The rules take ten seconds to explain: slide one block out of the tower and balance it on top, and the first person to bring the whole thing down loses. Our giant Jenga is built from chunky hardwood blocks and the tower grows past a metre tall as the game goes on, which is roughly the point where the people waiting for their turn stop chatting and start coaching.

Nobody needs a demonstration and nobody needs to run it, so it works anywhere the party has room for a small table-sized footprint. We've sent it to weddings with giant Connect 4, and it went out with Beat the Buzzer, space hoppers, penalty shootout and giant snakes and ladders for a company fun day in Doncaster where the games corner ran itself all afternoon while the families got on with the rest of the day.

There's no power and no setup beyond stacking the first tower, and it plays on grass, hard standing or an indoor floor. From £49 including VAT, delivered and set up by our own drivers, though the £50 delivery minimum spend means it usually travels out as part of a bigger order.

We've been hiring out games like this since 1999, the kit is owned and maintained in-house at our 25,000 sq ft warehouse near the M1, and every hire includes £5 million public liability insurance. Giant Jenga is an add-on rather than a standalone booking, so there is no quote button on this page. Add it from the extras list when you get a quote on any other item, or ring us on 0114 345 0135 and we'll add it to your booking.
