Shell Shuffle
The ball hides under a shell. The shells dance. Do not lose it.
How to play
- Watch which shell hides the ball
- Follow it through the swaps
- Tap the shell holding the ball
- 3 lives; more shells and faster swaps
What it trains
Attention. Following one shell through motion is object tracking, and human capacity is famously narrow: about 4 moving objects at once in multiple-object-tracking studies, fewer as speed rises. Street shell games exploit the moment tracking breaks, and level 8 here is built to find that moment honestly, without the sleight of hand.

One honest tip
Lock your eyes on the target shell itself, not the pattern of swapping. One object, one track.
