How it works
This candy corn guessing game is a sheet to set beside the jar: a row for each guest's name and guess, a line for the real count and the tie rule underneath. It prints blank with one press.

Guess how much candy is in the jar game: set it up
Count the candy as you fill the jar and keep the number to yourself: the page gives no count and no formula. Choose what is in the jar in the Sheet list, press Print blank sheet and leave the page by the jar with a pen. Each guest writes a name and one guess.
Find the winner
When the last guess is in, write the real count on its line. The closest guess wins, over or under. The page does not compare the guesses, so read down the column yourself.

Questions and answers
Is there a guess how many candies are in the jar printable?
Yes. Every sheet here prints blank on one page: twenty rows for a name and a guess, a line for the real count and the rules. Choose candy corn, jelly beans, candy canes, wrapped chocolates, buttons or a plain jar.
How do you guess the amount in the jar?
Each guest looks at the jar without opening it and writes one whole number. The page offers no formula, because jars and candy differ. The only sure number is the one the host counted while filling it.
What are good guessing jar items?
Anything small that the host can count while filling: candy corn, jelly beans, wrapped chocolates or candy canes, or with no food, buttons, paper clips, crayons, marbles and dry pasta shapes. The Any jar sheet prints both lists under its rows.
Who wins if nobody guesses the exact number?
The closest guess, whether it is over or under the real count. If two guesses are equally close, the one written higher up the sheet wins. Both rules print under the rows.
