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?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shell Game at 100% against Dunk Hit's 57%. Shell Game also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Dunk Hit's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (157K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dunk Hit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunk Hit has 157K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Shell Game's written reviews are positive against 57% of Dunk Hit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shell Game ships an update every 3 months, Dunk Hit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
