17 Hilarious New Year’s Eve Minute To Win It Games For All Ages

New Year’s Eve is all about having a blast, right? So why not add some hilarious Minute to Win It games to the mix? These games are quick, easy, and perfect for adults and kids alike. We played some of these last year, and let me tell you, watching everyone scramble to beat the clock was priceless! Here’s a list of 17 games that’ll keep everyone entertained until the clock strikes midnight.

How to Play Minute to Win It Games

These games can be played in three fun ways, depending on your group size and vibe:

• Man vs. Clock: Each player tries to complete the challenge in under a minute.
• Head-to-Head: Two players race to complete the challenge first.
• Team Style: Team members compete in rounds, and the winning team gets bragging rights!

Adjust any game to make it easier or harder—whatever makes it more fun for your crew!

1. Confetti Pop

Supplies: Balloons, confetti, and tape

How to Play: Fill a balloon with confetti and tape it to a chair. Each player must pop the balloon using only their knees—no hands allowed! We tried this last year, and it was a blast seeing who could pop it the fastest without sliding off the chair!

2. Ball Drop Zone

Supplies: Ping pong balls and cups

How to Play: Each player has one minute to drop ping pong balls from a chair into a cup below. Whoever lands the most balls in the cup wins! It’s harder than it looks, especially after a few rounds of laughter.

3. Sparkling Ring Toss

Supplies: Plastic tiaras or rings and empty bottles

How to Play: Set up some bottles and give each player a tiara or ring. They have to toss the rings onto the bottles to score. My cousin Dana nailed it on her first try, which was pretty impressive!

4. Resolution Balloon Pop

Supplies: Balloons, small slips of paper with resolutions written on them

How to Play: Write down resolutions on small paper slips, place one in each balloon, and blow them up. Players have to pop the balloons using only their bodies (no hands) and find the resolution hidden inside.

5. New Year’s Noisemaker Race

Supplies: Small plastic balls and New Year’s noisemakers

How to Play: Using only a noisemaker, players must move a small ball across a table into a goal. First to reach the end wins! We laughed so hard watching everyone blow their way to victory.

6. Auld Lang Slide

Supplies: Socks, a slippery floor, and a start/finish line

How to Play: Each player slides across the floor on their knees or stomach to reach the finish line. The fastest slider wins. Perfect for anyone with a super smooth floor!

7. Ring in the New Year (With Cookies)

Supplies: Cookies

How to Play: Players place a cookie on their forehead and try to get it to their mouth without using their hands. We had everyone cracking up as cookies fell all over the place!

8. Champagne Popcorn Toss
