Gladiator Duel

The Gladiator Duel is a two-player inflatable joust - the kind of game the Gladiators TV show called Duel. Two contestants put on padded headguards, climb onto opposite podiums and swing padded pugil sticks at each other until one of them lands on the inflatable bed below. Children and adults can both play, and the kit comes with two padded headguards and two pugil sticks so it's ready to run as soon as we inflate it.

One bout lasts seconds, so the queue moves quickly and the game gets through a lot of guests in a session. School fun days, corporate team-building, weddings, birthdays, fetes and charity fundays are the typical bookings.

The inflatable is 18ft square and 9ft high, and it runs on a single 13-amp socket within 25 metres of where you want it set up. We bring the inflatable, blower, two padded pugil sticks and two padded headguards. Indoors it goes on a sports-hall floor, artificial grass or hard standing. Outdoors it needs grass; we can't set it up on concrete, on hard standing, on a mix of grass and hard surface, or on wood chip. If there's no mains within reach we can bring a generator for an extra charge.

We ship from a warehouse five minutes off the M1 in Rotherham, so Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Chesterfield are short delivery runs, and the rest of the UK is well within reach for larger bookings. We've been hiring inflatables since 1999, we own 95% of our stock in-house - this Gladiator Duel included - and every hire is backed by £5 million public liability insurance, with risk assessments and method statements sent to your venue before the day.

Bundle it into the Action Package

The Gladiator Duel sits in our Action Package alongside other two-person and team-vs-team games, which works out cheaper than booking each piece separately for a multi-activity day. For another one-on-one inflatable, Bouncy Boxing pairs well, and Bungee Run keeps the same head-to-head feel over a longer strip. If you'd rather run a scored competition circuit across several activities than a single hire, our Gladiator Challenge format is built for that - same kit, different shape.

All our inflatables need a responsible adult over 18 supervising at all times. If you don't have your own, we can supply a trained event attendant to run the Gladiator Duel hands-free on the day - add the option in the extras step when you get a quote. Hit the green button to add the Gladiator Duel to your quote and we'll get back to you the same day.
