Whack a Snowman – or Smash a Snowman, or Snowman Smash, depending who’s asking – is our festive reskin of Whack a Mole. Same two-player reaction game, same foam mallets and digital scoreboard, just dressed head to toe in snowmen, snowflakes and bare winter branches for the Christmas party season. We hire it out for corporate Christmas parties, school fairs, office celebrations and university events all the way through December.
Two players step up, grab the tethered mallets and belt the lit snowman pads as fast as they can before the timer runs out. Every hit scores, and the player with the highest score gets crowned the ultimate snowman smasher. It’s free play so no coins needed, and children and adults can both have a proper go – it’s one of those games where the queue forms itself.
Indoor or out, carpet or Christmas market
The cabinet sits happily indoors on carpet, hard floor or artificial grass, and outdoors on grass, concrete, tarmac or a grass-and-hard mix – we’ve run it on town-centre Christmas market pitches as well as in hotel function rooms. It’s counter height, the LED strip and digital scoreboard pull a crowd without needing an MC, and the snowman vinyl reads as Christmas the moment you walk in the room.
Branded for a stand or a launch
If you’re booking it for an exhibition stand, product launch or branded Christmas activation, we can wrap the cabinet in your logo, colours and messaging. It’s a genuinely good spot to put a brand – players stand at the cabinet for a full game, not a two-second glance. Pair it with Whack a Zombie for Halloween or Whack a Mole year-round and you’ve got a matching set across the seasons.
Build it into a Christmas package
Whack a Snowman pairs well with Bounce a Ball Reindeer Racing for head-to-head fun, our Giant Inflatable Snow Globe for festive photos, or the wider Christmas hire range – one delivery and one crew for the lot.
We’ve been hiring arcade games and inflatables out of Sheffield and Rotherham for 25+ years, our stock is 95% in-house (not sub-hired), and we carry £5M public liability. From Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop and Chesterfield we run regular deliveries across Yorkshire, the Midlands and Greater Manchester, and further afield to London, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham, the NEC, Manchester Central, Telford and ExCel for exhibition work.
