Create a Three Shell Game in Flash – Active Premium

The shell game is a cliché of street corners in black and white movies and modern cities: the hustler puts a pea under one of three shells, and swaps the shells around rapidly, challenging you to pick the shell with the pea underneath. The punter will typically get it correct… right up to the point where big money is at stake, or when the punter isn’t one of the hustler’s cronies.
