17 April 2025

Back to all articles

We have scoured the seven kingdoms to bring you our 10 favourite crazy event games you can incorporate into your next fundraising event! And the countdown is….. *drumroll*

Event Game 10: Separation Anxiety

You have one minute, with one hand behind your back, to sort as many colours as possible!

Event Game 9: Oreo Game

There is absolutely no way to look elegant when playing the Oreo game! You have to get the Oreo from your forehead into your mouth with no hands! First to finish is the winner!

Event Game 8: Jingle in the Trunk

This one is hilarious. Attach an open tissue box to a belt and fill it with ping pong balls. The wearer must shake their booty until it is empty!

Event Game 7: Flip Tac Toe

This one is simple to organise but I can imagine it would be pretty funny! There are a few different ways this can be played too – watch the video to find out!

Event Game 6: Back-to-Back Balloon Race

Holding a balloon between two people facing away from each other, you need to get to the other end first without dropping any of the balloons and without using your hands!

Event Game 5: Roll the Loo Paper Game

This one is super easy and so much fun! Fill a plastic cup with water and place it on the end of an unfurled toilet roll. Test first to see what volume of water will be a challenge but also achievable. Then let the races begin!

Event Game 4: Paper Plane Throwing Comp

It's an oldie but a goodie - no video required! Have people write their name on their piece of paper so it's easy to figure out who the winner is!

Event Game 3: Stocking on Head/ Water Bottle Game

I love this one! It is a very portable game so can be easily set up anywhere. Wear a stocking on your head with a tennis ball on the end, and race to knock the row of water bottles over first!

Event Game 2: Spaghetti Challenge

Take a bundle of spaghetti and either a roll of masking tape OR a bunch of marshmallows and get each team to build the tallest spaghetti tower possible in a fixed time frame (eg 3 minutes).

Event Game 1: Human Hungry Hungry Hippo

Skateboards, laundry baskets, lots of balls (plus I would suggest helmets!!!) and you have a hilarious game for your next fundraising event!
