What Giant Bowling is
Giant Bowling is a visually striking game in which the pins are knocked down with a giant inflatable ball rolled from a long distance.
A classic blown up to full size, eye-catching and easy for the crowd to join in with.
Competition and tournament ideas with giant bowling for events
Giant bowling really comes into its own when you turn it into a competition. All it takes is a scoreboard and a bit of pace for every throw to feel like a final. Here are some of the formats we suggest, depending on the audience and the time available.
- Team tournament: each team takes turns to throw and adds up the pins knocked down. At the end, the two best teams play a deciding round.
- Strike leaderboard: a board with the names of everyone who knocks all the pins down in one go. It keeps people hooked all day.
- Department challenge: sales against marketing, reception against the kitchen. Friendly rivalry that gets people talking for weeks.
- Family round: at weddings and family days, parents and children throw together and their scores are combined.
The host sets up the pins, hands over the ball and keeps score, so the organiser does not have to worry about a thing. Turns are quick, so lots of people get a go in a short time and nobody misses out. The format works just as well at a corporate team building day as at a town festival with guests of all ages.
Why hire Giant Bowling?
- No explanation needed: anyone knows what to do with a giant inflatable ball.
- Fast turns: a lot of people play in a short time.

- Certified equipment to the M-2 standard.

Giant bowling for shopping centres, trade fairs and brand activations
In a busy space, the hard part is getting people to stop. Giant bowling for shopping centres does it effortlessly: the strike can be seen from a distance and the crash of the ball hitting the pins turns heads all along the aisle.
- Visual pull: a clear bowling lane and a huge inflatable ball draw families and passers-by straight in.
- Instant participation: nobody needs instructions, so people are happy to have a go within seconds.
- Trade fair pace: turns are short and lots of people can play every hour, which is exactly what an exhibitor wants.
- Time for your team: while one person throws and the rest watch, your sales staff can chat with those waiting their turn.
At a brand activation, the pins turn a promotion into a challenge people want to try again. We bring them to shopping centres, trade fairs and promotional stands in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain. All you need is a flat bowling lane that is long enough, indoors or outdoors, and we take care of the rest, with a host running the game throughout the activation.
How to combine giant bowling with other games at a family day
Giant bowling shines on its own, but it works even better as part of a well-planned games area. At a corporate family day or a summer party, combining it with other attractions spreads the crowd out and avoids long queues in one spot.
- Giant table games: Jenga, Connect 4 or Giant Ludo complete a circuit of supersized classics that everyone understands.
- Inflatables for the little ones: while the grown-ups compete on the bowling lane, the children have their own space.
- Station challenges: the bowling can be one stop on a treasure hunt, with points added to the overall scoreboard for the day.
They work outdoors in spring and summer, and indoors too when the event falls in autumn or at Christmas, as long as there is a clear, flat lane. As the equipment is certified M-2 and suitable for all ages, it fits celebrations with a mixed crowd. We suggest the right combination based on the space, the number of guests and the length of the day, and we set everything up so the event runs smoothly without you having to worry about logistics.

Frequently asked questions
How do Giant Bowling Pins work at events?
Giant Bowling consists of knocking down pins with a giant inflatable ball thrown from a long distance. The attendant sets up the pins, the player receives the ball and throws from the marked line; then the pins are reset and the next player steps up.
What space do Giant Bowling Pins need?
Giant Bowling Pins need a clear, level throwing lane long enough to throw from the marked distance. They can be set up indoors or outdoors, for example in squares, promenades, gardens or shopping centres, and we take care of transport and set-up.
Are Giant Bowling Pins safe and certified?
Yes, Giant Bowling Pins have a fire-retardant treatment and M-2 certification, the same one required for setting up inflatables in children's parks. They are suitable for all ages and need no explanation, so anyone can play.
Is an attendant needed for Giant Bowling Pins?
We recommend an attendant for Giant Bowling Pins: they set up the pins, hand the ball to the next player and manage turns. That way organisers do not have to reset or supervise anything, and many people can play in a short time.
What events are Giant Bowling Pins suitable for?
Giant Bowling Pins suit weddings, team-building in teams, local fiestas, family days, shopping centres, birthdays and brand activations. The knock-down can be seen from far away, which encourages people to join in and makes a show for the audience.
