How to play Name Race
- 1Add up to 12 racers. Each one gets their own coloured runner.
- 2Choose whether the pick is whoever finishes first or whoever finishes last.
- 3Hit Start. After a 3, 2, 1 countdown the runners speed up, stumble and overtake at random.
- 4The winner (or the loser) is your pick. Race again as many times as you like.
On your marks…
Add everyone’s name, hit start, and cheer. The race is random, so nobody can rig it.

Tips
- Put it on a TV and let everyone shout for their runner. It’s more fun than it has any right to be.
