HOW TO PLAY

Pumpkin Carving Ideas

Ask a grown-up to help with sharp tools, and use a flameless candle.

Choosing a pumpkin design can take longer than the carving itself. Tap here for a simple idea, then sketch it on paper first, trace it onto the pumpkin with a marker and follow the lines. Pick a pumpkin with a flat bottom so it sits nicely, and scoop it well so the light shines through. Not into carving? Painting, stickers and googly eyes work great too. For a group night, give everyone a mini pumpkin and one tap, then line up the results on the porch and vote for the cutest. Always have a grown-up help with sharp tools.

GOOD TO KNOW

New result every time

Every tap picks a fresh result at random, so no two rounds are quite the same. Play as often as you like, save the ones you love and share them with friends.
