What is Tin Alley: the classic fairground tin can alley game
Who has the best aim at your event?
Tin Alley (Derriba las Latas in Spanish) is the classic tin can alley game from the traditional fair: knock down the whole pyramid.
- Easy to understand: throw a beanbag or a ball and topple the cans. No explanation needed.
- Competitive: one player per turn and everyone else cheering.
- Eye-catching: a long red and white striped table with the pyramid at the back.
- Quick: the pyramid is rebuilt between players, so the queue moves fast.
It is a quick, competitive activity, perfect for fairs, local festivals and promotional campaigns.
We bring it to Barcelona and all over Spain, with set-up and collection included.
How to play Tin Alley
Imagen
- The player stands at the table, facing the pyramid of cans.
- They throw the beanbags or balls, one by one.
- Each throw tries to knock cans off the pyramid.
- When the turn ends, the pyramid is rebuilt and the next player steps up.
How to win: whoever knocks down all the cans in the pyramid wins. Games last between 1 and 3 minutes.
Tip for organisers: keep the results in a ranking and give a prize to the best player of the day. People will come back to beat their colleagues.

Tin Alley for corporate events, weddings and parties
Imagen
Everyone loves a tin can alley: it is understood at once and hooks children and adults alike. That is why it suits so many kinds of event.
For companies, it is ideal as one of our party games for corporate events in Barcelona and across Spain, with teams competing for the best ranking. For families, it works very well at a family day or an end-of-term school party.
It is also a great choice for fairground game hire for weddings: guests test their aim while they wait for the banquet. And if you are planning a street party, a local festival or a mini fair for communions, the red and white stripes bring the fairground atmosphere.
Because it is manual and needs no staff, you simply place it in a corner of the event and it runs by itself. If you want more entertainment, we can add a host.
Tin Alley customised with your brand
We adapt the game's graphics (header and board) to your brand. You send us your artwork or we design it in a couple of days. We need about 2 weeks' notice to customise it.
The prizes can carry your mark too: soft toys or your company's merchandising, with an instant prize or points to redeem at the end.
Activation idea: put Tin Alley on your stand at a trade fair or congress with your logo on the header. Whoever topples the pyramid wins a gift from your brand, while everyone else queues up looking at your colours.
Build your mini fair: combine Tin Alley with other games
Tin Alley can be hired on its own or as a set with other games. For a mini fair with about 100 guests, we recommend 4 to 6 games. That way there is always something to do and the queues spread out.
Combine it with Ring Toss, Hook a Duck and Ball Roll: that way you mix aim, fishing and skill.
Explore the whole collection in Mini Fairground Games: they come individually and without staff. If you prefer a complete stand with staff, decoration and prizes, take a look at our Fairground Stalls.

It measures about 190 x 70 cm and we recommend a space of 2 x 2 m. It needs no electricity because it is 100% manual. It works indoors or outdoors, although it is best placed under cover if it rains.
