The High Striker is the traditional carnival "test your strength" game - also called a strongman game or carnival strength tester. Swing the mallet, hit the pad, send the puck up the tower and try to ring the bell at the top. The 10-100 scale gives every player a score, and the difficulty is adjustable, so it can be set hard for grown-ups at a corporate do or eased off so the children can ring the bell too.
It's been hired out for universities and student unions, summer balls, team building and corporate events, and it sits just as well at a fun-fair themed party, school rewards day or brand activation. Wet & Forget said on Trustpilot: "High striker was a brilliant game to get everyone in the competitive mood and get everyone laughing together (and at each other)."
The unit works indoors on hard standing or artificial grass - we've set it up on exhibition hall carpet and beside corporate stands - and outdoors on grass for village fetes, family days and fun-fair themed parties. It needs grass or firm hard standing outdoors; not concrete or wood chip. No mains power is needed; the game is mechanically operated.
We deliver from our Rotherham warehouse across Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop, Chesterfield and the rest of the UK, with one of our own crew setting up and collecting. We've been hiring funfair kit for over 25 years and own 95% of it in-house, with £5 million public liability insurance on every hire.

Or drop us an enquiry if you'd like to talk through staff, leader boards or prizes, or putting the striker into a wider fun fair package - we can pair it with the Ultimate High Striker for an LED, digital-scoring version, or with side stall games like Coconut Shy and Roller Bowler for a proper traditional fair.
