Apple Slices
$30.00

A Hands-On Puzzle of Logic, Luck, and Wiggly Surprises!

Twist and turn with the Apple Slices Game—an original tabletop adventure where players compete to outsmart the worm hiding inside a stackable apple. Designed with rotating slices, hidden movement, and just the right balance of chance and strategy, this game invites players of all ages to engage their minds and their hands.

Each apple is a tactile, layered puzzle: six numbered slices rotate around a secret core. Roll the dice to select which slice to move, guess where the sneaky worm might pop out next, and race your friends to uncover—or avoid—the mischievous green intruder.

What’s Inside:

  • 1 Rotatable Apple Game Piece (6 stackable slices with tabs)

  • 1 Worm Token

  • 1 Standard 6-sided Die

  • 1 4-sided Die

  • Rules card (also accessible via built-in NFC link)

Why We Love It:
Invented and made in-house at At The Purple House, this game was designed in CAD and 3d printed in the Banjo Shop! It is hand-assembled, and full of the kind of creative joy we live for. Whether you're playing at the kitchen table or gifting to a curious learner, Apple Slices is a conversation-starter and a delight to play!

Designed for 1–6 players | Ages 4+ | Playtime: 10–15 min of Apple Munching Fun!

Need a quick how-to? Tap your phone to the bump-out below the final hole in the game for instant access to the rules and tutorial video.

Rules of play:

SETUP - Start by unscrewing the stem and removing the top slice of the apple. Take out the worm token and both dice stored inside. Re-stack the apple slices in order if needed, and screw the stem back on loosely so the slices can rotate freely. Line up the top hole (slice 6) and all numbered tabs (5 down to 1) with the bump-out on the apple’s base—this is your standard starting position. Place the worm token in the hole on slice 6 to begin the game.

GAMEPLAY - Players take turns in clockwise order. On your turn, roll both dice. The 4-sided die tells you how many clicks to rotate a slice. The white 6-sided die tells you which numbered slice to rotate. If you roll a 6 on the white die, it’s wild: you may move any combination of slices, including the top #6 slice.

The green 4-sided die tells you how many clicks to rotate a slice. Rotate your chosen slice left, right, or split the clicks between directions. When a slice is turned, all the slices above rotate with it, while those below stay still. You must use the exact number of clicks rolled, and you must always take your turn.

HOW TO WIN - The first player whose turn allows the worm to munch through all the slices and falls out the bottom is the winner!

WARNING - This game contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years of age or for individuals who may be at risk. of choking on small objects.
