The show “Minute To Win It” debuted on NBC back in March, 2010. Since then, people from around the world have been introducing the quirky, fun, and satisfying 60-second games in their churches, youth groups, staff-retreats, conferences, and business-meetings as a way of livening up the crowd and creating a fun atmosphere.
In my previous church as a youth pastor, Minute To Win It games were a highlight of our youth group gatherings. I’ve even blogged some videos of our students doing some of the games.
I also started collecting resources from across the Internet to help others use the idea behind the show to introduce Minute To Win It in their own context.
I’ve also received lots of email requests for the BluePrint videos, sound track, graphics, timer, etc. And I’ve tried to share those resources with as many people as possible. Some of the sharing-methods have been less-than-adequate, so I’m trying again.
I recently uploaded everything I’ve created and found readily available on the Internet in regards to Minute To Win It. It is all available here for download. From a 60-second timer to the blueprint instruction videos, and even some graphics I have created – everything I have is available here for instant download. If you find any of these resources useful, I’d love for you to leave a comment letting me know where and how you are using them.
Special thanks to my buddy Shane for helping me for the last year to manage this growing list of resources that I’ve been continuing to amass.
UPDATE (September 23, 2011) | Currently, the ONLY way to download these blueprints and other resources for Minute To Win It is to wait for the bandwidth from box.net to reset each month. If you have ideas/suggestions on how I could host these files for FREE elsewhere without the restrictions we’re getting from box.net, please leave a comment.
Thanks Steven. This has been very helpful. I plan on using these activities with some schools I work with on a regular basis.
Greg,
That is terrific! I’m glad the resource will be useful for you – be sure to share the link with anyone else who might have interest, too!
Love it! This will be great for out summer camp- 9 weeks of controlled chaos! Do you know if there is a “download all” button? Thanks for sharing!
Unfortunately, Dave there is no ‘download-all’ option :(
Glad you’ll be making use of these resources at camp this Summer!
Blessings!
Steven, I would like to use the minute to win it games as one of my fundraising games maybe a tent set up with 5 o 10 games charging $1 each game do you think that would work?
Thank you so much! We are running “Minute to Win It” at work for our 300+ employees this month. The blueprint videos were very helpful. Thanks again!
Jenelle! Thanks for posting the comment! That’s awesome that you’ll be using these resources for your corporate event!
Thanks for posting these blueprints! I’m gonna have an awesome graduation party and play a bunch of these with friends and family. It’s gonna be a great time. I really want to play “Baby Bottle”. Can you find this blue print anywhere? If so, please post it. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the downloads. We are using this game for post prom next week.

Greg – I’m super-glad that you are able to use the resource I’ve been compiling from various sources on the web. I was in youth ministry for about 10-years before transitioning this last year into a solo-pastorate and I know exactly what you mean in your comment!
Blessings to you. Have fun!
Hi Steven,
Wow! this is very good work! I’ve beeen looking all over for this but as much as I appreciate your work, is there anyway you can help me create or let me know what program you used to create these. The reason why I’m asking is because I work at a french college in ottawa, and I’m looking start this project in order for student to try and win a grant.
Let me know if there is anymore help you can give me in your spare time to write me back.
Thank you so much!

Steven and Shane, you guys rock!! I will be using these videos this summer for my youth group!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Keep up the good work.
Glad you’re able to benefit from these files, Erika! Enjoy and be sure to share the wealth with your peers!
hey Stevan
i just wanted to say thanks!!! i’ll be using these blue prints to run some games at work. i’m in charge of our behaviour based safety process at work and these will be a great incentive tool.
p.s i’m the only one who spelled your name correctly lol.
Planning to use these for a graduation party for our family. Appreciate your efforts preparing these!
Thank you so much!!! Using this at a Men’s Camp!!
NOOOOOOOO!!! Trying to get videos prepped for youth group this Sunday and the box.com account says I can’t download because it is “out of bandwidth, exceeded monthly bandwidth limit”. Any solution?!?
just emailed you, Greg – i’m amazed again at how many downloads these files are continuing to amass.
We are trying to use these games for Grad Night at our school.
I tried to download and it says, “out of bandwith, exceeded monthly bandwith limit”. Can you help me, please?
Thanks,
Margaret
Margaret – sorry about the bandwidth being exceeded. These files are being downloaded constantly apparently!
I do have them available via DropBox. If you are familiar with that service, please just let me know what email address to ‘share’ the folder with and I will temporarily grant you access.
Hey Steven, i am planning a graduation party this friday evening, and am having the same trouble with bandwidth…is there any way i can get around this and download the blueprints? Thanks so much
Lanette – I do have the files available via DropBox if you’d be interested. Simply send me an email with YOUR dropbox address and I’ll be happy to share the folder with you so you can download them!

Hi Stevan –

Hi Stevan,
Could you also share the files with me as well. I am planning the event for a university this week and am really excited. My dropbox is kelly.mcallister
Thank you!!
Kelly
And my email address is kelly.mcallister1@gmail.com
I received and have confirmed by subscription to stevansheets.com. I fear that I am bumbling along with this hoping I am doing everything I need to do. If I am missing something, please let me know. I just checked my drop box and haven’t received anything yet. This isn’t me hurrying you along, this is me a little anxious because I am of my element. :)
Thank you!!
you have been invited to the DropBox folder, Kelly
Stevan,
I am trying to download the Minute to win it blueprints and it is giving me the same issues with the bandwith exceeding. Would you be able to email me the files? I am planning a family fun night with the kids and they just love the game on tv so I thought I would suprise them.
Thank you,
Nick Spagnolo
Nickspag2002@yahoo.com
Nick, there is no way I could email you the files, too many and too large. If you try back in a few days, the bandwidth should reset itself. Or, if you set up a dropbox account, i could share the files that way.
hello
i am in dire need of the blueprint videos and am suffering from the same error “bandwidth exceeded” can you email them to me??? chache5@verizon.net
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!
Charles – please read the comment above yours.
Hi Steven,
I am in desperate need of the video countdown for tomorrow. If you get this tonight, could you please email me right away and I will register for a dropbox account. It would be greatly appreciated! :)
Fantastic! Great work.
DUDE! Awesome youth min resource. Can’t wait to put these into use. Thanks for all the hard work. Keep it up.
Blessings.
great job with the vids however it keeps telling me that you have met you monthly limit and im only halfway through. i would like to use them for our youth group.
thanks
ITS NOT LETTING ME DOWNLOAD DUE TO BANDWITH?
This is great thank you! I am going to use the blueprints for a family bbq next week. Do you have a blueprint for “A Bit Dicey”?
I cannot thank you enough for providing this comprehensive source for Minute to Win It blueprints, audio, logos, etc. I’ll be using these at a M2WI party this weekend!
Thank you!
I’m having a bandwidth issue, could I get access to the files through another channel. We have a youth function this evening and this looks like a great resource!!!
Thanks,
