Horsengoggle (also known as horse-and-goggle and horse 'n' goggle and hossengoggle) is a method of selecting a random person from a group. Unlike some other methods, such as rock paper scissors, one of the features of horsengoggle is that there is always a winner; it is impossible to tie. In his memoir of growing up in Missouri in the 1940s, Jim Frank mentions the game as "ein [sic], zwei, drei, horsengoggle", which he describes as "an old German system of selection". Horsengoggle is used by a number of youth camps in the United States, and by some Girl Scout units.
