CHANDELIER (COMPLEX)

FREE FOR ALL 

Equipment:

  • 5 Red solo cups (one per person and one in the middle)
  • 1 Ping pong ball

Rules:

  • Fill the middle cup halfway with water and place each players cup around the middle one so that it is completely surrounded (pictures below).
  • The player who goes first (player in last place) will take the ping pong ball and bounce the ball on the table (or hard surface) and try to get it into one of their opponents cups. 
  • If they successfully land the ball in another player’s cup, that player and the player who bounced it will grab their cups and play flip cup (instructions below)!
  • The player that flips their cup last loses a life. Each player has 3 lives. Put the cups back around the middle one and continue to play.
  • Players get one bounce before passing it clockwise to the next player. If they sink the ball in their cup or miss all the cups, nothing happens. Pass the ball to the next player and continue.
  • If the ball is sunk in the MIDDLE CUP everyone grabs their cup and races to flip it (everyone plays flip cup). Last one loses a life and the game continues. 
  • Last one standing wins! 

Additional drinking rules (if drinking):

  • If you want you can pour your drink into your cup a quarter way full. Before you flip your cup you must drink!
  • If you do not want the cups to get dirty, everyone before they flip cup has to take a drink from their drink.

What is flip cup?

  1. Each player quickly grabs their cup and places it face up on the edge of the table with a small portion of their cup hanging off the edge. 
  2. From there each player as quick as they can will try to flip their cup with a flick of their finger so that it lands face down on the table (photo below). 
  3. Keep attempting to flip the cup until one player is successful.

 

The photo below is how it should look set up as well as player one attempting to bounce it in a cup!
