Play
Pitchburst® and make a "SPLURSH" -
It's a proven crowd pleaser!
People
worldwide love to play Pitchburst® at parties, fund raisers, carnivals,
fairs, festivals, corporate events and more. It's safe and simple
to play - pitch a ball, hit the target and - splursh! - a water
balloon bursts overhead. Pitchburst combines the soaking fun of
a dunk tank with patented, go-anywhere portability. So unique,
it's been called "the 21st century dunking booth" for
its fun, simple design, versatility and environmental friendliness.
"Pitchburst
is always the most popular game at every event we do. We can always
expect this game to be a big hit!" - Rick Hilton, Hilton
Family Entertainment, Duncansville PA
"Unlike
traditional dunk tanks, the line to sit in the wet seat is as long
as the throw line... From children to grandparents, nobody is left
out when this game is set up at an event!" -- David Spata, Fun
Ones Moon Jump, Lombard IL
WWW.THEFUNONES.COM
"(Pitchburst
is) excellent for rental to nightclubs and corporate events -
also family fun days" - Roy Barlow, The Entertainment Biz,
Christchurch, England
*Pitchburst has been featured on ABC-TV's "Wife Swap",
ESPN's "Cold Pizza" sports show and Canadian Broadcasting's "The
X" show.

GREAT WAYS TO PLAY PITCHBURST®
1.
CLASSIC
- Use full 11" or 12" water balloons. Pitch the ball,
hit the target and SPLURSH! Extra fun for fund raisers when you
charge $1 to $5 for 3 throws. Sometimes kids will line up and
pay just to sit in the chair to be the one splurshed!
2.
LITE -
Fill 11" balloons with 1 quart (or less) of water, inflate
the rest with air. Same fun action, less water used (good when
it's chilly out, or you're indoors with a kiddie pool to catch
the Splursh water).
3.
SPLURSH OFF!
- Use TWO Pitchburst games facing one another. Each contestant
is both pitcher and Splurshee
each takes turn pitching while
the other sits. First to SPLURSH the other wins! Get 2 popular
VIPs to play for charity and crowd will cheer! (Can be played
on one game too, but that requires more running around.)
4.
CONFETTI
- Use confetti instead of water in balloons (make your own with
a funnel, or buy hand-filled confetti balloons from us). Great
for indoors, or when your VIP good sport really doesn't want to
get wet! Also adds a great popping sound!
5.
SLIME! (OR APPLESAUCE OR PUDDING)-
Kids have seen it on TV, so make it happen for wild and crazy
events. Insert food-colored applesauce or pudding through a funnel
(fill about 1/2 full) and inflate the rest with air. Be prepared
to clean up, though.
6.
FLOUR-
In a POP! your splurshee looks like a powdered donut! Funnel in
simple white flour (about 1/2 cup does fine), and fill the rest
with air. Nice variety especially for indoor fun.
7.
MYSTERY SPLURSH!- Unique combo game first used in London:
Fill 4 opaque, numbered balloons: one each with water, flour,
pudding, confetti. Let your Splurshee choose which number balloon
they want to sit under - nobody knows what they'll get hit with
until the target's hit. Great crowd excitement builder!
8.
FUNNELED FUEL-This one's unique for the pub or spring
break crowd. Fill balloons with your favorite beverage (from tap
makes it easiest). Splurshee sits in chair below the balloon,
holding wide funnel in their mouth. When target's hit and balloon
bursts, Splurshee gets a funnel full to drink. (Caution: see special
note below.)
9.
PIN THE SPLURSH ON THE SPLURSHEE- A tame but fun game
for little tikes. With someone ready to be splurshed (we recommend
just a little water as in #2 above), the "pitcher" is
blindfolded and given a Jugglebeanball. Instead of throwing, they're
turned around 3 times and told to push the ball into the red target.
10
. WHEELCHAIR-Finally, a dunking game for fun loving
people with disabilities. Pitchburst can be played in wheelchairs,
by both the pitcher and the splurshee!
Please
Note: Operator is responsible for user safety playing Pitchburst.
Please dispose of broken balloons immediately, and keep all balloons
away from small children. Playing Pitchburst games, including
those listed above, should be supervised by competent and responsible
adults to avoid dangerous conditions and behaviors.
PITCHBURST: NOW
A CORPORATE FUN MACHINE TOO!
Time Magazine (October 13, 2003)
reported that "The Work front has become a grind. Yet some
firms believe that serious business is done better with a
laugh now and then". What better way
to generate a profit- or morale-boosting laugh than with
Pitchburst. Several world-famous candy, sneaker,
pharmaceutical, computer and financial companies have already
discovered the thrill of "splurshing" the boss or co-workers for
fun at team-building, family, charity/community service and
fundraising events. One Chicago company raised $7000 in one
day using 2 Pitchburst games (see Splursh Off! game #3 above)
charging $5, 10, even $20 to pitch and try to "splursh" the senior
managers.
Pitchburst is also a distinctive
fun promotional tool for brands too. Please call to ask
about special branding and themed options for large promotions.
