How to play

  1. Build a tree-shaped stack before the timer ends.
  2. It must stand for three seconds after time.
  3. Tallest standing tree wins the heat.

The challenge

Stack plastic cups into a pyramid tree (4-3-2-1) and back into a single stack. Fastest full build and teardown wins; 60-second limit.

You need: 10 plastic cups per player

Safety: Plastic cups only, never glass baubles.

What the app does for you

The app runs the timer, the heats and the scoreboard. Hidden timers pick a random stop time that nobody can see, not even the host.

Played on one device: a phone, tablet or a laptop on the TV. Nothing to join, and it works offline once the site has loaded.
