Wheel O’ Doom (aka Wheel of Misfortune)

The Wheel O’ Doom is a wheel you can make out of a couple of 2x4s on a stand with a round piece of wood spinning on a loose bolt at the top of the 2×4’s. Basically a home-made wheel of fortune with enough room on the circle to put about 8 “pie pieces” with different descriptions of activities written on them. Spin the wheel and a little pointer should point to a given pie piece when the wheel stops spinning.

“It’s time for the Wheel O’ Doom – Who wants to be the first to give it a try? Alright, step right up and what you land on is what you do!”

Choices Were:

Baby Bottle Suck
Raw Egg
Baby Food
Coke Chug
Spam for Snow Trip
Hot Pepper
Cracker Whistle
Fast Food With Staff

We’d bring a contestant up, spin the wheel, and they’d do that activity. Sometimes they got to choose someone to do it with them. Great fun and a great way to make students really earn prizes!

Young Life Variation:
Run this like a game show with a wheel that has things like “pie in the face” and some possible good things like “$25 Off Camp Registration.” Contestants get whatever the wheel lands on. Play cheesy game show music. Have the prizes planned out. Have host wear plaid blazer, if possible.
