The dinner table game
Dinner Roulette
Three reels, one dinner. Set the rule before you spin: whatever lands, gets cooked.
Whatever lands, gets cooked.
House rules
- 01
Agree before you pull
Whatever lands gets cooked. Deciding the rule first is what makes the answer stick.
- 02
One veto per table
That is what “Not tonight” is for. Use it once, then honour the next pull.
- 03
Set the clock first
Short on time? Choose Under 30 or Under 15 before you spin, not after.
- 04
New is the point
If it lands on something you have never cooked, that is the roulette doing its job.
Questions
- How does dinner roulette work?
- Pull once and three reels stop in turn on a cuisine, a main ingredient and a cooking time. Together they point to one dinner, which appears underneath with the full recipe a tap away.
- Is dinner roulette the same as a dinner wheel?
- No. The Dinner Wheel spins a single ring of options and stops on one. Roulette decides three things at once, which suits a table where everyone has an opinion about a different part of dinner.
- Can I skip what it lands on?
- Yes. “Not tonight” pulls again and won’t land on the same dinner twice in one visit. The house rule is one veto per table, but nobody is checking.
