Slice It

Cut the lumpy thing into two equal halves.

Slice It is a free cut-it-in-half puzzle. Everyone gets the same lumpy vegetable, you drag once to place the knife, and a dead-even 50/50 scores 100. The fat end weighs far more than it looks, so the fair cut is never where the middle seems to be.

How to play Slice It

🍆

Everyone gets the same lump

An eggplant, a crooked carrot, a warty gourd — one object per round, drawn from the same seed on every screen, so your board is identical to everyone else's. Nothing is symmetrical and nothing is a nice neat shape.

🔪

Drag to place the knife

Press anywhere on the board and drag: the cut is the straight line running right through where you pressed and where your finger is now, all the way across. Swing your finger around to change the angle. Lift your finger and the cut is made — one per object. A tap, or a line that misses the object, is not a cut: you simply try again.

👀

Trust your eye — the numbers come after you cut

While you aim, the board shows you exactly WHERE the knife falls — the two pieces tint apart as you swing it — and never how even it is. No percentages, no score, nothing to nudge against until you commit. Lift your finger and the split and the score land at once: a dead-even 50/50 is worth 100, a 55/45 only 42, so "close enough" really isn't. No speed bonus either — take the whole clock and stare at it.

🤨

The middle is a liar

The fat bulb end weighs far more than the skinny end, so the fair cut is nowhere near the middle of the object — it sits well over towards the heavy half. Judge where the weight is, not where the middle looks.

🏆

Add up the objects

The host picks 2, 3 or 5 objects, each worth up to 100. Scores land for the whole room together after every one, and the highest total across them all wins the match. Miss the clock on an object and it scores 0.
