KerPlunk!

Getting Started

Scan the QR code or tap the NFC tag to open this app. Select the number of players, optionally enable the Color Picker, enter player names, and tap START GAME. Play order is randomized automatically.

Color Picker

When enabled, tap 🎨 Color Picker at the start of each turn to randomly select which color stick the current player must pull. The stick bars at the top track how many of each color remain.

Recording Balls

After a player pulls their stick(s), use the + and − buttons to enter how many balls dropped this turn, then tap RECORD to log the score and advance to the next player.

Ending the Game

The game ends automatically when all 60 balls have dropped. Tap END GAME in the header to finish early. The player with the fewest balls dropped wins.

Object

Pull sticks from the KerPlunk tube without dropping balls. The player who drops the fewest balls when all sticks are gone wins!

Setup

• Thread all 27 sticks through the holes in the tube — 9 red, 9 yellow, 9 green.
• Drop all 60 marbles into the top of the tube so they rest on the sticks.
• Players take turns in the order shown after setup.

Taking a Turn

• On your turn, pull out one stick from the tube.
• Count how many balls fall into your tray — those are your points for the turn.
• Enter the ball count in the app and tap RECORD.
• Play passes to the next player.

Color Picker Option

With the Color Picker enabled, each player must pull a stick of the randomly selected color. If no sticks of that color remain, the picker will only show available colors.

Winning

The game ends when all 60 balls have dropped. The player with the lowest total ball count wins. In case of a tie, tied players each pull one more stick — lowest drop wins.
