About

One ball. Three cups. Can you keep track?

Watch the ball disappear under a cup, follow the shuffle, and tap your pick. Thimblerig brings the classic shell game to iPhone and iPad, with four difficulty settings and three ways to play.

PLAY AT YOUR PACE Start on Easy, or choose Medium, Hard or Expert for faster shuffles. Correct picks build your score and streak as you move through the levels.

TRY A DIFFERENT CHALLENGE Play up to five Daily Challenge rounds with three lives, or race the clock in a 30-, 60- or 120-second Time Trial. Review your scores, accuracy and game history, then try to beat your own best.

MAKE IT YOURS Choose sound and haptic settings, turn on an optional daily reminder, and play in portrait or landscape. Reach level 100 to unlock the alternate Classic app icon. Look out for an occasional joke after a win.

The game is free and ad-free. No account is required, and the core game works offline. The cup-and-ball shell game is also known as thimblerig: follow the cups and find the ball.
