Solo Challenges

Face the Cookie

This game is pure gold for laughs. You place a cookie on your forehead and try to wiggle it down into your mouth without using your hands. Sounds easy? Oh no, it’s not. Your face will twist and scrunch in ways you never thought possible.

Pro tip: Go for cookies with a bit of texture (like an Oreo) because smooth ones can slide too fast or get stuck. Also, keep your head tilted back just enough so it doesn’t fall off.

Fun to watch: The best part is when someone gets close, and the cookie falls off at the last second.

Stack Attack

This is all about speed and steady hands. You have one minute to build a pyramid using 36 plastic cups and then take it back down. The person who finishes first (or gets the farthest) wins.

Pro tip: Don’t rush the stacking. If your cups tip over, you lose precious time fixing them. The trick is to keep a rhythm then be extra careful on the way down.

Fun challenge: Try playing with one hand only. Makes it way trickier.

Defying Gravity

Who knew keeping three balloons in the air for a whole minute could be so stressful? You can hit them with any part of your body, but if one touches the ground, you’re out.

Pro tip: Don’t wait until a balloon is about to hit the floor before reacting. Keep moving and spread them out so they don’t cluster together.

Hilarious moment: Someone always panics and ends up whacking a balloon across the room. 

Suck It Up

You use a straw to suck up small candies (like M&Ms) and move them to another plate. You can only release them once they’re directly over the target. Sounds simple, but after a few rounds, your cheeks will be burning.

Pro tip: Go for a thinner straw, it helps with control. And take deep breaths before you start, so you don’t run out of air too quickly.

Surprising moment: Some people accidentally inhale an M&M instead of moving it. (Don’t worry, they usually just end up laughing.)

Penny Tower

Stack as many pennies as you can in one minute using just one hand. It sounds easy, but once you get to 15 or 20, your tower gets super wobbly. And everyone around super curious.

Team Challenges

Junk in the Trunk

This game gets everyone moving and laughing. You strap an empty tissue box filled with ping pong balls to a player’s waist. They have to shake out all the balls in under a minute, without using their hands.

Pro tip: Use a tight belt or ribbon to keep the box secure. You can hint the players to bend and shake their hips side to side, but most of the time, they just keep jumping up and down.

Funniest moment: Someone always takes the challenge way too seriously and ends up looking like they’re dancing at a concert.

Cup Stack Relay

Make a stack of cups as a tower or pyramid at the starting point. Each player will unstack the cups and stack again, then run to tag the next player to repeat it. The first team to finish wins.

Pro tip: Keep the cups stacked neatly before passing them. If they fall, it wastes time. A light touch is better than rushing and knocking them over.

Competitive twist: Try it blindfolded and have teammates verbally guide each other.

M&M Sort

Each player gets a bowl of mixed M&Ms and must sort them by color into separate cups using one hand. The person with the most sorted candies in a minute wins.

Pro tip: Instead of grabbing one M&M at a time, use your fingers to slide them into groups firs, it’s faster.

Surprising challenge: Some people get so focused that they forget to stop sorting when time’s up.

Paper Airplane Toss

Players make a paper airplane and try to land it in a target area (like a laundry basket) from a set distance. Whoever gets the most in wins.

Pro tip: Simple designs fly best. A plane with sharp folds and a pointed tip usually glides further.

Fun challenge: Have different-sized targets worth different points for extra strategy.

Water Bottle Flip

A classic challenge where players try to flip a half-full water bottle and land it upright. Whoever lands the most flips in a minute wins.

Pro tip: Fill the bottle one-third full for the best balance. A soft flick works better than a hard throw.

Tense moment: When someone gets super close but the bottle wobbles and falls right at the last second.

Competitive Head-to-Head Games

Movin’ On Up

The game starts with a stack of 39 red cups and 1 blue cup at the bottom. The goal is to move the blue cup to the top by taking the top red cup and placing it at the bottom, one at a time, as fast as possible. Pro tip: Keep a steady rhythm and don’t rush too much, or the stack will wobble and fall. Fun challenge: Try doing it one-handed for an extra difficulty boost.

Chopstick Pickup

Using chopsticks, players must transfer small objects like marshmallows, beads, or gummy bears from one bowl to another in under a minute. The person who moves the most wins. Pro tip: Hold the chopsticks closer to the tip for better control. If you’re not great with chopsticks, try squeezing them like tweezers instead. Funny moment: Someone always drops half their pile right before the timer runs out.

Noodling Around

Players hold a piece of uncooked spaghetti in their mouth and try to pick up six pieces of dry penne pasta using only the spaghetti, no hands allowed. Pro tip: Move slow and steady so the spaghetti doesn’t break. Keep your head level and don’t bite down too hard. Most intense moment: When the spaghetti snaps right when someone is about to get their last piece.

Stack It High

Players must stack 10 dice on top of a popsicle stick held in their mouth before the timer runs out. Pro tip: Start stacking on a flat surface first, then carefully lift the popsicle stick to your mouth to keep it steady. Unexpected challenge: Someone laughs too hard, and their whole stack falls over.

Ping Pong Bounce

Players bounce ping pong balls off a table and into a series of cups. The goal is to land as many balls in the cups as possible before time runs out. Pro tip: Aim for short, controlled bounces instead of launching the ball too high. Lighter tosses give you better accuracy. Best moment: When someone nails three in a row and suddenly thinks they’re a pro.

Speed Challenges

Spoon Frog

This game always gets everyone cheering. You take a spoon, place it on the edge of a table with the handle sticking out, and use another spoon to press down on the handle. The goal is to catapult the first spoon into a cup placed a few feet away. Pro tip: Don’t smack the spoon too hard, or it will go flying across the room. A quick, controlled press works best. Best moment is when someone completely misses the cup, and the spoon lands in someone’s drink instead.

Puddle Jumper

This one is simple but trickier than it looks. Players blow a ping pong ball across a row of water cups to get it from one end to the other without it falling off. Pro tip: Short, quick puffs of air work better than one long blow. If you go too hard, the ball will skip too fast and fall off. The funniest part is watching someone get lightheaded from blowing too hard and still missing the last cup.

Tweeze Me

You use tweezers to pick up tiny objects like Tic Tacs or small beads and move them into another container before time runs out. Sounds easy, but the pressure makes hands shaky. Pro tip: Hold the tweezers closer to the tip for better control, and don’t rush, steady hands win this game.Most frustrating moment: When you drop one last piece, and it rolls off the table.

Egg Roll

Players must blow an egg across the floor to a finish line, using only their breath. No hands allowed. Pro tip: Keep your head low and blow gently so the egg doesn’t roll sideways. If it starts to wobble, move to the side to adjust. Biggest struggle: The egg never rolls in a straight line, so half the time, players are chasing it all over the room

Nose Dive

Each player dips their nose into a little bit of petroleum jelly, then tries to pick up a cotton ball using only their nose and move it to another plate. No hands allowed. Pro tip: A light touch works better than smashing your face into the cotton ball. If you pick up too many at once, they might fall before you reach the plate. Hilarious moment: Watching everyone wiggle their noses like bunnies trying to make the cotton ball stick.

Balance Challenges

Cereal Box Puzzle

This one seems simple but can get difficult. You can cut the front of a cereal box into six to ten pieces and mix them up. Players must reassemble the pieces into the original picture before time runs out. To make it difficult you can make more pieces.Pro tip: Start by finding the edges first. It’s way easier to build inward than trying to figure out random pieces.

Stack ‘Em Up

Players must stack 25 pennies into a single tower using only one hand. Sounds easy, right? but as the stack grows your fingers start shaking under pressure. To make it difficult you can increase the pennies to 30 or more. It gets really funny when the whole stack tipping over when someone places their final penny.

Balloon Blow

Each player gets a balloon and must blow it up and use the air inside to push a cup across the table to the finish line. A Pro tip, short bursts of air give better control. If you blow too hard, the cup might fly off the table. The wild directions the cups go in, making it look like everyone’s playing a different game.

Soda Can Balance

A half-full soda can must be tilted at an angle and balanced on its bottom edge without tipping over. Whoever keeps it up the longest wins.Pro tip: Drink exactly half the soda for the best weight distribution. Too much or too little liquid makes balancing nearly impossible.Biggest challenge: Holding your breath while trying not to make even the slightest movement.

Penny Bridge

Using only 30 pennies, players must build a bridge between two stacks of books that can hold at least one additional penny on top without collapsing.Pro tip: Layer the pennies like bricks instead of stacking them straight up. A wide base makes it sturdier. Most intense moment: That final penny being placed, while everyone watches in suspense, waiting to see if the bridge holds.

Funny & Wacky Challenges

Jelly Donut on a String

Nothing gets a crowd laughing like watching people try to eat a swinging donut with no hands. Tie a jelly donut to a string and hang it from a doorway or have someone hold it. Players must eat the entire donut before time runs out. Pro tip: Go slow and steady, if you chomp too fast, the donut will swing away, and you’ll be left chewing air. It gets funny when someone bites too hard, and half the donut smacks them in the face with powdered sugar flying everywhere.

Wrap It Up

Players must wrap their partner like a mummy using a full roll of toilet paper before the timer runs out. The first team to use the whole roll wins. Pro tip: Start at the feet and work your way up. If you start at the top, the paper will slip down. Best part: Watching people try to waddle around like mummies without their wrapping falling apart.

Marshmallow Mouth

Each player stuffs one marshmallow at a time into their mouth while clearly saying a funny phrase like “chubby bunny” after each one. The person who fits the most before mumbling too much wins. Pro tip: Push the marshmallows into the sides of your mouth instead of straight back, which gives you extra space. Funniest moment: When someone tries to say the phrase with a completely stuffed mouth and everyone bursts into laughter.

Gummy Bear Toss

One player tosses gummy bears into their teammate’s mouth from a few feet away. The team with the most catches in one minute wins. Pro tip: Use underhand throws for better aim and tell the catcher to keep their mouth wide open and eyes locked on the gummy bear. Most exciting part: When someone goes for a crazy dive to catch a gummy that was about to hit the floor.

Balloon Pop Relay

Each team must run to a chair, sit on a balloon, and pop it before running back to tag their next teammate. The first team to pop all their balloons wins. Pro tip: Sit fast and lean forward for the quickest pop, don’t just plop down and hope for the best. It’s funny when someone bounces three times, and the balloon still won’t pop.

Skill Challenges

Card Ninja

This one makes everyone feel like a ninja, until they realize how hard it is. Players must flick playing cards one by one at a foam board, trying to get them to stick. It gets really funny when someone throws all their cards and not a single one even comes close to sticking. Pro tip: Hold the card by the short edge and flick it with a quick snap of your wrist for the best spin.

Match Maker

Make a big pile of multi-colored candies or buttons onto the table. Players must sort and match them by color using only one hand before the timer runs out. The one who do is fastest or maximum is the winner. Most intense moment: Racing against the clock, knowing you only have a few left to sort.

Word Scramble

Before the game, prepare random scrambled words on index cards. Players must unscramble as many words as possible before time runs out. It gets fun and loud when people shout out wild guesses  when they’re completely stumped.

Dice Stack on a Spoon

Each player must balance a spoon in their mouth and stack dice on it one by one without dropping them. The tallest stack wins. The most hilarious moment is when someone’s stack is almost done, and then one tiny shake makes the whole thing fall.

Fast Fingers

Place a cup filled with small things like paper clips or beads on the table. Players must sort them as many as possible into another cup with only one hand. It looks simple but when  When someone tries to speed through, the small items keep slipping out of their fingers.
