When you need a quick, interactive activity to boost energy at a fundraiser, few games work as well as Heads or Tails. It’s simple, fast, and gets the entire crowd engaged at once. Best of all, it adds revenue without slowing down your program.
Heads or Tails is a lighthearted elimination game that requires no special equipment, no long explanations, and no physical setup. The concept is straightforward: participants guess the outcome of a coin flip by standing up and choosing either “heads” or “tails.” Those who guess wrong sit down, and the last person standing wins the prize.
It’s fast-paced, fun, and creates laughter and camaraderie in the room — all while raising money.
Sell Participation Tokens
Guests buy the right to play. You can do this by selling a single entry ticket or allowing multiple entries at higher donation levels. For example:
$5 = 1 play
$10 = 3 plays
Gather the Crowd
Everyone who purchased an entry stands up to play.
Make the Choice
The emcee or host explains: “Put your hands on your head for heads or on your hips for tails.”
Flip the Coin
The emcee flips a coin and announces the result. Everyone who guessed wrong sits down.
Repeat Until One Winner Remains
The process continues until a single participant is left standing. That person receives the prize.
Inclusive: Everyone can play at once, from kids to seniors.
Fast: The game can be wrapped up in less than 10 minutes.
Profitable: With hundreds of guests, even a small participation fee adds up quickly.
Fun Energy: The collective cheering and laughing builds excitement and keeps people involved in your event.
The prize should be something eye-catching enough to motivate entries but not so expensive that it eats into your fundraising margin. Common options include:
A donated gift basket from a local business
A $100 gift card
A bottle of premium wine or spirits (if your event allows alcohol)
A unique experience like a behind-the-scenes tour
Always secure the prize through donations whenever possible so all money raised stays with your cause.
Hype It Up Early
Have your emcee promote the game from the start of the night. Mention the prize and explain how easy it is to play.
Keep the Energy High
Your host should be enthusiastic, cracking jokes, and playing off the crowd. The game is simple, so personality makes it shine.
Encourage Multiple Buys
Make it fun for people to buy more than one entry. The more entries sold, the more money raised.
Acknowledge Sponsors
If a local business donated the prize, be sure to thank them on the mic and on your event materials. This gives them recognition and encourages future support.
Just like with door prizes, acknowledging sponsors is vital:
During the Game: Announce who donated the prize before the first coin flip.
After the Game: Have the winner pose for a quick photo with the sponsor (if present).
Post-Event: Send a thank-you card, share the winner’s photo on social media, and tag the sponsor.
Gratitude keeps relationships strong and makes businesses more likely to say “yes” again next year.
Heads or Tails is one of those perfect fundraiser games: quick, inclusive, and profitable. It costs almost nothing to run, requires minimal setup, and gets the entire crowd laughing together. Whether your event has 50 people or 500, this is a surefire way to add energy and dollars to the evening.
When you need a reliable way to wake up the room and raise some quick cash, flip a coin — and let the fun begin.
