Balance Pyramid – Party Game with Cups and Platform

Balance Pyramid is a thrilling and suspenseful party game where players must build a cup pyramid on a platform held in one hand. Every sudden movement can bring the structure down, and the tension rises as the pyramid grows taller. It’s a game of patience, precision, and control that guarantees both laughter and excitement.

How to Play

Use an improvised platform, such as a pizza box, a picture frame, or a large book, held horizontally with one hand.
With the other hand, the player builds a pyramid of cups on top of the platform.
The goal is to complete the pyramid without knocking it down, maintaining balance until the end.

Validation options:

  • complete the pyramid and hold it stable for a few seconds;

  • place a ping pong ball on top of the pyramid and keep it there for 3 seconds;

  • perform a squat while holding the platform;

  • place the platform on the floor with the pyramid intact.
