  • 27 hardwood Jenga blocks with resealable plastic storage bag
  • Passing platform
  • Stacking stand

How to Play

  1. Build the tower. The illustration labels the 27 blocks, the passing platform and the stacking stand.

  2. Pull from below the highest completed level. You can touch the blocks to find a loose one!

  3. (Illustration only; the sheet gives no caption for this step. It shows a block being placed on top of the tower.)

  4. Pass the tower.

  5. Keep going until the tower falls.

How to Win

Be the last player to successfully stack a block and pass the platform without causing the tower to crash.

More to Know

When you pass the platform with the blocks stacked on it, your turn is not considered successful until you are no longer touching any part of the platform.

If the tower falls while both players are touching it in any way, both players lose.

Try These Challenges!

Are you a Jenga Pass master? Prove it! Try these challenges, or make up your own. Check each one off to keep track of the ones you complete.

For some challenges, you will need to supply materials that are not included.

  1. Flamingo Fumble. Take your turn, then pass the stack under your leg, making sure not to knock any blocks off the stack.

  2. Chopstick Challenge. Use chopsticks to take out and stack the blocks. If you drop a block, take another turn before you pass the stack.

  3. Zombie Stack. Play with your arms fully outstretched like a zombie. Extra zombie moves are encouraged!

  4. Blind Block. Sit down and take your turn with your eyes closed. A partner can give you verbal tips to keep the stack from falling.

  5. Jenga Race. Two players hold the stack and race to pull and place a block successfully at the same time. The player who places the block first is the winner, and takes their hand off. The loser has to play against the next player, after placing their own block.

  6. Block Stalker. One player tries to distract and psych out the player currently taking their turn.

  7. Sock Shock. Wear socks on your hands while you play. If you drop a block, take another turn before you pass the stack.

  8. Stick & Stack. Play with tape looped around your fingers, sticky side out. This will make it much more difficult to place the block.

  9. Block & Ball Pass. This is an outdoor challenge! Players pass a soccer ball between them while playing. After you pass the stack, pass the ball. (Be sure to clear the area, and just tap the ball.)

  • Up, Down, or Turn Around. Players must squat, stand on tiptoes, or spin in a circle before they can pass the stack. If you do all three, the next player must stack two blocks!
