Game guide
Candidates: 1–5
Set the participants before taking turns at the barrel. The round builds suspense as the barrel is poked, until the pirate pops and the game identifies the selected participant.
Decide what being selected means before starting: it might mean taking the next turn or choosing the next activity. This small-group game accepts up to five candidates. Its result is a party-game outcome, not a prediction about a person.
Before you start
Review the candidate list before starting. Each game has its own capacity; a large saved preset may contain more names than this game accepts.
Results and fairness
These are entertainment simulations. Outcomes are not certified equal-probability draws or audited selections. Agree on the meaning of a result before playing.
Names, images and privacy
The candidate editor stores names and custom images in this browser. Clear the list or browser site data to remove them. A shared or downloaded clip can reveal the names and images shown on screen.
Technical help
Use a current browser with JavaScript and canvas support. If a game is slow, reduce the candidate count. Recording support varies by browser; downloaded clips currently contain video only.
