What you need
- 3 to 14 players
- A table, with one cup per player minus one
- A phone, tablet or laptop that acts as the caller (the game on this site)
Set up
Put the cups in a ring in the middle of the table, spaced so everyone can reach one. Players stand around the table with their hands by their sides. Enter everyone’s names in the game and press Start game.
How a round works
- The caller counts down, then shows and says a body part. Always start with Head, Shoulders, Knees.
- Everyone touches the body part shown, keeping the beat.
- After a random length of time, the screen flashes CUP! and a buzzer sounds.
- Everyone grabs a cup. One player ends up with none.
- Pick that player on screen. They’re out, one cup is removed, and the next round starts.
How to win
Keep playing until two players are left and one cup remains. The player who grabs it wins.
Common disputes
- Two hands on one cup: the player who lifts it off the table keeps it.
- Grabbing early: if decoy words are on and someone grabs on a decoy, they are out. Pick them in the list.
- Nobody can agree who missed out: use “Nobody. Replay the round”.
