Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Blocks: Carefully remove all 54 hardwood blocks from their packaging.
- Build the Starting Tower: On a flat, stable surface, stack the blocks in layers of three. Each layer should be placed at a 90-degree angle to the layer below it. For example, if the first layer's blocks are oriented north-south, the second layer's blocks should be oriented east-west.
- Complete the Tower: Continue stacking until all 18 layers (54 blocks total) are used. The starting tower will be approximately 22 inches (56 cm) high.
- Prepare the Play Area: Ensure there is enough clear space around the tower for players to move and for the blocks to fall safely when the tower eventually collapses.
Operating Instructions: How to Play Jenga GIANT
The objective of Jenga GIANT is to be the last player to remove and stack a block without causing the tower to fall. The game is played by 1 or more players.
Game Play Steps:
- Starting the Game: The player who built the tower goes first, or players can decide on another method to determine the first player.
- Taking a Turn: On your turn, carefully remove one block from any level below the highest complete level of the tower. You may use only one hand to remove the block. You can touch blocks to find a loose one, but if you move a block, you must either remove it or return it to its original position before touching another block.
- Placing the Block: Once a block is removed, place it on the topmost level of the tower. Blocks must be placed to complete a layer of three before starting a new layer. The new layer should be perpendicular to the layer below it.
- Ending Your Turn: Your turn ends 10 seconds after you have successfully placed your block on top, or as soon as the next player touches the tower, whichever comes first.
- Losing the Game: The player who causes the tower to fall, either by removing a block or by placing one, loses the game. If only one player is playing, the game ends when the tower falls.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe blocks with a dry or slightly damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store blocks in their original sturdy box in a dry environment to prevent warping or damage.
- Natural Wear: The hardwood blocks are designed to age gracefully. Minor nicks and dents are a normal part of wear and will not affect gameplay.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not expose blocks to excessive moisture or extreme temperature changes, as this can cause the wood to expand, contract, or warp.
Troubleshooting
- Tower is unstable during setup:
- Ensure the playing surface is completely flat and stable. Verify that each layer of three blocks is placed tightly together and at a perfect 90-degree angle to the layer below it.
- Blocks feel too tight or too loose:
- Variations in wood grain and humidity can affect how blocks slide. This is normal and part of the game's challenge. Over time, blocks will develop a natural "feel" as they are played with.
- Missing blocks:
- Refer to the Warranty and Support section for information on replacing missing blocks.
