Setup and how to play

Snake and Balls

A tabletop snake maze, 17 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Here's how to set it up and play it solo, head to head or with a group.

What's in the box

  • Snake maze board on a birch wood base and stand
  • Ball bearing

Setup

  1. Unpack it

    Take the maze and the ball bearing out of the box and check the ball isn't still in the packing.

  2. Stand it up

    Set the stand on a flat, steady table or coffee table with room on both sides for your hands.

    Stand it up
  3. Load the ball

    Put the ball bearing at the start, at the bottom of the snake, before every round.

How to play

Solo against the clock

Start a timer and stop it when the ball reaches the snake's head. Write your time down and try to beat it next round.

Where this challenge comes from

This is a replica of the snake maze version of House of the Holey, played on Survivor 37 (Episode 5), 38 (Episode 6), Winners at War (Season 40, Episode 8) and 44 (Episode 2). Ours is a tabletop size so you can play it at home.
