Thread: Help with spinning wheel game please

Tweet

I have a spinning wheel (like at the carvival) it has 12 sections for it to stop on and it is dry erase so we can write anything on it. I would really like to use this for a game. i am just having a real hard time putting something together. any ideas? I appreciate any help. Thanks

Do you want it to match your theme (if you're having one)?? -ie are you doing a haunted carnival theme.

just off the top of my head though, it could be used for the Tempt Your Fate game (lots of other threads here for specifics), instead of picking out a fate slip or popping a ballon for a fate, they spin the wheel

You could put different embarrasing actions for your guests to perform. for example (howl at the moon and change into a werewolf). I have done something similar with a "Wheel of Death" mine was color coded to coincide with a certain colored shot of alcohol or act out a skit and the ones that survived one of every color got a trophy. It was fun to see people acting out certain things and embarrasing themselves.

i dont have a theme, it is just halloween madness everywhere :-)

I like the tempt your fate Idea. I usually play tempt your fate popping balloons. hmm should I just have 6 bad fates and write them on the wheel with 6 good fates..

or just have good fate and bad written on the wheel and good fates get a prize and the bad fates will be written on paper and picked out of a cauldron or something.

or maybe just have 1 bad fate that is done everytime it lands on bad fate... I am really having a hard time this year working all the games out so any input is appreciated.

thanks for any help.

Ohhhhh, I really like that too Drayvan

you could do 6 of each, but depending on how many guests you have, it may get repetative. What about having post-it notes or tear off things so you can vary the fates once in a while? That way you can have 6 of each but have more than 6 actual fates? Or have more bad fates than good and the good get a prize/live whatever it is you have?
Taking slips out a bowl could also work but then kinda defeats the purpose of a wheel?? :/

Thanks rosella, I am going to go with post it notes on some of the spaces so they can be changed through out the night.. I appreciate your help. I was so stuck.

I did a Wheel of Fortune/MisFortune last year (similar to the tempt your fate game) to match my haunted casino theme. I just modified my son's twister game spinner and had the good fortune and misforunes in separate cauldrons. It was really simple and alot of laughs. Here is a link to a couple of pics:

By the way - the 'fortunes' were scratch off lottery tickets.

I made a little Wheel of Misfortune game.. Wish I had seen your thread earlier Super Freak! So I agree with everyone else who said to make it a tempt your fate game. Good luck!

I have decided to do a tempt your fate game with the wheel. if you land on good fate you get a $1.00 scratch off lottery ticket. If you land on a bad fate you have to do a minute to win it task (I bought the minute to win it game). if you do the task within 1 minute, your name goes into a drawing for the grand prize. I was thinking about making the prize a $50.00 gift card. what do ya think?
