Pie Face

Whipped cream is the best case scenario.

In the box: Thrower, plastic mask, spinner

I cannot imagine a scenario where I would use this in therapy, but since it is so popular right now, and I got it for 99 cents, I figured I could blog about it.  It is just what you would think it is by looking at the box (above). Load whipped cream or a wet sponge onto the hand, turn the cranks, and hope you don't get hit in the face. No strategy, planning, skill etc., just dumb luck. Or lack thereof. Determine the number of rounds you will play before you start and then score each round as I will specify below. Highest scorer is the winner. There is some assembly required for the "thrower" (snapping pieces together), and there is also a spinner that takes simple assembly. 

 

Back of box.

Set up:

Assemble the game, load the whipped cream onto the hand, put the spinner nearby. Decide how many rounds you will play.

Play:

The first player spins the spinner to determine how many times he will have to turn the cranks on the thrower. He then puts his face into the plastic mask and cranks the thrower. This is how he scores:

• Take full turns matching the number on die and doesn't get pie-faced. Score double the number on the die. (Score a 3, take 3 turns. Get 6 points)
• Take partial turns than the number shown on die and doesn't get pie-faced. Score the number of turns you took. Player must decide before he starts cranking how many turns he will turn. (Score a 3, take 2 turns. Get 2 points.)
• Get pie-faced before you are done cranking. Score no points.

SAFETY FIRST as anything on the hand might get into the eyes.
