Guide hats, huts, pigeons and Aug. 10 calendars through the wide opening and into the wheel. A miss sticks outside and blocks later arrivals.
TODAY'S NEWS
In Japan, Aug. 10 is Hat Day: “hat,” “hut,” hato (“pigeon”) and 810 can sound or look connected. A new “Bokura wa 810” TV commercial bringing related companies and groups together was released Aug. 4, 2026; Ringer Hut documented the alliance's Hat Day collaboration in 2025.
LINE UP THE WIDE GOLD ENTRY AND GUIDE EACH SHAPE INSIDE
Trace around the rim and the wheel follows your finger. Successes settle inside and add coalition weight. Misses stay outside with real hitboxes, so later arrivals can collide and add more clutter. Counter-trace briefly to brake before overshoot.

WHY THIS GAME?
A shared sound creates a new membership rule; every success makes the alliance harder to coordinate. The game turns that news structure into a flywheel whose accepted members remain as physical load.
