15+ Hilarious Peeps Games Your Family and Friends Will Love

Snoozing through another humdrum Easter or family game night?

Let’s face it – the classic egg hunts and candy binges get old fast. You’ve dyed eggs so many ways they should have their own rainbow by now.

This year, shake things up with Peeptastic games that turn marshmallowy sweetness into hours of sticky entertainment.

No more ho-hum holidays!

I’ve gathered the best-of-the-Peeps activities to transform boring into dazzling.

Prepare for sugar-fueled fun.

1. Peeps Posing Scavenger Hunt

“This is the only time it’s socially acceptable to take a Peep into the bathroom for a photoshoot.”

Objective: Complete as many photo challenges as possible, featuring the player’s assigned Peep in various activities and locations.

Materials: a list of photo challenges, a Peep for each player

Setup: Havea diverse list of photo challenges printed out for each player (or team), ranging from simple tasks to more adventurous ones. Assign a Peep to each player, which they will use as their companion for the photos.

Gameplay:

• Players attempt to complete as many challenges as possible within a set timeframe.
• Each completed challenge must be documented with a photo of the Peep in the scenario described.

Variations for More Fun:

1. Themed Hunts: Make each scavenger hunt follow a specific theme, like holidays, movie genres, or decades.
2. Digital Twist: Use photo editing apps to place your Peep in impossible or hilarious situations digitally.
3. Partner Up: Pair each player with a buddy (human or another Peep) to complete challenges that require teamwork or interaction.

2. Who Ate the Peeps?

“The only sport I’ll go pro in involves eating Peeps without hands.”

Objective: to be the first player to completely eat a Peep candy with your hands behind your back.

Materials: 1 box of Peeps, plates

Setup: Give each player one Peep candy and place on plates in front of them. All players must put their hands behind their backs before starting

Gameplay:

• On the count of 3, players attempt to fully eat their Peep without using their hands
• The first player to completely finish their Peep wins

Variations

• Peep Race: Give each player 3-5 Peeps and see who can eat them the fastest in 1 minute
• Blindfolded: Blindfold players to make it even more challenging
• Team Peeps: Break into teams and have players take turns eating Peeps to see which team finishes first

3. Peeps War

“In the game of Peeps, you win or you dye (your fingers with sugar).”

Objective: Line up marshmallow Peeps and use plastic eggs as projectiles to knock them off tables. Be the last one with an upright Peep to win this sweet battle.

Materials Needed: at leastt 7 Marshmallow Peeps for each player, plastic Easter eggs

Set Up: Stand Peeps along the edges of tables in front of players. Give each player 3-5 plastic eggs to throw.

Gameplay: On “Go!” toss your plastic eggs, aiming to knock opponent’s Peeps over the edge one by one. If your Peep gets hit and falls, you’re out! Quick throws and sharp aim will win.

4. Pile of Peeps Game

“Finally, a socially acceptable way to play with your food.”

Objective: Players take turns adding Peeps to a central pile without causing the pile to collapse. The person who causes the collapse is out.

Materials: flat bunny Peeps (easier to stack than the chick variants), a coaster for the base of the pile

Setup: Place the coaster in the middle of the table as the starting point of the pile. Make sure there’s enough there’s enough Peeps for all players.

Gameplay:

• Players take turns placing a Peep on top of the pile, carefully trying not to disturb the existing structure.
• The game continues until the pile collapses.
• The player who causes the collapse is out, and the game restarts with the remaining players, until there’s only one player left.

Variations:

1. Blindfold Challenge: Players must add their Peep to the pile while blindfolded, relying on memory and spatial awareness.
2. Time Trial: Introduce a timer or stopwatch for each turn, forcing players to act quickly, which adds pressure and increases the difficulty.
3. Element of Chance: Use a dice roll to determine from what height the player must drop their Peep onto the pile, adding unpredictability to each turn.

5. Peeps Face

“Face yoga: Peeps edition.”

Objective: Move a marshmallow Peep from your forehead to your mouth using only your facial muscles and head movements.

Materials: Marshmallow Peeps (preferably the flat, chick-shaped ones for easier handling)

Setup: Each player gets one marshmallow Peep. Make sure players are seated or standing in a clear area to avoid injuries from potential slipping or falling.

Gameplay:

1. Position the Peep: The player places the marshmallow Peep on their forehead. The position should be such that the Peep is flat against the skin, right above the eyebrows.
2. Start the Timer: On the word “Go,” start the one-minute timer. This is when the player begins attempting to move the Peep.
3. Move the Peep: Without using their hands, the player must use their facial muscles, such as raising eyebrows, scrunching the forehead, or tilting the head back, to slide the Peep down their face towards their mouth.
4. No Hands Allowed: Players are not allowed to touch the Peep with their hands at any point during the attempt. If the Peep falls off the face, the player must place it back on the forehead and start over.
5. Winning: The goal is to get the Peep into the mouth and eat it within one minute. The player must not use any part of their hands to aid in this process.

6. Peeps Basket Toss

“Aiming for the basket, landing in my mouth. Close enough.”

Objective: The aim is to score as many points as possible by tossing marshmallow Peeps into baskets or cups of various sizes, with smaller targets scoring higher points.

Materials: a pack of Peeps, a paddle or similar tossing tool (you could probably use a sturdy paper plate in a pinch), baskets or smaller weighted cups of different sizes for scoring

Setup: arrange the baskets or cups at varying distances, assigning point values based on their size and difficulty to target, mark a tossing line 10 feet away from the targets, ech player gets 5 Peeps to play with.

Gameplay:

• Players take turns standing behind the tossing line, using the paddle to launch their Peeps toward the baskets.
• Each player tries to get their Peeps into the targets within a set time limit or using a designated number of Peeps.
• Points are tallied based on the difficulty of the baskets the Peeps land in.

Variations for More Fun:

1. Night Mode: Play the game in the evening with glow-in-the-dark Peeps or baskets to add a visually exciting challenge.
2. Obstacle Course: Set up obstacles between the tossing line and the baskets that players have to toss their Peeps over or around.
3. Team Relay: Make it a team effort where each player tosses one Peep and then passes the paddle to the next teammate, racing against the clock for a cumulative score.

7. Peeps Pop a Squat

“Fitness goal: Be able to squat without losing my Peeps.”

Materials: marshmallow Peeps, open space

Setup:

• Place one Peep on the floor by your feet for each participant.
• Participants start with another Peep balanced on their head.

Gameplay:

1. When the game starts, you’ve got to squat down and pick up the Peep from the floor. Sounds easy? Well, you’ve got to do this without letting the Peep on your head fall off.
2. Once you’ve picked up the floor Peep, stand back up and add it to the one already on your head. Now, balance both!
3. Keep repeating this action. Each time, add the newly picked Peep to the ones on your head.

8. Peep ‘n Point

“Marshmallow mumbles: the new secret language.”

Objective: Stuff your mouth with Peeps and try to say another player’s name clearly enough so that the others can guess who you’re naming.

Materials: a bunch of marshmallow Peeps, a big group of people to play

Setup: everyone sits or stands in a circle, facing each other.

Gameplay:

1. The first brave soul shoves Peeps into their mouth—one after another—until they’re cheek-puffed and bursting with Peeps.
2. Then, they attempt to say another player’s name. It’s not as easy as it sounds with a mouthful of marshmallow!
3. On the count of three, everyone else points to who they think was named.
4. If you point to the wrong person, you’re out. If you guess right, you stay in for the next round.
5. Keep going clockwise, with each player taking turns to stuff and say, until only one winner remains.

Variations:

1. Peep Charades: Instead of saying names, the stuffed-mouth player quotes a movie phrase for others to guess.
2. Peep Whisper: Turn it into a silent game where the player with Peeps tries to mouth the name without making a sound, adding a lip-reading challenge.

9. Peeps Posing Diorama

“Where marshmallows meet art history.”

13. Bobbing for Peeps

“Bobbing for Peeps: Because dignity has no place here.”

3. Hoppin’ Hunt: Add obstacle courses the blindfolded seeker must navigate with teammate guidance
4. Dizzy Dash: Seekers could be spinning in circles or hopping on one foot to disorient before seeking

15. Peeps Jousting Game

“Microwave: The arena. Peeps: The gladiators.”

Materials: a pack of Peeps (one for each participant), toothpicks, icrowave-safe plate, microwave

Setup: Give each Peep a jousting stick by inserting a toothpick into the front of it. Position two Peeps facing each other on a microwave-safe plate, with their toothpicks pointing forward like jousting lances. Make sure there’s a small gap between the two Peeps to allow them to expand towards each other.

Gameplay:

• Place the plate with the Peeps in the microwave.
• Set the microwave for a short time (usually 20-30 seconds should suffice, but keep an eye on them).

• The Peep left standing or less damaged is declared the winner.

16. Peeps Flinging Frenzy a.k.a Peeps Catapault

Materials: craft sticks or popsicle sticks to build catapults, a pack of Peeps candy, 3-4 Easter baskets or buckets as targets, index cards and marker for scoring
