need a iron board and marble. The team players should be holding each end of the board in length. Then one person role out the marble.

After its been rolled, their aim should be to pot the marble in any three big hole of the board. For this they have to balance the board in a way that it should get pass through any of the hole. If the balls falls of from the board, then they should pick or use another one. For this you can assign a volunteer to put a new marble on the board.

Spudnik
Propos:
This game is inspired from a satellite named Spudnik. The game is interesting and requires balancing skills.

First put the potato on the table for each contestant. Each contestant should have five straws before starting the stopwatch. As soon as the game starts each contestant start inserting one end of the straw on the potato and other side of the straw should be open to air. It will look like any alien space ship or a satellite.

Then contestant should bend the open side of the straw in such a way that they can put the peanut on the straw and should be balanced. This means that the task is to insert all the straws on the potato and then balance 5 peanut on each straw. You can use even gems or any any peanut shaped thing.

Defying gravity
Props:
As the name suggest the game requires you to break the gravity force be balancing the balloon air for 60 seconds. It is very simple game and very interesting too.

The game requires the contestant to stand with three balloons before starting. As soon as the stopwatch starts, the contestant need to hit all the three balloons in the air. Now they have to hit the balloon one by one to make them up in the air for one minute. They can't hold the balloons in the game they just have to hit the balloons.

This game is perfect for kids or matures. This is one of the best minute to win it party games that can played in any occasion even other than birthdays also.

Tip: For this game you need an open air place or if you play the game in a room then the roof should be at least 15 feet from the floor.

Here I end the list of minute to win it games, I gave you pretty much all the game options which I found to be the best. So which one you found the best one amongst all the games? or if you need any help for any of these games then do let me know about it.

This game is really hilarious and exciting to play for the kids as it requires quickness in placing the 25 pennies in 1 minute's time in the plate without using the hand.

In one plate coins are placed and the players have to lift these coins by sucking them with the help of a straw and have to transfer these coins it to another plate.

1. Dizzy Mummy Difficulty Level: 3

Our top choice for Minute to Win It games is Dizzy Mummy. The player attempts to wrap himself or herself from head to toe in toilet paper by spinning in circles. We love it because it's so easy to set up, but it's quite difficult to pull off in just 60 seconds. Plus, it's hilarious for all other players to watch.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Have the assistant adjust the toilet tissue up and down as the player spins in an attempt to get all areas covered.

2. Make sure the room is clear of potential hazards that could trip or injure the player.

You can't play this game without capturing it on video so you can laugh at it all over again later! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

2. How's It Hangin' Difficulty Level: 4

We had a difficult time choosing between this and Dizzy Mummy for first place, but we do think Dizzy Mummy is a little bit more kid-friendly. However, this game is unbelievably hilarious and the embarrassment factor for the player just makes it more funny. This one requires a little more set-up time, and a few more items.

1. Tie the string to the banana and make sure it's secure.

2. Tie the other end of the string to the waist band of the player's pants, in the front. The banana should be hanging just above the ground.

3. Place the hula hoop on the ground and the two oranges on the ground outside the hula hoop, a few feet away.

4. The player must use only the banana to move both oranges inside the hula hoop.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

Make sure that timer is set, because the other players will be laughing so hard at this challenge, they'd probably never notice if time ran out! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

3. Mad Dog Difficulty Level: 2.5

This challenge, while being hilarious, is actually pretty difficult. The player must move his head sideways and up and down in order to empty two TicTac containers before the time is up. If they can pull it off, they earn the title of Top Dog!

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Make sure you're playing with the normal sizes of TicTacs. The larger sizes can be extremely difficult to empty in one minute, and may not stay well-secured to the ruler.

2. In addition to moving your head up and down and sideways, rolling your head (as if you were doing neck exercises) can really help get the TicTacs to fall out.

This is another amazing opportunity to capture a truly hilarious video! A little less embarrassing than some of the other challenges, Mad Dog is fun for the whole family. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

4. Card Ninja Difficulty Level: 4

Card Ninja really tests the player's aiming and tossing skills, and is the perfect Minute to Win It game to play in head to head format against another opponent. This is certainly not the most unique of all the games, but it inspires healthy competition and is really fun.

5. Match Maker Difficulty Level: 4

Match Maker is like a totally upgraded and active version of the "Match" card game, except with candy! Players must sort candies hidden under cups, one at a time, by running them around the playing area to the corresponding storage cup. Focusing more on skills than the laughter aspect, this is a fantastic and intense game.

1. To start, 18 cups are set upside down on the table and each has a piece of colored candy underneath it.

2. Near the playing area, 3 cups are set up to collect the candies. They should be colored cups (red, green and blue) or should have the words red, green and blue written on them.

3. When the clock starts, the player will turn over the first cup and retrieve the candy from under it. He or she will take the candy to it's corresponding storage cup.

4. This continues, one cup at a time, until all of the candies have been sorted and are in their storage cups.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Keep your wits about you and make sure you're placing the colored candies in their correct storage cups!

2. This one is more about speed than skill, so keep those feet moving quickly. There are 18 candies to place and only 60 seconds, so you only have a little over 3 seconds for each candy if you want to win!

The ultimate game of concentration and agility, Hangnails forces players to slow down and move with care rather than speed. The materials required are most likely already present in the home, and set-up isn't too difficult. This is an exciting and intense game that is perfect for children and adults alike.

What You Need:

6 31/2″ Flat Head Nails

1 Piece of String (at least several feet in length)

1. The string is secured at both ends (tied around doorknobs, pinned to the walls, etc.) before the challenge begins.

2. The player must hang all 6 nails by the head on the string within the 60 seconds in order to win.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

Hangnails requires players to draw from their concentration skills and is an intense, fun game that can quickly become addicting. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

12. Mouth to Mouth Difficulty Level: 4

You've seen the "pull the tablecloth" trick requiring the performer to remove the tablecloth quickly and without disturbing the table settings. Well, this one is very similar except it requires the player to remove a dollar bill from between two bottles stacked mouth to mouth...without knocking over the bottles.

What You Need:

2 Bottles of Exact Same Shape and Size

1 Dollar Bill

1. The game is set up by stacking the bottles like so: the bottom bottle is placed right-side up, the dollar bill is placed over the mouth of the bottle. Then, the top bottle is placed upside down, with the mouth directly on top of the dollar bill and the mouth of the bottom bottle.

2. The player attempts to remove the dollar bill from between the bottles without knocking the bottles over. If he or she knocks the bottles over, they must place the bottles back in the starting position and try again. They must successfully remove the dollar without knocking the bottles over before the minute is up.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

This is an exciting and difficult challenge that only the swiftest and savviest players can pull off. If you don't get it at first, then try, try again! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

13. Mega Bubble Difficulty Level: 3.5

We love this challenge and its creativity and uniqueness. The player acts the part of the lion tamer, or should we say "bubble tamer," and works to manipulate a bubble through a hoop five feet away using only their breath! This is a hilarious and fun challenge that is perfect for families playing Minute to Win It with children.

What You Need:

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Stick with a fairly medium-sized bubble. Those that are too small will be very difficult to maneuver, while those that are too large risk popping before they reach the hoop.

2. Start with small puffs of breath, as large ones can make the bubble fly faster, and make it more difficult to control.

This is a creative challenge that is not only funny to watch, but is intense and exciting for both the players and their audience. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

14. Rapid Fire Difficulty Level: 3

Rapid Fire is an intense, exciting game that requires great aim and speed. The goal is to use only a rubber band to knock down a pyramid of empty soda cans. This is a great challenge for older kids and adults, and meets all of our Top 30 criteria: fun factor, laugh factor, uniqueness and creativity. The set-up is quite easy and it works very well as a head to head game.

You Will Need:

1. The set-up is as follows: 6 soda cans are set up in a pyramid (3 on the bottom, 2 in the middle and 1 at the top). The cans are placed on a stool or table approximately 6-8 feet from the player.

2. The player attempts to knock the soda cans over by flicking rubber bands at the pyramid. They must knock the entire pyramid over before the 60 seconds is up.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. This particular challenge is all about aim, so warming up with the rubber bands before the challenge is a great idea.

2. Aim for the bottom cans, as when those are knocked over, the others typically follow suit.

Rapid Fire is an addictive, fun Minute to Win It challenge that is super easy to set up. The best part about it is that it's so fast-paced that it's exciting for the audience to watch as well, and if you're playing the head to head version, they can cheer and root for their favorite player. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

15. Hoop de Loop Difficulty Level: 3

Forget ring toss, Hoop de Loop is so much more fun. For this challenge, players or teams will need to manipulate a hula hoop across the floor and over the soda bottle targets to win. Not only does this one require some serious skills with a hoop, but speed and dexterity. Kids love this one, and it's fun for adults as well.

You Will Need:

1 Hula Hoop

3 Soda Bottles (filled with water)

1. The player stands with the hula hoop before the clock starts. Three soda bottles are filled with water and set up in a triangle (one in the front and two behind and flanking the first).

2. When the clock starts, the player attempts to roll the hula hoop in such a way that it travels to the soda bottles and "rings" them.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Sometimes less is more. Roll the hula hoop carefully rather than starting out with a forceful roll that is likely to fly past the soda bottles.

2. Hula hoops with things inside of them (water or noise-makers) will be more difficult to roll than the regular empty ones, so make sure you give yourself an advantage by purchasing one free of items inside.

Hoop de Loop is fun for the whole family, and with very little set-up and few materials required, this game gets an A+ for convenience and entertainment factor! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

16. Bucket Head Difficulty Level: 4

For this challenge, players will not only have to draw on their talent of balancing, but will need to be pretty good at aiming and catching as well. The point is to bounce a ping pong ball off the floor, and then the wall, and catch it in a bucket balanced on top of the head with one hand. Sounds pretty complicated, right? Well, it's certainly not easy but it's a lot of fun and we feel it's a wonderful game to play with family.

What You Need:

Tips to Master the Challenge:

Bucket Head may not be the most hilarious challenge, but it's easy to set up, is a lot of fun, and is quite challenging. Try it yourself to see how much fun it can be! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

17. This Blows Difficulty Level: 3.5

Another challenge involving balloons, This Blows requires players to blow up balloons and use the air inside of them to knock over a whole line of cups on a table. Not only does it require speed, but aim and agility as well. While the laugh factor on this one isn't too high, it's definitely intense and exciting, and great entertainment for those who are watching.

You Will Need:

1 Balloon (per player)

15 Plastic or Foam Cups

1. The challenge is set-up by placing 15 cups upside down on a table. The player is given a balloon before the clock starts.

2. When the clock starts, the player will blow up the balloon and use the air inside of it to knock over the cups on the table. They must blow the balloon back up when it runs out of air and knock all 15 cups off the table within 60 seconds to win the challenge.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. As the balloon is expressing air, move it in a line near the cups. This will help you knock over a few cups rather than just one at a time, which will take too long.

2. Pointing the balloon up toward the cups rather than head on can help knock them off balance more easily.

This Blows is exciting and fun for adults and kids alike. We love the idea and the convenience of set-up, as well as the fact that the items are easily obtainable. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

18. Defying Gravity Difficulty Level: 2.5

For this challenge, players must keep 3 balloons afloat without letting them hit the ground for the entire minute. We love the throwback to the kids' game that is quite similar, as well as the ease of set-up and the fact that very few items are required for this challenge. It's intense, exciting and requires a lot of coordination and agility.

You Will Need:

1. The 3 balloons are inflated before the clock starts. The player holds them as he or she waits for the clock to start.

2. When the clock starts, the player tosses the balloons and then must keep them afloat (without touching the ground at all) for the entire minute. If a balloon touches the ground, the player loses the challenge.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. It's best to try and keep the 3 balloons fairly close together, so when tossing them, make it a small toss.

2. Keep the balloons afloat by tapping rather than hitting them. Hitting the balloons hard can cause them to scatter in different directions and can make the challenge nearly impossible to win.

Defying Gravity is a wonderful Minute to Win It game that gets players moving and really gives them a fantastic challenge. It's fun to play and to watch! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

19. Candelier Difficulty Level: 4

Though this challenge doesn't involve balloons, it is a bit like our last challenge in that the player will be attempting to defy gravity. Five tiers of cans must be stacked in an inverted pyramid (meaning that the bottom tier will have just one can while the top tier will have five cans), without falling over! Not only will players have to be careful, but they will have to be fast. This is a great addition to any game night!

You Will Need:

1. When the clock starts, the player begins stacking his or her cans to create an inverted pyramid. A single can goes at the bottom with a paper plate on top, followed by two cans and a paper plate, then three cans and so on until the player has stacked five cans at the top of the pyramid.

2. The pyramid (with the five tiers) must be fully created and balanced within a minute in order to win this challenge.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

Candelier is super fun and can become addicting, especially for those who haven't mastered it yet. It's easy to set up and fun to watch, even if you're not the one playing. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

20. Stick the Landing Difficulty Level: 3

This exciting challenge is perfect for a head to head match and requires very little to play: just a water bottle and a table or solid surface. The point is to toss the bottle until you're able to make it land right-side up. It sounds easy but it's harder than you think! We love the simplicity of this one and the fact that it combines the demand for speed with a need for good aim and skill.

You Will Need:

A Water Bottle (for each player)

1. Before the challenge, the water bottle is half-filled with water. The player holds the bottle and stands approximately 5 feet away from the table.

2. When the clock starts, the player tosses the bottle in an attempt to get it to land right-side up on the table. They must land the bottle correctly within the allotted 60 seconds to win the challenge.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Rather than simply tossing the bottle, toss it with a backward pull so that the bottle flips end over end through the air. This will give the greatest chances of having the bottle land correctly.

2. Make sure the bottle is only half-filled with water rather than all the way, as a full bottle will not flip as well in the air and will make it more difficult to win the challenge. Similarly, a less than half full bottle will not travel as far and can make the task harder.

Stick the Landing is a fun and difficult challenge that is perfect for adults and children alike. Set-up is very minimal and the material requirements are very little. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

21. Spudnick Difficulty Level: 3.5

Named for Spudnick the satellite (presumably because of the ever-so-slight resemblance), this challenge requires players to place bendy straws into potatoes and then balance candies on the ends of those straws. It's extremely creative and has a big laugh factor, as well as being tons of fun.

What You Need:

1. When the clock starts, players begin inserting bendy straws into a potato. The long end of the straw should be the end inserted into the potato.

2. Once the 5 straws are in the potato, players ill need to balance a candy on the end of the straw that is sticking up. This must be completed within 1 minute in order for the player to win.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. When attempting to insert the straws, it's best to "stab" the potato and use plenty of force rather than attempting to just push it in.

2. Be sure to insert the straws so that all of the bending sides are the same; having to twist or re-insert the straw will waste valuable time.

Spudnick is a cute and funny challenge that is perfect for games played with children. It's also great fun for adults, too, who will find it a little more difficult than it really seems. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

22. Bobble Head Difficulty Level: 3.5

Bobble Head is a funny, difficult challenge that can leave you feeling a little dizzy! This one comes in at number 22 on our list, because it's a bit more difficult to set up and requires items that may not be readily available. However, if you do have the items lying around, it can be a super-fun addition to your Minute to Win It game lineup.

What You Need:

1. The pedometer is hooked to the headband prior to the clock starting. It is then placed on the head of the player.

2. When the clock starts, the player nods their head to make the pedometer count. The goal is to make the pedometer count to 125 before the minute is up.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

Bobble Head is super funny, so make sure you have a recorder handy to get it all down! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

23. Noodling Around Difficulty Level: 2

Dexterity, speed, and skill are all required in this fun, family-friendly challenge that requires players to place 6 pieces of penne pasta onto a spaghetti noodle at once. It has the potential to be pretty funny, so it has the laugh factor we love, and it's serious fun.

What You Need:

6 Pieces of Penne Pasta (any large, tubular pasta noodle will work, such as rigatoni, etc.)

Several Pieces of Spaghetti Pasta

1. The 6 pieces of penne pasta are placed around a table (or in a line, if you prefer) and the challenge player is given a spaghetti noodle. He or she will start the game with the noodle in his or her mouth.

2. When the clock starts, the player must use only the noodle to pick up all 6 pieces of the penne pasta before the time runs out.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

We love the creativity with this game! It's fun, but it's also a pretty good challenge, so don't assume you've got it in the bag before you've tried it. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

24. Pink Elephant Difficulty Level: 4.5

We love the uniqueness of this challenge, as well as the difficulty level. It's one of those challenges that get under your skin; you won't be able to rest until you've completed it, even if it takes all night!

Elastic Headband (preferably a thick, wide one)

Slinky

Tips to Master the Challenge:

While this is one of the more difficult challenges on our list, it's still a very fun one and perfect for whatever format of the game you choose, whether it's head to head or against the clock. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

25. Movin' On Up Difficulty Level: 4

This challenge, reminiscent of cup-stacking games, requires a player to move one cup at a time from the top of a stack to the bottom continuously until they move every cup and reach the top of their stack again.

39 Red Plastic Cups

1 Blue Plastic Cup

1. The cups are stacked together, the blue cup at the bottom. The player holds the stack in his or her hands.

2. When the clock starts, the player moves the top red cup to the bottom of the stack, and then continues in this manner until they reach the blue cup once again and move it to the bottom where it was originally.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

This particular Minute to Win It game falls in at number 25 on our list because it's super easy to set up and is quite a difficult challenge, especially the first time around. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

26. Penny Hose Difficulty Level: 4

For players who want a chance to show off their dexterity, Penny Hose is definitely the game to play. The goal is to remove coins from the bottom of a pair of pantyhose by placing one hand each inside the legs. While it sounds fairly easy, it's actually quite difficult to pull off.

What You Need:

1. Before the clock starts, a coin is placed in each leg of the pair of pantyhose.

2. When the clock starts, the player begins by placing one hand in each leg of the pantyhose. The goal is to move both hands all the way down the legs and retrieve the coins, before removing the pantyhose from the hands/arms. The hands must work independently and one cannot aid the other.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. This is an incredibly difficult challenge. The best way to move the hands forward is by moving the fingers and bunching the fabric.

2. Using a pair of large pantyhose can make this challenge easier by preventing the fabric from becoming too tight around the arms and refusing to budge.

We love the uniqueness and creativity of this challenge, as well as the fact that it's just as entertaining to the audience as it is to the player. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

27. Paper Scraper Difficulty Level: 3

Paper Scraper is an intense and super-fun challenge that takes the tradition of building houses of cards and amps it up a bit. The goal is to build a 10-story house using just index cards within a minute. This one has the fun factor, the creativity and is also quite challenging. The set-up is a little bit complicated, since some of the paper needs to be folded first, but the fun is worth the preparation.

What You Need:

1. In preparation for the game, 20 of the index cards should be folded in half to create a crease down the center. The index cards are then placed on the table next to the player.

2. When the clock starts, the player begins to build the tower using 2 of the bent cards and 1 flat card for each story. The player must build a 10-story tower before the minute is up in order to complete and win the challenge.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

The trick for this challenge is balance. If the cards aren't well balanced, the tower could topple over fairly easily. While trying to move quickly, it's important to also move carefully and ensure that the cards are balanced.

Paper Scraper can be a fun head to head challenge, or the perfect game for a solitary player. Either way, this game is really exciting and encourages players to push the limits to get the tower built before the time runs out. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

28. Punch Your Lights Out Difficulty Level: 3.5

Punch Your Lights Out is an amazingly fun game which requires players to turn off touch lights mounted on a wall by tossing bean bags at them. The goal is to turn all of the lights off before the minute is up. Though set-up is a bit complicated, this game is extremely fun and exciting.

What You Need:

6 Battery-Operated Push Lights

Several Bean Bags

1. In preparation for this challenge, the push lights should be mounted to a wall in a pyramid formation: 1 at the top, 2 below the first 1, and 3 below those 2. The bean bags are placed near the player, who should stand about 5-6 feet from the wall.

2. When the clock starts, the player attempts to turn off the lights by tossing bean bags at them. The goal is to turn off all of the lights before the time is up.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Be careful when tossing these bean bags! Hitting a light a second time can turn it back on so that the challenge requires more time to complete.

2. While there's no need to throw the bean bag as hard as you can, it will require a sound toss in order to turn the light off.

Punch Your Lights Out is a game that's great for adults, but it's also great for families who enjoy Minute to Win It games. It's unique, creative and a fun challenge for the other players to enjoy, even if they're not involved in the challenge. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

29. On the Hook Difficulty Level: 3.5

With On the Hook, players must collect a total of four keys by "fishing" them from the edge of a table using a hook created from a chopstick, string and paper clip. This game is incredibly fun and has the laugh factor, fun factor, creativity and uniqueness we were looking for. While set-up is a little more complicated than most other games, it's worth it in the end and the items should all be present around your home.

What You Need:

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. It's important to make sure the paperclip is properly bent in order to pick up the keys. It's also important to make sure the string is tied securely so it doesn't drop off while you're attempting to collect the keys. It will hold the weight of 4 keys at once, so make sure it's super tight.

2. It can be difficult to see the keys and whether you're close to them when you have the chopstick in your mouth. You may have to rely on audience support to be sure!

On the Hook is a wonderful and exciting Minute to Win It game that is a great addition to a family game night. While set-up is a little complicated, the preparation is definitely worth the fun awaiting you! Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

30. Nimble Thimble Difficulty Level: 4.5

For this challenge, players must bounce marbles into 6 thimbles which have been placed upside-down on a table. Like the challenge, players must be nimble and quick to make this happen before the time runs out. While not everyone will have 6 thimbles on hand, the materials needed for this challenge aren't hard to obtain.

You Will Need:

1. To set the game up, a strip of double sided tape about 7 inches long should be placed on a table top. The thimbles should be spaced out along this tape upside down, evenly. The marbles are placed in a bowl and sat next to the player, which is near the table.

2. When the clock starts, players bounce marbles onto the tabletop in an effort to get them to land inside the overturned thimbles. Players must get a marble inside each thimble within a minute's time in order to win the challenge.

Tips to Master the Challenge:

1. Start out slowly and softly; a large bounce isn't needed to make the marble to where you want it. In fact, this could just end up sending it over the edge of the table.

2. Attempt to "drop" the marble onto the table rather than throwing it. This will create less momentum, which may help you land the marble into the thimble.

Nimble Thimble is one of the most exciting Minute to Win It games available, and is sure to be a big hit with the group you often challenge with Minute to Win It games. It's exciting and intense, and perfect for a head to head challenge. Click to go back to the top and see the full "Top 30 Minute to Win It Games" post.

We recently celebrated my oldest son's 9th birthday with a Minute to Win It themed birthday party, and it was a TON of silly fun! These 10 Minute to Win It games were perfect for all ages (we had guests from ages 4-55 playing these games, and everyone had a blast!) - challenging enough for the older kids and adults, but still simple enough that the younger children could play as well.

We found some great invitation choices on Etsy (clockwise from top left): Minute to Win It party invitations by Candles and Favors, Minute to Win It printable invitations by CTR Design, Minute to Win It Invitations by Babadoo Stationery, and Minute to Win It Invitations by Bee's Knees Design Shop (in boy or girl colored designs).
What You'll Need for these Games:
The score keeping was simple: If a player attempted the game he/she automatically received 3 points, and if they were able to complete the task in under a minute they received 5 points. The top two point totals won the gold and silver prize at the end of the games.

This is a great game to kick off the party because all of the players can compete at the same time (or you can break it down into several rounds of game play). Each player places a cookie on their forehead, and the goal is to get the cookie into your mouth using only your facial muscles in under 1 minute. No hands! This is tougher than it looks!

STACK IT UP:

Players must stack 25 pennies in under a minute using only one hand. This game works well with 3 players competing in each round of play.

SUCK IT UP:

Players place a straw in their mouth and use suction to transfer a pile of 25 M&M's from one plate to another in under one minute. Only one hand may be used to hold the straw. Everyone gets to eat their candy when the round is finished! This game also works well with 3 players competing in each round.

Pong Tac Toe was one of our guests' most favorite games - some of the adults even asked if they could do play it twice! We used three trays from the game Bounce Off Party, and assigned one to each of the three players. Each player had one minute to bounce ping pong balls down the length of the table and into their tray - 3 in a row (in any direction) wins!

STACK ATTACK:

Players have to stack up a pile of cups and then place them back into a single stack in under a minute. The original Minute to Win It version of this game calls for 36 cups to be stacked, but we reduced the number of cups for the children. Each child stacked 21 cups, and we discovered that this was the perfect number that resulted in exactly half of the kids being successful. Challenging, but not too challenging! Two players competing in each round works well so that any falling cups won't knock over your competitor's stack, too!

SCOOP IT UP:

Using nothing but a spoon in your mouth, transfer six ping pong balls from one bowl to another) in less than one minute. No hands! Hands are only allowed if you drop the ping pong ball, and then they can be used to place the ball back into the original bowl for another transfer attempt. 2-3 players compete for each round of play.

Each player starts with a stack of 25 red cups with one blue cup at the top of the stack. Start by moving the top blue cup to the bottom of the stack, and continue moving cups from the top to the bottom until the blue cup is back at the bottom of the stack again. Again, we modified this from the original adult version of the game that calls for 40 cups, and found that 26 cups was a great amount for the kids to work with. 2-3 children per round of competition works well.

NUTSTACKER:
JUNK IN THE TRUNK:
Thread five hex nuts onto a wooden skewer. Using only one hand on the skewer, stack up all of the nuts in under one minute. Since this game requires the table to stay as still as possible, only two players compete per round.
DEFY GRAVITY: PRIZES:
This game was another crowd favorite! To prepare for this game, empty a tissue box, and use an Xacto knife to make two slits into the bottom of the box. Thread an adjustable belt or wide ribbon through the two slits to create a tissue-box-on-a-belt. Removing the thin plastic barrier from the tissue box opening will make game play easier (for younger children) or keep it intact for more challenging play.

To play the game, strap the tissue box onto the player's back, and fill it with 6-8 ping pong balls (we used 6, but 8 would be appropriate for older children and adults). Shake, shimmy, jump, and dance around until all of the balls have fallen out of the tissue box. No using your hands and no laying down! This game is hysterical to watch in action!

Using only one hand, players must keep two balloons from touching the ground for one minute. For a more challenging game, increase the amount to three balloons per player (and use different colored balloons for each player to make it easy to differentiate!). No holding the balloons! 2 players per round of competition worked well to give the players ample space to knock their balloons around.

I used heat transfer vinyl from Expressions Vinyl in white, bright red, sky blue, metallic gold and metallic silver to create our "gold medal" and "silver medal" grand champion prizes. More more how-to details on layering vinyl, check out my post on DIY custom t-shirts here.

The birthday boy was SO happy to be one of the grand prize winners, and they both loved their shirts!

Everyone had a blast playing these fun Minute to Win It Games, and all ten games took 12 kids about an hour and a half to complete. Aside from the two grand prize winners receiving their special "Champion" shirts, each player also received a blue prize ribbon and a goofy "prize money" necklace. This was an incredibly fun party, and it was actually quite inexpensive to host, too!
