Cookin' Up Creations

Two contestants, one a returning champion, competed. The game began with the champion stopping three spinning windows, set up in a triangular fashion, by hitting a plunger in front of him/her. The top two windows contained eight different categories—four in each window—with dollar amounts ranging from $50 to $200, representing the value of each question in the category. The bottom window was the contract window, and displayed numbers from one to five as well as a bullseye.

When the windows stopped spinning, the contestant chose either of the displayed categories, and had to fulfill the contract by correctly answering the number of questions indicated in the contract window. Each correct answer added the dollar value of the category to a pot. The bullseye represented an unlimited contract, which allowed the contestant who spun it to continue answering questions as long as he/she desired. If a contestant answered incorrectly at any point, the opponent was given a chance to take control of the contract with a right answer. An incorrect answer on a bullseye immediately ended the contract, but the opponent could still take control by giving the correct response. If both contestants missed the same question, it was thrown out and control reverted to the contestant who had originally tried to answer it. The contestant who completed the contract could choose to bank the money in the pot and give up control of the next spin to the opponent, or leave the money in the pot and spin again.

Such a cute page! My girls used to like to play bean-boozled. Great idea for a bulls-eye themed project.

Wonderful example for this! Not sure if I have anything that actually spins. If not, could I use a sticker of something that's supposed to spin, like a wind spinner or a fan?

Can be anything that spins...a Ferris wheel, a top, a child, a turntable, a dancer

You can also turn anything into a spinner with a brad in the middle.

Thank you! I'll see what I can come up with!

I was looking for a game spinner I know I have and I ran into this!
