Nut Tower – Skill Game with BBQ Skewers and Nuts

Nut Tower is a precision challenge game where players must build a vertical tower of nuts, manipulating them only with a BBQ skewer. It looks simple, but every move requires patience and control — one mistake and the entire tower can collapse.

How to Play

Each player receives a BBQ skewer.
The goal is to lift nuts by inserting the tip of the skewer through the hole and carefully stacking them one by one to form a tower.
The tower must stay vertical, with each nut placed directly on top of the previous one.
The size of the nuts determines the objective:

  • with smaller nuts, the goal is 7–8 pieces;

  • with larger nuts, the tower can reach 10–15 pieces.

Game Variants

  • Solo: the winner is the player who completes the nut tower the fastest without knocking it down.

  • 1 vs. 1: two players play simultaneously; the first to finish a stable tower wins.

  • Teams: teammates alternate turns — one places a nut, then the other, and so on — until the tower is completed.

  • Duration: 3–6 minutes

  • Ideal Occasions:

  • Materials Needed: nuts (7–15 pieces depending on size), BBQ skewers

Variants:
