Cup games

Blow the pyramid over

Knock down a cup pyramid using nothing but a balloon’s worth of air. Loud, silly and over in seconds.

Players
2–10
Time
5–10 min

What you need

  • 6 paper cups per player
  • One balloon per player

How to play

  1. Each player stacks a 3-2-1 pyramid at the edge of a table.
  2. Blow up your balloon and pinch it shut.
  3. Aim the neck and let the air out to blast the cups off the table.
  4. Refill as often as you like; first to clear their table wins.

Office tip: Keep a bin bag handy for burst balloons.
