Jello Wrestling Rules!
How to win Jello Wresting?

The basic tag team match has two teams of two wrestlers facing off against each other. All standard rules for singles wrestling apply to a team match. However, only one wrestler from each team, called the "legal wrestler" is allowed in the jello pit at a time. All other members of the team wait outside the pool in the team's specified corner. Points are scored by pinning an opponent to the ground in the same way as described in the three second pin version of the game (the 3 second rule is usually extended to 5 seconds for tag team matches to give pinned contestants a reasonable amount of time to attempt to tag out).

Once a tag is made, the wrestler tagging out has a grace period (typically five to ten seconds) to leave the jello pool before risking disqualification. Offensive cooperation from a team member is allowed during this time window and two teammates can be in the ring simultaneously with only one member of an opposing team. The tagged out player must leave the pool within the grace period or risks loosing a point for a disqualification/foul.

The following are standard requisites for making a legal tag:

• Both feet of the wrestler on the outside must be flat on the ground.
• The wrestler inside the pool must reach over the side of the pool wall to make a touch. The outside player cannot reach into the pool for the touch. Contact must be made outside the perimeter of the pool.
• Tags are legal as long as the two team members touch.
• The referee has to see and/or hear the contact between the two wrestlers in order for the tag to be legal.

Other Games With Jello

There is so much more you can do with a pool of jello than just wrestling. Click below to learn about jello tug of war competitions or how to fill a dunk tank with Jello.

It is actually a lot harder to find things in a huge pool jello than you may think. For this reason a Jello Money Hunt is a super fun game that can result in a cash prize for the winner. To play, have everyone contribute a predetemined amount to a pot of money. Then have someone not competing simply hide the money underneath the jello. Lots of $1 bills with a few larger bills usually makes for an exciting game. On go, all competitors must run and dive into the jello pool to search for the money. The more you find the more you get to keep.  

If Jello is not your thing, then perhaps you'd prefer mud wrestling. All of the games above can also be played in a pool of mud.

Party GOAT Instant Mud Powder was designed to make setting up a mud wrestling pool a breeze. Just add water to make an imitiation mud that is clean, super slippery, and free from sticks, rocks and bacteria that can be found in real mud. Click here for a guide on how to set up mud wrestling.

One of the best thing about choosing mud (or slime) to wrestle in instead of Jello is that it is quicker to set up and dispose of. Unlike our Jello Wrestling Mix which takes 3 hours to set, Instant Mud powder will turn to mud as soon as you add the water. After the event, simply add half a bag of pool salt to your mud pool and the mud will break down back into water for easy draining. 

Another option to consider is Slime Wrestling. All of the games above can also be played in a pool full of slime!

Party GOAT Instant Slime was designed to make bulk amounts of liquid slime by simply adding water.
