I made a “slot machine” where trick-or-treaters insert some of their candy, pull the handle, and get back different candy, more candy, or toys:
I’ve been racking my brain trying to think up of some thing I could mass-produce on the GF as a give-away. I like the idea of converting some amount of kid’s candy into toys/trinkets, and the kids I know love this idea.
What could I make? Have any ideas? The best I can come up with is a little articulated skeleton, or ghoulish severed hand “milagro charms”… Help!
Probably true.
There was a house that piled kids onto a couch and took a picture, then you moved to the next room and a slideshow of last years pictures was being thrown on a screen.
You would stare at the screen until you spotted yourself last year, then give a shout and off you go to collect candy.
Cheap and campy, but was an interesting gimmick and always the first place to go to on Halloween
We stared at a screen for nothing, so I imagine the kids love your slot machine, even if all it gave was wooden ghosts.
Well not exactly a revenue stream, because the machine always pays out 1:1. In some cases kids get candy turned into toys/trinkets. In jackpot situations they win back handfuls of handy deposited by previous kids. But I do sneak away and put aside the occasional snicker bar which I love.
