- Customizable competition: Play individually, in teams, tournament-style. Works for any group’s vibe.

1. Stacking Egg Halves
Test your dexterity by stacking the jagged edges of plastic Easter eggs. Whoever builds the tallest tower before the timer runs out wins.
Is “Dude, how many ping pong balls did I get in the cup?” bringing your game nights down?

2. Tart Tower
I’ll admit, the concept of a Pop Tart stacking contest sounded nuts. But try getting 20 of those bad boys stacked blindfolded while the whole room cheers you on. What. A. Rush. Seriously!
To keep things fair, the tower should stay upright for at least 10 seconds after the one minute timer has gone off.
3. Egg and Straw Race
You gotta blow a plastic egg down the line into a goal using only a straw. No lung power, no prize.
4. Egg Color Match
You’ve gotta group up scattered eggs of different colors before that buzzer goes off.
Got a color blind guest? Being color blind’ll make Egg Color Match much, much harder. They’ll end up grouping colors that don’t match and slowing down to figure out if somethig’s green or blue or whatever. Mark the eggs with shapes or patterns instead of just relying on patterns. That levels the playing field, so those guests wouldn’t be at a distadvantage.
5. Egg Roll
You race to roll an egg to the finish line – without breaking it. Oh, and you can’t use your hands.
| Game | Objective | Equipment Needed | Skills Tested | Tips & Variations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stacking Egg Halves | Build the tallest tower of plastic egg halves | Plastic Easter eggs | Dexterity, balance | Use different sized eggs; pair teams |
| Tart Tower | Stack as many Pop Tarts as possible in 1 minute | Pop Tarts | Speed, balance | Allow toothpicks for stability |
| Egg & Straw Race | Blow an egg through a goal using only a straw | Plastic eggs, straws | Aim, breath control | Switch up goal distance; have relays |
| Egg Color Match | Sort scattered eggs by color quickly | Colored plastic eggs | Speed, visual matching | Add more colors or egg styles |
| Egg Roll | Roll an egg to a finish line hands-free | Eggs, start/end markers | Aim, gentle breaths | Place obstacles or barriers |
6. PEEPs Tower
How high you can stack those sugary little chicks before they come tumbling down. Careful though, it gets wobbly fast. Maybe break out the toothpicks to reinforce?
7. PEEPs in a Nest
Maneuvering the peeps with chopsticks and trying to plop them into a basket? Sounds easy til you’re battling a marshmallow with two wooden sticks. Dexterity at its finest.
Wanna Crank Up the Heat on Those Minute to Win It Challenges?
- Slash That Timer: When you’ve got 30 seconds – instead of 1 minute – to somehow stack 12 cups using one hand? Wow-weee! Whole different ballgame.
- Go Southpaw: Making everyone attempt normally easy stuff with their non-dominant hand? Delightful chaos.
- Blindfold That Biz: Take away their sight and suddenly every activity requires freakish levels of concentration. It’s wild to witness.
- Miniaturize Those Props: Tiny little ping pong balls and thimble-sized cups? Now we’re talking precision and dexterity.
- Invent New Rules: No hands? No repeating steps? Think outside the box and watch your guests’ brains melt as they figure out fresh workarounds on the fly.
It’s all about balancing that fun-tough sweet spot, you know? Add difficulty gradually ’til you land on challenges that are juuuust outside everyone’s comfort zone. Then you’re golden.
8. Jelly Bean Scoop
Oh man, Jelly Bean Scoop destroys me every time. Attempting to move beans from one bowl to another? With a spoon you can ONLY hold in your mouth? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at how quick things go off the rails.
Wanna Learn a Little More?
Easter games, right? I kinda nerd out on that topic in another recent post called 30 Hilarious Easter Game Ideas for Adults (Unleash the Fun). Give it a read if you want the extended director’s cut.
9. Candy Face
Okay, so this one is pretty similar of Cookie Face – another fun minute to win it game. Slap a jelly bean or a Peep up there and contort your face muscles to land it in your mouth. So wrong, yet so right.
10. Flying Peeps
Send Peeps flying across the room with plastic spoons as mini catapults. Can you get it into the Easter basket on the other side of the room?
| Game | Objective | Equipment | Skills | Tips & Variations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peeps Tower | Stack Peeps as high as possible | Marshmallow Peeps | Balance, speed | Use base for stability |
| Peeps in a Nest | Transfer Peeps into nest with chopsticks | Peeps, chopsticks, nest container | Dexterity, aim | Pair teams; nest could be a basket |
| Jelly Bean Scoop | Transfer jelly beans spoon held in mouth | Jelly beans, 2 small bowls | Tongue-to-spoon coordination | Choose different item sizes – M&Ms easier? |
| Candy Face | Get candy from forehead to mouth using facial muscles | Jelly bean/Peep, timer | Facial control, balance | Tilting head can help gravity |
| Flying Peeps | Catapult Peeps into basket across the room | Peeps, plastic spoon, basket | Aim, force calibration | Switch up the distance distance, target size |
11. Peeps War
Load up your straws and take aim. You get a point for every Peep you manage to blow your across the enemy lines. But, you’re gonna have to watch out – return fire’ll be coming your way.
12. Stretch a Peep
With this you can see how stretchy you can get a Peep without it snapping in two. I swear these things are part flubber with how wild they contort and still bounce back. I’m talking inches longer than when you started.
13. Jelly Bean War
If Peeps aren’t your style, why not a Jelly Bean War? Divide the table with masking tape. Put 20 jellybeans in the center of the table. Blow as many jelly beans as possible to the other side of the table (a.k.a “enemy territory”) – with. a. straw.
14. Bunny Bowling
How ’bout an Easter twist on classic bowling? Replace pins with carrot-shaped bottles and roll a ball to strike them down.
15. Sharp Shooter
How to play: Using your hands and rubber bands shoot three plastic Easter eggs off of stools.
| Game | Objective | Equipment Needed | Skills | Tips & Variations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peeps War | Blow Peeps across lines with straws | Peeps, straws, boundary maker | Aim, breath control | Change up boundary distance |
| Stretch a Peep | Stretch a Peep without breaking it | Peeps, ruler | Dexterity, pressure gauging | Compare pulling, twisting motions |
| Jelly Bean War | Blow jelly beans over line with straws | 20 jelly beans, straws, tape boundary | Aim, breath power | Add more beans during play |
| Bunny Bowling | Knock down “pin” bottles with ball | Carrot bottles, ball | Aim, rolling | Mix up bottle shapes and sizes |
| Sharp Shooter | Shoot eggs off stools with rubber bands | Eggs, rubber bands, stools | Aim, shooting force | Adjust shooting distance |
16. Jelly Bean Toss
Grab some buckets and race to flick the most beans in before the timer buzzes. I recommend some practice shots first.
17. Balance an Egg (A Cadbury One, That is)
Balance that Cadbury egg on your head while moseying from start to finish. Just a friendly tip – do this friendly challenge INSIDE where it’s air conditioned unless you wanna be wearing that chocolate. Not a good look.
Unless you want a mess on your hands, use a WRAPPED Cadbury Egg.
18. Bunny Tail Drop
Perch yourself on a chair, hold the cotton ball (ahem, bunny tail) to your nose, and take aim, drop it right into the bucket. Warning – gravity and depth perception get real wonky up there.
19. Egg Dance
Balance two, raw eggs on separate flat circular pizza pans held in each hand while shuffling to a finish line.
Ummm, you definitely want to do this one outside. It’s gonna be a messy one.
Make it into a relay race. Line teams up behind a start line, 25 feet from the finish. Hand Player 1 the pizza pans with balanced eggs. Yell “Go!” – first racers hustle while keeping eggs intact. *fingers crossed* When they reach the finish, pass pans and eggs to next teammate. Continue till all teammates complete a flawless run. First done wins.
20. Separation Anxiety
Separate a mixed bowl of Easter treats into individual containers — only one item at a time. It’ll bring out the OCD in your.
| Game | Objective | Equipment Needed | Skills Tested | Tips & Variations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jelly Bean Toss | Toss beans in bucket | Beans, buckets, timer | Aim, speed | Play solo, teams, or races |
| Balance Egg | Balance Cadbury egg while walking | Cadbury egg | Balance, posture | Vary terrain, egg size |
| Bunny Tail Drop | Drop cotton balls into bucket from height | Cotton balls, bucket, stand | Aim, depth perception | Adjust bucket distance/size |
| Separation Anxiety | Sort treats one at a time | Mixed treats, containers | Memory, organization | Categorize by type/color |
| Egg Dance | Balance eggs on pans while walking | Eggs, pizza pans | Balance control, steadiness | Play solo or add relay concept |
