About Straw in Bottle

Straw in Bottle is a timing and placement game that tests precision, reflexes, and quick thinking. Straws swing, move, or drop across the top of the screen, and your goal is to place bottles at just the right moment so that each straw lands safely inside. The game starts simple but gradually increases in difficulty, adding more straws, faster movement, or complex patterns as you progress.

Designed for quick browser play, the Straw in Bottle Game works on mobile, tablet, and desktop. No downloads or accounts are required, making it ideal for casual practice, family fun, or short reflex training sessions. Its easy-to-learn mechanics make it accessible to players of all ages, while the progressive challenge keeps more experienced players engaged.

How to Play the Straw in Bottle Game

Press Start to begin. Straws will appear and start moving according to the level design.

Tap, click, or press Space to place a bottle under the straw at the right moment.

Successful placements count as captured straws, while missed placements may result in the straw falling or being lost.

Each level may introduce more straws, change swing speeds, or modify movement patterns for added difficulty.

Scoring & Progression

Players earn points for each straw successfully placed in a bottle, with bonus points for consecutive captures. As you advance, levels become more challenging by increasing the number of straws, varying speeds, and introducing unpredictable movement patterns. The game rewards precision, rhythm, and consistent timing.

Streaks of perfect captures can increase your score multiplier and encourage careful observation rather than random placements. Longer sessions provide opportunities to refine timing and master more complex straw patterns.

Controls & Accessibility

The game uses simple, intuitive controls: tap the screen, click with a mouse, or press Space. HUD elements and in-game overlays include semantic labels for assistive technologies. Additionally, aria-live regions announce important changes for screen readers. Players needing larger touch targets or higher contrast can adjust browser accessibility settings or request an in-game accessibility toggle.

Tips & Strategy

Observe the rhythm of each straw’s movement — consistent timing is more effective than rapid clicking.

Focus on straws with predictable motion when multiple straws appear simultaneously.

Practice short sessions to build confidence before attempting long runs.

Plan your placements in advance to maintain streaks and maximize points.
