Wheel of Fortune

This post is actually more about the word guessing part than about the fortune wheel itself.

The Quiz

A friend of mine got married, so I sat together with his brother in law to come up with a special activity. We ended up with a mix between wheel of fortune and a music quiz.

Another friend – who works in the printing business – made the board. I’ve used Velcro to attach the letters to the board.

The activity went like this:

  • The DJ plays a song, and the bride and groom both have to guess the song title
  • Whoever knows it first has to hit a button on a boxing ball, and
    • gets a present (everyone put their present or envelope in a large box)
    • gets an extra letter on the Wheel of Fortune board
    • can make a guess for the sentence
  • And if you guess the sentence, you get the rest of the presents

A word about the DJ

The DJ – called DJ the man from Atlantis – was awesome by the way. He’s not only a great DJ, but he also regularly changes his costume.

Some of the outfits I saw: a Stormtrooper costume, a skeleton with a laser glove, a disco hat, a Darth Vader mask, some steampunk costume, …

If you are familiar with Lord of the Rings, then you have probably already heard of Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White, or maybe even Radagast the Brown. And perhaps you even read somewhere that there are even two more wizards, of which even Gandalf doesn’t remember the name anymore. But did you know that there is a sixth wizard called Bart (referred to as Baruman by some)? While the other wizards were fighting wars over a single ring, Bart was collecting hundreds of rings playing Sonic the Hedgehog. Furthermore, Bart used his Palantir to watch Star Wars instead of challenging Sauron. And finally he visited the libraries to study ancient lore, mostly found in comic books. Now however, Bart has grown up, married a sorceress, and they have two sweet little hobbits. You can follow Bart’s adventures on geekstuff.blog.
