MojoMini game guide

A loud suspense pick for friends deciding who gets the penalty or splash moment

Use Chair Roulette when friends want one wrong pick to trigger the laugh, the penalty, or the recap moment without learning a bigger game first. Players understand the risk immediately, and the host can use it as a short party round or a closing moment after structured activities.

Best group size

2 to 10 players

Setup time

About 1 minute

Round style

Turn-based suspense

Use when

Friends want one wrong pick to land hard

Low-stakes suspense

The game creates a clear risk without asking players to learn a strategy-heavy ruleset.

Party hosting

It works well as a short elimination segment between decision tools, quizzes, or longer group activities.

Visible group reactions

The scene gives spectators something to watch, which matters when only one player acts at a time.

Best situations and audience

  • Party hosts who need a fast game that creates a shared reaction.
  • Remote teams looking for a playful end-of-session moment.
  • Groups that prefer turn-based suspense over reflex competition.

Quick tips

  • Set expectations before the first turn so the result stays playful.
  • Use Wheel or Ladder first if you need to choose player order fairly.
  • Keep rounds short with small groups, then reset for a rematch instead of stretching one game too long.
  • For work groups, use harmless outcomes such as choosing the next prompt or picking a fun title.

Hosting tips

  • State the consequence before players choose chairs and keep it light.
  • Use a visible player order so waiting players know when their turn is coming.
  • For team settings, make the result choose a harmless task such as the next music pick or prompt.

Bad-fit situations

Sensitive penalties

Avoid Chair Roulette when the consequence could embarrass someone or create real pressure.

Long strategic sessions

The value is suspense and reaction, not deep tactics. Use Bingo for a longer shared competition.

Use cases

Party elimination round

Use Chair Roulette as a quick suspense segment after everyone has joined and understands the stakes.

Meeting closer

End a team session with a visible random result, such as who picks the next icebreaker or sends the recap.

Order assignment

Combine it with Ladder when the group needs both a fair order and a memorable reveal.

Real session examples

Light penalty pick

  1. 1Agree on a harmless penalty
  2. 2Choose chairs in order
  3. 3Run one reveal

  3. 3Reset the round

Party photo moment

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Starting before the group agrees what the losing result means.

  • Forgetting to reset expectations when moving from a party group to a work group.
