Ball Avalanche – Party Game with Balls and Spoons

Ball Avalanche is a thrilling challenge game where players must keep balls on an inclined table for as long as possible, using only a spoon to deflect them. Any mistake can cause an “avalanche” as the balls roll off, and the tension builds the longer they stay in play. It’s a fun game of reflexes, focus, and nonstop action.

How to Play

Raise two legs of a table on a support so that the table is inclined.
Use glass marbles, Chinese balls, larger ball bearings, ping pong balls, or any other type of balls available at home.
The player holds a spoon in their hand. At the start, the balls are placed at the top of the table and immediately begin rolling down. The player must quickly use the outside of the spoon to keep them moving while preventing them from falling off the table.
