Players, taking alternate turns, must be the quickest to place all 25 shapes into the holes on the game tray. First, all shapes are placed next to the game unit, in a mixed order, with handles facing up. Next, the timer is set for the full 60 seconds and the pop-up tray is pushed down. As soon as the timer starts, the player will quickly start fitting each shape into its matching hole. If the player completes this before the time is up, he/she pushes the STOP button and records the time. If the player fails to place all the shapes into the tray and hit stop before the time is up, the tray will pop up, scattering the pieces around the game tray. The next player then takes a turn. The winner is the player to complete the tray full of shapes in the shortest amount of time.
