The Bounce A Ball is a head-to-head electronic carnival game built by Carnival Games. Two players stand side by side and bounce balls off the pad into four sunburst target slots. Top slots score 5 points, the centre 3 and the bottom 1, with a 15 second timer keeping the pace up. Every hit lights up your side of the board, so your blue LED track races your opponent's red one to the finish line.
It's the modern take on the roll-a-ball derby, and it adds a genuine element of skill. You can bounce one ball at a time or two, and decide whether to chase the 5-point top slots or just get scores on the board before the timer runs out.
The 2 player machine measures 5ft x 5ft and stands 6ft tall. Lightweight and self-contained, it sets up almost anywhere, from offices to dinner parties, indoors or out. A clear divider sits between the two players and each side has its own balls. Two machines can be linked for a 4 player setup, and we hire it as 2 or 4 player depending on your event and budget.
This is one of our most popular products for branding and product promotion. The artwork swaps between themes - carnival, speedway racing or Christmas reindeer racing - and we print your logo on the skirt, the scoreboard top or the full front wrap. Companies use it for private parties, trade fairs, conferences, exhibition stands, product launches, sales promotions and experiential marketing.
It pairs well with the Horse Racing Gold Cup, Atari Pong Table and Virtual Bowling if you're building a games line-up, and with its sister machines, the Bounce A Ball Game Hire speedway version and the Bounce a Ball Reindeer Racing Christmas version.
We hired a number of pieces of carnival games from DB Entertainment and wow! It was incredible, great value for money, super friendly and punctual staff. Sophie said after hiring several carnival games from us.
