Pumpkin Roll Party Game

Set up a tape grid with prizes at the end of each lane. Players take turns rolling a small pumpkin; landing in a lane wins the prize or lets them risk it later, while three strikes eliminate them. Optional final round lets winners gamble for a bigger prize.

Directions

  1. Lay down tape on the floor to create a grid of lanes, each wide enough for a pumpkin to rest inside. Extend the lines across the floor but stop before the far end.
  2. Place a prize at the end of each lane. Put smaller, less exciting prizes in the front lanes and the best prize at the very last lane.
  3. Decide the rolling order. Shuffle players randomly to keep the game fair.
  4. Players take turns rolling a small pumpkin from behind the starting line toward the grid. If the pumpkin stops completely inside a lane without touching any tape line, that player can either take the prize at the end of that lane and exit the game, or refuse the prize, take a strike, and rejoin the line for another attempt. If the pumpkin lands outside the grid, on a line, or in a lane with no prize, the player receives a strike and moves to the back of the line.
  5. Anyone who accumulates three strikes is eliminated with no prize. The game continues until every player is either out (three strikes) or has claimed a prize.
  6. Optional final round: Allow players who already won a prize to risk it by rolling again for a chance at a bigger prize. If their roll lands in a lane with a prize, they win that new prize. Otherwise they forfeit all prizes and leave empty-handed.
