Why it works as a party game

Thanksgiving already bought pie. A mini-tin contest is a party game; a whole pie is a medical event.

How to play

  1. Give each racer a mini pie. Hands behind backs.
  2. Start together. First to show a clean tin wins.
  3. Anyone who uses a hand is out.
  4. Share leftover slices with the spectators.

Hosting tips

  • Use cheap tins, not the dessert you spent all morning on.
  • Offer a whipped-cream-only heat for people who do not want filling.
  • Do this before anyone is too full to laugh.
