Tips & Tricks[]

  • Start with a strong foundation: Make sure the first few cups are placed as evenly and stably as possible, as this will help the tower stay upright as you add more cups.
  • Use a gentle touch: When bouncing the balls into the cups, try to be as gentle as possible. This will help reduce the risk of the tower collapsing due to too much force.
  • Keep an eye on the tower: Pay attention to how the tower is reacting as you add more cups and balls. If it starts to lean or wobble too much, adjust your strategy as needed.
