This fun and spooky game involves searching for toy eyeballs buried in a bowl of cold, wet spaghetti noodles. Players are blindfolded and have one minute to collect as many eyeballs as possible, with options for head-to-head competition or team play. Perfect for Halloween parties, it's easy to set up with simple materials like spaghetti, eyeballs, and a timer.
You'll need
Directions
- Fill a large bowl with cooked, drained spaghetti noodles (these represent brains).
- Bury the toy eyeballs deep into the spaghetti.
- When ready, place the bowl on a table covered with a plastic tablecloth.
- Blindfold each player with an eye mask or towel so they can't see.
- Set a timer for 1 minute.
- Players dig through the noodles to find as many eyeballs as they can within the time limit.
- After each round, return the eyeballs to the bowl and add more water if the noodles have dried out.
- Continue taking turns until every player has had a chance.
- Keep a tally; the player who collects the most eyeballs in their minute wins.
- For a head-to-head version, set up two or more bowls and let players compete simultaneously, still using 1-minute rounds.
- Teams can race to be the first to find all eyeballs, or see which team has the most when time expires.
- Track which team wins each round and add up the totals at the end.
- For an extra-challenging version, use two giant buckets or storage tubs with about 10 pounds of noodles and many eyeballs each.
- Teams race to find all eyeballs first or compete to have the most when time runs out.
