I need 8 more trip wedges to make a "wheel of trips". LOL
Seriously, I'd love to have trip wedges for Florida, New Orleans, Ireland, Australia, Wyoming, Canada, Jamaica and one that says "Shopping Spree" like the one used on the show---I love that wedge. I wish I was talented to make these. Maybe I'll luck up and a couple of these will be made in the future by a fan!

^Dang! That's awesome! I'm gonna print that baby out and put it to good use!
MarioGS, I also found a Colorado wedge you did awhile back. I plan on also using that one.

Sorry, I may have missed somewhere how big is this? And any chance of a video of it spinning? I wish I had the dedication and eye for detail you do, very nice work!

This is awesome.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like each wedge is individually attached to the wheel? So you could, if you wanted to, shuffle the entire bare layout?

^Yes, all the wedges are individual so they can easily be changed or replaced.

^That's hilarious considering that I don't even have a Twitter account .....or a Facebook account. I'm not really into social media.

Yesterday I was finally able to host my first game with my new wheel. Amazingly not a single bankrupt or lose a turn was hit during the entire game. However, the bonus puzzle wasn't solved.
I need to start a puzzle index for my games for other people to use if they want to host games, also. Here's the first set of puzzles I used:
$1,000 Toss-Up - ON THE MAP: ATLANTA GEORGIA
$2,000 Toss-Up - LIVING THING: MAPLE TREE
Round 1 - FOOD & DRINK: WILD BLACKBERRY PIE
Round 2 (Mystery Round) - OCCUPATIONS: MANAGER AND ASSISTANT MANAGER
Round 3 (Express Round & Prize Puzzle) - PHRASE: I'VE GOT SOME TERRIFIC NEWS ($6,250 trip to Brazil)
$3,000 Toss-Up - THING: GRAND PIANO
Round 4 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?: TURNING UP THE VOLUME
Round 5 (Full Speed-Up Round) - IN THE KITCHEN: WOODEN SALAD BOWL
Bonus Round - PHRASE: QUIET AND PEACEFUL

Dry erase board
....but I plan to change that in the future. I'm currently planning to make a puzzle board.
Don't worry, when the process begins I will be posting lots of pictures.

You mentioned you play with family I assume? You're not located around St. Louis by chance? Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near St.Louis. I'm in Georgia. Yes, for the most part I play with family and friends. I'm currently in talks about doing a monthly "wheel night" at my Aunt's living community but I want to get my puzzle board completed before I 'take my show on the road'--haha. |
