IPS Podium Challenge

The IPS Podium Challenge is an interactive reaction game built round wireless light-up cones, also known as interactive sports cones. A cone lights up, players race to touch it, the hit registers on the portable digital scoreboard and the next cone activates. Because the cones are wireless you can lay them out how you like: spread wide for a sprint-and-react challenge, packed close for an agility drill, or in a horseshoe for head-to-head play.

Three ways to play

The control unit runs three game modes: a solo run against the clock, head-to-head where the higher score wins, and a team mode that keeps a whole group cycling through. Scores log to a leaderboard across the day, and we can supply a member of staff to operate the game, run the competitions and keep the leaderboard updated for up to 3 hours.

Where it gets used

It works as a training drill too - football and basketball coaches set it up so players dribble to whichever cone lights up, which adds ball skills to the sprint. It gets booked for team building days, school sports days, scout events and freshers fairs, and we've taken it to weddings and christenings where guests of any age want a go. We've run it at Rotherham United's fan zone outside the New York Stadium, on school fields in Sheffield, Doncaster and Chesterfield, and nationwide for larger bookings.

Jonathan Jones, who booked the Podium alongside Laser Quest and other games, said: "We have booked various events with DB Entertainment over the past 4 years and the service has on each occasion been excellent."

We've been hiring out interactive games from our Rotherham warehouse since 1999 with a 5/5 Google rating from 200+ reviews, and 95% of the kit on this website is owned and maintained in-house. The Podium sits in our exhibition game hire range alongside the Batak Lite Reaction Game, the Reaction Table Game Hire and The Vault.
