The honest twin of the cup game
One ball, three cups, a real shuffle — and a real chance of losing.
One white ball, three cups, a real shuffle. Set a challenge — if they track it, they win.
Same table as the cup game, none of the rigging. A white ball goes under one cup, the cups shuffle twenty times, and if they can follow it they win.
If they can't, the ball's real cup is shown and they can try again. That's the point of this one: the reward has to be earned, so it means something when it is.
What happens when they open it
- 1
Set the challenge
"Find the ball and the movie tickets are on me." Whatever you're willing to lose.
- 2
Twenty swaps
Fast, and genuinely hard to follow. Watching properly is the game.
- 3
They win it or they don't
A win gets a cheer and your message. A miss shows where the ball was, and the ball moves before they try again.
