A tabletop ramp game and one of our regular carnival games for corporate fun days, school events and exhibition stands. Three yellow balls sit at the player's end of a six-foot sloped surface; roll each one up the ramp and aim to land it in one of the five scoring holes at the top - two lower holes worth 25 points, two outer holes worth 50 points, and one centre-top hole worth 100 points. Give each player three rolls and compare totals; highest score wins.
The challenge is pace control. Roll with too little force and the ball stalls before reaching any hole; too much and it bounces back or skips past. The right amount is less than you'd expect, and it takes most people a few attempts to find it - which is what keeps guests coming back without needing a prize at the end. Watching someone's ball creep towards the 100-point hole and then slide back is enough to stop people passing by.
No power is required and the game is self-explanatory without a dedicated operator. The unit sits on a trestle table with a 6ft × 2.5ft footprint, and it has been a regular part of our packages at Barnsley Metrodome alongside Flap Attack and Strike Zone.
The scoring structure lends itself to a competition or prize draw with very little setup. Set a target - a cumulative score above a threshold, or landing a ball in the 100-point hole - and you have a working prize mechanic that runs without someone standing beside it to explain the rules. It also works as a straight head-to-head: two players rolling alternately, three balls each, highest total wins.
We own this unit in-house from our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham, five minutes from the A1, M1 and M18, and we've been supplying carnival game hire since 1999.

Where we deliver
King of the Hill goes out on its own a fair bit, so the short runs matter - South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester, all from Rotherham and five minutes off the A1, M1 and M18. Longer trips to London, Birmingham and Wales tend to be part of a bigger package, and the North East is a regular one either way.
