Pin Circle World Record
The highest verified level cleared is 33, reached by 🇸🇬 10000_Dollar_Fridge with 241 pins over 192s.
What's this?
It's a reaction-based casual game similar to Core Ball (aka coreball). The gameplay is simple: fire pins into the spinning circle and try not to clip the pins already stuck in it. Things start easy, but don't be fooled: soon the circle begins moving more erratically, and every pin you land leaves less room for the next one. Clear all pins in your queue to move on.
How can I improve my score?
- Avoid the temptation to shoot right away. Let the circle go around once or more so you get a feel for the speed.
- Shoot for obvious gaps first and try to keep tight to what's there. Every pin you add squeezes what's left.
- Watch the empty space, not the pins. Your eyes lock onto a moving gap far better than a moving target.
- As soon as the circle flips direction or speeds up, hold off and recalibrate.
Typical beginner mistakes
- Letting the pressure get to you. As the circle gets faster, it's easy to think you need to shoot faster too. But don't forget you're not competing on time. You can absolutely take your finger off the trigger and plan your next move calmly.
- "One pin, one gap". For larger gaps at lower levels, try firing pins in succession, so several pins fill the same gap.
How do the levels work?
There are 100 levels in total, with different challenges starting at different stages. Fail a level and you're back to the start: no milestones. Getting to 100 takes both patience and skill.
| Level | What you get |
|---|---|
| 1-5 | Easy warm-up with a steady clockwise spin and no surprises |
| 6+ | Speed jumps and irregular pin placement |
| 8+ | Unpredictable changes in direction mid-spin |
| 11+ | Counter-clockwise spins start |
| 21+ | More irregular pin placement |
| 46+ | "Squeeze layouts" (more tightly packed pins) |
| 76+ | Everything combined for the final stretch |
I reached Level X. Is that good?

This was fun. What else can I play?
This game (Pin Circle) relies on your reaction time. The Aim Trainer adds in movement to test your accuracy firing at targets.
