Can you keep your eyes on a sneaky hamster? Teacup Trickster: Hamster Shuffle is a charming 3D twist on the classic shell game, set on a pink checkered tea table. Hazel the hamster waves hello from under one porcelain teacup, the cups drop, and then they whirl around the table in swaps, three-cup rotations and dizzy table spins. When the shuffling stops, tap the cup you think she is hiding under - guess right and she pops out cheering in a shower of sunflower seeds; guess wrong and she shrugs from somewhere else entirely. Thirty levels steadily raise the challenge with more cups, faster and longer shuffles, sudden table spins, rounds with two hamsters to track at once and blink-and-you-miss-it vanishing swaps. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard, earn three stars for a perfect run and train your focus, visual tracking and short-term memory along the way. A cozy brain game that is quick to learn and hard to master on phones, tablets and desktop.
