guess your weight

Midway scale game

Guess your weight is a carnival game where an operator estimates a player's weight within a certain margin—typically three to five pounds either way.

If the guess falls outside that range, the player wins a prize.

The game trades on the awkwardness of having one's weight publicly announced: I won a stuffed bear at the guess-your-weight booth.
