In one corner, your first contender. In the other, somebody who was absolutely certain this would be easy five minutes ago.
Our Rock and Roller Gladiator Duel Hire #25x25ft turns a two-player gladiator duel into a considerably wobblier affair. Participants take their places on the rocking platform, grab their padded joust poles and attempt to stay upright while persuading their opponent to do precisely the opposite.
The catch? The platform underneath them moves too. Staying on your feet is therefore only half the battle. Staying on your feet while trying to knock somebody else off theirs is where things start to rock.
Seconds Out, Round One
Each bout begins with two participants entering the inflatable arena and taking their positions on the rocking platform. Armed with padded joust poles, they can then go head-to-head while simultaneously compensating for the movement beneath them.
Balance and timing quickly become just as important as the actual jousting. A player might look comfortably in control one second and considerably less dignified the next.
For fair and appropriate rounds, we recommend pairing participants of a similar height and size.
25ft x 25ft of Rock, Roll and Wobble
At approximately 25ft x 25ft, the Rock and Roller is a substantial inflatable game rather than a little party extra. That size gives the gladiator duel its own defined arena and makes it a natural focal point for larger event spaces.
It also offers a very different experience from our Bouncy Castles. Instead of general bouncing, two people enter with a clear objective: remain on the rocking platform longer than the person standing opposite.
Simple idea. Significantly less simple once the floor joins the opposition.
Everybody Gets Their Shot at the Title
The two-player format lends itself particularly well to events running for several hours. One pair can take their turn before making way for the next contenders, giving friends, relatives, classmates or colleagues the chance to watch the action as well as participate.
That makes the Rock and Roller a strong candidate for school fun days, sports club events, university activities, workplace events, fundraisers, community days and larger birthday parties with sufficient setup space.
It can be run as a straightforward succession of friendly duels or incorporated into a wider programme of Inflatable Games. Either way, there is always another pair waiting to see whether their balance is quite as good as they think it is.
Build an Event Worthy of the Undercard
One headline bout is good. An entire programme of activities is even better.
The Inflatable Axe Throwing hire can introduce a target-based game elsewhere at the event, while the Inflatable 3 in 1 Sports Game offers another way to add activity-led entertainment without simply duplicating the Rock and Roller's format.
For a bigger inflatable lineup, consider adding something from our Obstacle Courses or Slides. Our Giant Garden Games can provide activities away from the inflatable section too, helping you create different things to do around a larger site.
And because the Rock and Roller can be enjoyed by adults as well as children, events with older participants can also take a look at our Adult Bouncy Castles.
Adults Are Allowed in the Ring Too
This isn't one of those attractions where the grown-ups have to stand at the side insisting that they would definitely win if only they were allowed a turn.
The Rock and Roller Gladiator Duel is suitable for adults and children, opening it up to a much broader range of events. It can therefore move from children's fun days and birthday parties to university events, workplace activity days and other occasions where the adults fancy settling a friendly score.
Just remember the recommendation to match opponents of a similar height and size. David versus Goliath might make a good story, but it isn't the matchmaking we're looking for here.
Give the Rock and Roller Room to Rumble
Before booking, make sure your chosen event space can accommodate an inflatable measuring approximately 25ft x 25ft. Its footprint is considerably larger than many conventional inflatables, so checking the available setup area should be part of your planning.
This is particularly important if you're creating a multi-attraction event using equipment from our Inflatable Events range. Work out the space available for the Rock and Roller as well as the other inflatables and games you intend to include.
