Cracker Barrel Just Gave Its Beloved Peg Game New Wording
Country Living ^ | 8/25/25 | Katie Bowlby

Cracker Barrel has been around for 55 years. Through the decades, the restaurant has been known as a family-friendly spot for homestyle food, general store shopping, and nostalgic activities. The brand is undergoing a major makeover now, and some diners have noticed that even the beloved peg game is changing.

The peg game has been around since Cracker Barrel opened in 1960, and it has been a staple on their dining tables ever since. It's a fun (screen free!) way for diners to pass the time while they wait for their food. Plus, it's been available in the store for $5 for anyone interested in brushing up on their skills at home.

According to the Cracker Barrel website, the simple game, made up of pegs and a wooden triangle, dates back to the court of Louis XIV in 1697. But Cracker Barrel's version has a funny twist with snarky wording. Fans will remember the scoring system: if you leave only one peg, you're a “genius.” If you leave two pegs, you’re “purty smart.” But it starts getting a little judgy with three pegs (you're just plain "dumb") and four or more labels you an "EG-NO-RA-MOOSE."

As the store has given its decor a "fresh look and feel," they gave a similar updated appearance to the peg game. While the game board and rules remain the same, some diners on social media have shown that the wording has changed.

According to a video posted on Tik Tok, the wording now says:

Leave only one - You're a genius! Leave two - Rocking the chair but not the game. Leave three or more - No need to be embarrassed, try again! A spokesperson from Cracker Barrel told Country Living, "The peg game is still the same peg game our guests have known and loved for years, and some may look visually different now, but the rules and fun remain completely unchanged."

Have you noticed the updated peg game at your local Cracker Barrel?

Create a PR disaster for profit. Tank the stock, then send it roaring back.

Yep went way to far so now they will pull back just enough to take the heat off or so they think. I think they have been exposed and this little course correction will not work

You forgot the last one...

Leave all of the pegs: You have no right to touch any of these pegs you dirty filthy capitalist pig. You raped all of the forests only to produce a peg game that makes people of lesser intelligence feel inferior. YOU MUST BE A RACIST!
