HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each player an identical set of stackable plastic cups arranged in a starting pile.

2

On the signal to start, race to build the cups into an agreed pyramid pattern as quickly as possible.

3

Once the pyramid is complete, immediately reverse the process and stack the cups back into a single pile.

4

A timer or judge records how long the full up-and-down sequence takes for each player.

5

Restack any cups that fall during the attempt before continuing, without pausing the clock.

6

The player with the fastest completed time across the agreed number of attempts wins.
