How to Play Egg Roulette

Egg roulette is a very silly but extremely fun game to play. In an eggshell, it consists of having six eggs, one of which is raw and the rest of which are cooked. The players must hit themselves on the heads with the egg, and the loser is the one who gets the raw egg––and mess!

The usual amount is 6, as a game of real roulette would have. However, you can vary this depending on the guest amount. It is recommended not to go any higher though, as the suspense gets spoiled and it's best to divide people into smaller groups instead.
Refrigerate all of the eggs, so that it is hard to impossible to tell which have been boiled.

Line your players up. Ask them for an order or impose one on them, depending on what works best for your party. Each player much come to the table or bench where the eggs are and choose an egg. Then, the player must crack the egg against his or her forehead to see if they've selected the one that is raw.
- Inform players to be careful, as a hard boiled egg can hurt!
- It also helps to divert too much examination of the eggs by a player by letting them know that they must only choose an egg by sight and that once they've picked it up, they must go ahead and smash it against their head, even if they suspect it's the raw one.
Be ready with face towels, paper towels and wipes.
It's pretty tough getting egg all over your face. Be sure to cheer up the unfortunate winner with a sweet prize. Make it so nice that everyone else will wish they'd scored the raw egg.

Tips

To save your player's clothing, have them wear an apron or use unwanted men's shirts as "art smocks" to protect their clothing.

Do this on a floor covered in newspaper or a drop cloth or somewhere where it doesn't matter if egg falls, such as the grass outside.

Drawing designs or pictures on the eggs can be a way of encouraging certain eggs to be selected over others, to increase the fun!

Warnings

Use fresh eggs, absolutely. There is no excuse for upsetting a guest with a rotten egg.

Since this can involve some pain from the boiled egg hitting your head and some mess from a messy egg, be sure that everyone participating is aware of the consequences. Don't force anyone to play this and it's best played from teen years on, as younger children might hurt themselves with the hard egg.
