Balloon Grip Pyramid – Party Game with Cups and Balloons

Balloon Grip Pyramid is a fun and challenging party game where players must build a cup pyramid using nothing but an inflated and deflated balloon. The difficulty comes from keeping control of each cup while the balloon expands to create a grip, making every placement more intense and hilarious. The larger the pyramid, the harder it gets to stack the cups correctly.

How to Play

Place five cups on the table and prepare to build a pyramid of three levels (3+2+1).
The player must keep a deflated balloon in their mouth, insert it into a cup, inflate it just enough to create grip, and carefully move the cup to the correct position.
The pyramid must be completed without dropping or misplacing cups.
