Spinning party and puzzle game

Abstract

A spinning party and puzzle game designed to challenge puzzle players with matching pieces to the correct sized indention while the puzzle may be moving. The game may spin, tilt, or shake to increase player challenge. The puzzle game may be a drinking game that challenges players to drink and match a cup or glass to spaces in a tray and replace the cup before a time runs out or faster than another player or team. For further challenge faux plugs may be inserted into indentions/spaces so some spaces may not be available for play. A timer may increase challenge of play and lights or sounds and other additions such as a blindfold or faux spaces may increase challenge and/or enjoyment of game. The game tray may be modified to connect to a water source to create a water game with ports in the tray where water exits. These ports may have valves or other opening and closing mechanisms controlled by pressure or weight sensors or other means.
