About

FAQ

How do I play?

Watch the cups shuffle, track the hidden target, then tap the cup you believe contains it. You win the round if you pick correctly.

What changes as difficulty increases?

Shuffle speed and pattern complexity increase. Some levels introduce decoy moves or tighter spacing to challenge tracking.

What do rewarded ads give me?

Watching an optional rewarded ad grants an extra guess/shot for the current level. It also resets the interstitial counter.

Can I replay a level?

Yes. You can retry immediately after a miss or revisit completed levels from the level select (if enabled in your build).

Do I need internet?

The game runs offline, but ads and some telemetry require an internet connection. Rewarded ads won’t be available offline.

How do I turn off sound or haptics?

Open the in-game settings and toggle sound and haptics.
