Host tips3
- Judge the room. This game is funny because of how it looks — which is exactly why it can land badly in a formal corporate setting.
- Ask for volunteers. Never pick someone who has not already shown they want the spotlight.
- Have a second box pre-loaded so there is no dead air between players.
Variants2
Head to head
Two players side by side, first to empty wins.
Team relay
Each team member must empty a box before the next starts.
Safety1
- Balls on the floor are a slip hazard — clear them between turns.
