Ball Run Challenge

The Ball Run Challenge - sometimes called a wipeout inflatable or an inflatable obstacle challenge - is a 60ft enclosed inflatable tunnel where players cross a row of raised stepping pads while large balls hanging from the overhead frame swing across the path. The aim is to get from one end to the other without being knocked off. The balls hang on ropes, so they keep moving throughout, which means timing counts as much as balance.

The tunnel is enclosed, with mesh netting on the sides so spectators can watch from outside. There is a padded ramp at the entry point. It takes up to 10 players per game and can be set up indoors or outdoors.

Works well at

School fun days, corporate fun days and team-building events, birthday parties, community festivals and university events. The mesh sides mean it is as entertaining to watch as it is to take part in, and people tend to come back for another go after they have been through.

We deliver and set up from our commercial unit in Havant, and we have been doing this since 2002. All the kit is ours - no sub-contracting. Our in-house RPII inspector tests and tags every inflatable annually under the PIPA scheme, which is the inspection scheme recognised by the HSE. All our staff have passed the RPII operators and supervisors exams, are first-aid trained, and hold enhanced DBS certificates - which matters for school bookings and council events. We carry £10 million public liability insurance, with the certificate available on request, and we hold additional licensed-premises cover, so there is no issue if your venue is a pub, club or bar.

Tina from Specsavers wrote after her event: "Your company has been a pleasure to deal with, both during the bookings and on site. Friendly and efficient, what more could we have asked for?!"

The Big Balls Challenge is a related Wipeout-style inflatable - also 60ft, but with four large striped balls on raised platforms that you jump across rather than dodge. The Mangle Run is a different kind of inflatable obstacle, and the Dash N Grab pairs well with either for a bigger fun day.
