Fun Ways to Decide Who Pays the Tip

Can't decide who should cover the tip? Our "Who's Gonna Pay?" game section turns this awkward moment into fun entertainment with three creative solutions:

🎡 Tip Wheel

A colorful spinning wheel that randomly selects who pays. Perfect for when you want a fair but exciting solution.

🔢 Magic Number Game

Players guess a number - whoever comes closest to the secret number gets rewarded by not paying!

🔫 Tip Roulette

The most thrilling option - players get eliminated round by round until only one payer remains. Great for groups!

These games work for any group size and add excitement to any dining experience.
