Stuff We Want: Hasbro Pie Face Game, the Thanksgiving Dessert That Comes for Your Face

Every holiday has the same lull. Dinner's done, the pie is half gone, and everybody's sitting around pretending they're not full. Somebody suggests a board game. Somebody else groans. You know how this ends: a 3-hour argument over the rules of a game nobody remembers.

Here's a better idea. Put your face in danger instead.

The Hasbro Gaming Pie Face Game is exactly what it sounds like. You slide your head through a face mask, rest your chin, and start turning the handles. Somewhere behind you, a spring-loaded hand loaded with whipped cream is waiting. It could go off at any moment. That's the whole game. That's all it needs to be.

Here's how a round goes. You spin the spinner to find out how many times you turn the handles. Survive the clicks without getting splatted and you score a point. The first player to 25 points wins. Everyone else gets to watch you sweat over a plastic hand.

And the best part for this time of year: the "pie" is whipped cream from home. That's right, the can that's already sitting next to the pumpkin pie just got promoted to game piece. (Whipped cream isn't included, so don't use it all on dessert.)

It's for ages 5 and up and 2 or more players, so the cousins can play, and so can the uncle who says he's "too old for this" right before he asks for a second turn.

It's hand-picked because it's the one family game where losing is the best part to watch. Phones come out. Videos get made. The group chat will never let you forget it.

Who it's for

• Families who need something after Thanksgiving dinner that isn't a political debate.
• Parents who want the kids laughing instead of asking for screens.
• White elephant shoppers looking for a gift the whole room wants to try right now.

Who should skip it

• Your living room has white carpet. Lay down a towel or take it to the kitchen.
• You hate surprises. The hand doesn't care about your feelings.

FAQ

The verdict

The verdict: hand-picked because nothing beats watching your most serious relative take a face full of whipped cream in front of everyone. Keep a towel close and your phone closer.
