Cuponk

Cuponk. It sounds silly and it is. But give it a couple of goes and you’ll be hopelessly hooked. Based on those astounding viral vids of bored slackers bouncing ping-pong balls off various unlikely surfaces into cups, this stupendously addictive game is set to take over your life. Boing!

The idea is simple: bounce your ball into the Cuponk cup to illuminate it and hear a cacophony of bleeps. Muff it and opponents get a go. Easy, eh? If only, because Cuponk comes with 30 trick cards that tell you precisely what kind of jaw-dropping shot you must perform. Better still the entire house/office is your playing field. You’ll be amazed what’s possible!

But what about those shots? Well there’s Off the Deep End, a shot that involves bouncing the ball off a table; The Dunce, a tricky bounce utilising two walls; and our personal fave, Karate Krane, in which all you Cuponkers must adopt a karate stance and bounce the ball off your knees. Dignity? What dignity? Aargh, the balls!
