Scoring key

A goal met 1
Every game has a goal to reach inside the minute. Meet it and score 1. Fall short and score 0.
The editors' layout
A party contest of one-minute games has no governing body and no standard scoring. These layouts and points are suggestions: change them before the first game, not after.
The judge
One person who is not playing starts the clock and makes every call. A call stands once the next game has started.
The clock
Sixty seconds from the judge's Go. Anything finished after the buzzer does not count.
A dropped prop
Pick it up and carry on from where it fell. The clock does not stop.
Practice tries
One practice try for each player before the clock starts, then none.
What counts as zero
A team that sits a game out, or stops before the minute is up without meeting the goal, scores 0. Write the 0 so the row is complete.
Level at the end
The level teams play one more game and the winner takes the place. Its result goes in the tie-break column.

How it works

This sheet scores a one-minute games competition: teams down the side, games across the top and totals that add themselves. Minute to Win It is a TV show of 60-second challenges, and this page has no tie to it.

Read the full guide

Pick a layout and print it

The page opens on ten games at a point for each goal met. The Sheet list has three more: eight games where the places score 3, 2 and 1, head to head for two teams, and a scorecard for one player. Print blank sheet prints the open layout with the judge's key under it. Or type scores on screen: totals add up as you go.

Set the contest up from our game lists

Choose the games from the one-minute party games lists and write each name over its column. Run them as stations, with a phone on the one-minute timer at each, or one game at a time with everyone watching.

Tips
  • The key prints the calls that start arguments: who judges, a dropped prop, practice tries and what counts as zero.
  • On a phone, swipe the grid sideways to reach the later games.

Questions and answers

How do you create a one-minute games tournament?

Pick eight to ten games, name one judge who is not playing, and split the room into teams. Play every game against a 60-second clock, write each result on the sheet and add up at the end. Level teams play one more game.

How do you score one-minute games?

There is no official way. This sheet offers three: a point for every goal met, 3, 2 and 1 points for the best three results in each game, or a point for each game won between two teams. Say which before the first game.

How many teams fit on the sheet?

Up to 20, added one at a time with Add a team. The sheet starts with six. The head-to-head layout is for two teams only, and the scorecard is for one player.

What happens in a tie?

The tied teams play one more game, sudden death, and the winner takes the higher place. Its result goes in the tie-break column, which is never added to the total.

How this list was compiled: Written by the Game Night Generator editors on 2026-10-02. A party contest of one-minute games has no governing body and no standard scoring, so nothing here was checked against an outside source and none of it is official: the four layouts, the points (1 for a goal met; 3, 2 and 1 for places; 1 for a win), the sudden-death tie-break and the judge's calls in the key are the editors' own suggestions. The totals named on the sheets (10, 24 and 9) are sums of the games on each layout. No scorecard of any television show was copied. Licence: own work
