Can you find the ball? Challenge yourself and your friends with this free casual game. As you walk through the street of Paris, your eye tracking skills will be tested like never before. Shell Game takes a few seconds to understand but will push you to your limits. The goal of Shell Game is very straightforward: three or more identical cups are placed face down on a table. A small ball is placed beneath one of these containers so that it cannot be seen and they are then shuffled. You are then invited to choose the container which holds the ball. Can your eyes be trained to level up, guess the right container and let you go up the international rankings?

This game is the sequel to “TrapAdventure”. It’s unfair. It’s frustrating. And it absolutely does not care about your feelings. You will fail. Repeatedly. You will question your skills. Possibly your life choices. But if you’re the kind of player who laughs at pain and keeps going anyway, this game might be for you. The game is brutal on purpose. Consider this a challenge. Good luck. You’ll need it.
