Time to let the games begin!
Well it seems a little hard to believe that some of you have not seen Minute to Win It on NBC, but here is their official website.
The game show is comprised of tasks that must be completed within a minute for you to move on to the next round. We will not be moving on to new rounds, but instead we will be keeping score. We are planning to do 6 or 7 rounds in the main competition and then have a best out of 3 for the championship. Everyone will be timed as they attempt the task in a given round. The team with the fastest time will receive 3 points. The second fastest 2, and the third fastest 1. To get any points, you must complete the game within the minute. We will have a fancy scoreboard set up for sure!
Teams will be comprised of the couples. Come up with a team name - which you let me know for the scoreboard - and dress accordingly, if you wish.
We will set up a game version for the kids as well so they can have their own competition...
As for the games - the fun part! We will select 6 games that we will have "equipment" for at the house. Every other couple needs to select a game from the show's website. The list of games is located here. For example, here is the blueprint for one of the games that we will include - Stack Attack! Each of the games has the equipment listed that you need to play it. For the game your family chooses, please be sure to verify that we have the necessary materials to play it or be sure to bring them for the festivities. Everyone needs to have their game posted to the blog by July 1st. That way we will have the 10 games selected and everyone can practice - if they so desire. We do plan to try and do most of the games inside if possible, so please keep that in mind...
On game night, the order will be randomly determined by drawing the games out of the hat. No team member can do more than 2 games in a row, so that way each one has to play at least twice. There will be a wonderful trophy complete with engraving for the winning team to keep until next year's games!
If you have any questions, please let me know. Otherwise, pick your games wisely and be prepared to have some fun!
