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

"(Pitchburst is) excellent for rental to nightclubs and corporate events - also family fun days" - Roy Barlow, The Entertainment Biz, Christchurch, England

WHY PICK PITCHBURST?

· Unique, new and always fun for: parties, fundraisers, corporate and community events, carnivals, camps, promotions and more. Easy play for families, young kids, preteens and teens, adults of any age!

· Simplest low-risk water game you can find for special events - the water falls, people don't, so there are no size, age or physical restrictions.

· Not just water -- you can play with confetti in the balloons... or "slime"... or flour... or any fun "fillings" -- see "10 Great Ways to Play Pitchburst" (below)

· As much fun to watch as it is to play - they'll line up by the hundreds to try and splursh a VIP; non-playing kids   even line up to sit and get splurshed!

· Goes anywhere - even plays well indoors when it's cold outside (see "10 Great Ways to Play"). Minimum space  needed is only about 10' by 10'.

· Low water use -- delivers an entertaining splursh! with as little as a quart of water, and a total soaking with just a gallon in an 11-inch balloon

· Unlike traditional dunk tanks, there's no need for trailers, electric or plumbing hookups, or 500-gallon fill-ups

   

10 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.
