Is the printable guess-how-many kit really free?

Yes. Fill in as much or as little as you like, then download the PDF or print it. There is no account, no email required, and no purchase.

What is included in the contest kit?

Three pages of numbered entry slips (10 per page), a table sign in a filled-in and a blank-lined version, an official rules card, a host tally sheet, and a winner certificate.

Can people guess online instead of on paper?

Add your online guess link and the kit prints a QR code on the table sign and rules card so guests can scan and enter from their phone.

What paper size does it print on?

Everything is laid out for standard US Letter paper and prints fine in black and white.

Official rules card

The number inside the sealed envelope is the official count for this contest and is final. Closest guess wins. Ties are settled by earliest entry.

The PDF also includes a blank-lined table sign for handwriting, a host tally sheet, and a winner certificate.

Don't have a jar yet?

The Guessing Jar is a one-gallon glass jar of the candy you choose, filled, counted, and sealed by us. The official number ships in a sealed envelope, so nobody knows it — not even you — until the envelope is opened at the reveal. That's what makes the contest genuinely fair, and it saves you an evening of counting candy at the kitchen table.

Tips for running the contest

Display the jar where people already wait — a front desk, a checkout line, the break room.
One guess per slip, so every entry has a name attached to it.
Set a deadline and print it on the sign, so guessing doesn't drift on forever.
Announce the reveal in advance and get a crowd for it.
Read the sealed number aloud before opening any guesses — that is what keeps it fair.
