Minute To Win It Top 20 Countdown
#1 – Mad Dog
It’s finally here, our #1 Minute To Win It game! We ranked Mad Dog #1 using our four criteria: Visual Appeal, Simplicity of Set-Up, Difficulty of Game & Fun Factor. This game checks the mark at all the right places. While the game is wildly entertaining, it is also quite simple to set up, but not to difficult to play. We recently played the game, and it was great!
Mad Dog Materials
How to Play Mad Dog
1) Secure breath mint boxes to the ends of the ruler so they stand lengthwise.
2) Remove piece of the lid so that opening is unobstructed.
3) When the clock starts, player picks up the ruler with their mouth and begins to move their head in an attempt to empty both boxes of mints.
4) To complete the game, player must empty both mint boxes within the 60-second time limit.
Mad Dog Bonus Tips

Hi Dave,
I love those suggestions! While we have several other games in the pipeline for the summer, we will definitely put together a list of games featuring no expense games and/or little to no set-up/clean-up. Thanks again for the input!

How many contestants would you recommend playing this game & would you suggest they all go at the same time or each one separately?
Hi Amanda! I love playing with 4, but I’ve seen it done with two as well. If you go with only two, I would make sure they are two outgoing/fun personalities to make sure the crowd is engaged. Hope this helps!
