Quick Overview:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This game is from\u00a0Minute to Win It<\/a>.\u00a0We played this game with teams of 3 players each. Each team has 60 seconds to try and flip as many Gatorade bottles in the air and\u00a0successfully\u00a0land them on their table as they can. The team that lands the most bottles in 60 seconds wins![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Supplies” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Supplies You\u2019ll Need:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Gatorade Bottles.\u00a0<\/strong>Get the wider 32 oz bottles. They are easier to land because of their wider base. To keep the bottles flying through the air I would say get 6 per team that will be competing at the same time.<\/p>\n

2. Tables.<\/strong>\u00a0We have tall, small, round tables that we love for this game because they are like a mini landing pad. But any table should work.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Prep” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Prep:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need to empty each bottle so it\u2019s about 2\/3 full. This makes it easier to land. Also, I recommend duct taping the top because when I played this game the first time I had a few bottles\u2019 tops break and start leaking after a hard impact with the floor or side of the table. Since I\u2019ve started duct taping the bottles I haven\u2019t had any issues.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Gameplay” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

Game Play:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We played with 2 teams of 3 players each, but you can mess with the numbers and even play with just 1 player per team if you\u2019d like. I like to have lots of bottles flying through the air, so 3 (I think) is a great number per team. Each round lasts 60 seconds and the only rule is the bottle has to do a flip in the air. Players can stand as close to the table as they want and they can throw as many bottles as they can. A point is scored each time a bottle lands standing up and does not fall off the table for 3 seconds. Once the bottle is stable for 3 seconds it can be taken off the table and used to score more points. The team that lands the most bottles in 60 seconds wins![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_2395.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_2411.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_2408.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Connect With Us” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n
