Tic Tac Toe 360 – Strategy and Skill Party Game with Cup Flips

Tic Tac Toe 360 is a clever twist on the classic tic-tac-toe, combined with the fun of cup flips. To place their pieces on the board, players must first land a successful 360° flip with disposable cups. It’s a mix of strategy, precision, and fast-paced excitement.

How to Play

Create the tic-tac-toe grid:

  • with tape on a table,

  • on an A3 sheet with a marker,

  • on cardboard or any creative surface.

Each square should measure at least 10–15 cm, making the full grid around 30–50 cm wide.
Each player has 4 disposable cups: either in different colors, or marked on the bottom with X and O using a marker.

At the start, each player takes one cup, places it on the edge of the table, and flips it for a full 360°.

  • If the flip is successful, the cup can be placed anywhere on the grid to try to form a line of three.

  • If the flip fails, the player must retry until they succeed before placing the cup on the grid.

If both players have placed all 4 cups but no one has formed a winning line, the game moves to the repositioning phase:

  • a player may take back one of their cups already on the board, attempt another 360° flip, and if successful, reposition it strategically on a new square.

  • play continues until one player successfully forms a line of three.
