Mega KerPlunk Game

Add-on hire from £75.

A childhood classic, scaled right up

The Mega KerPlunk - also written Ker Plunk or Ker-Plunk - is a full-size version of the old table-top game. Up to four players at a time take turns pulling wooden sticks from a red mesh tower, trying not to let the balls drop through. Any balls released on your turn count against you, and the player with the fewest balls when the game ends wins.

It is a simple game to explain and it needs no power, which makes it useful as a side game on an exhibition stand, at a freshers fair or within a larger fun-day package. The red metal cage, coloured balls and sticks give it a clear physical presence among smaller stand activities.

We've been hiring out event games since 1999 and stock this Mega KerPlunk in our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham. It comes to you on our own vehicles with delivery and setup by our own team.

How it plays

Wooden sticks are pushed through the mesh to form a criss-cross lattice, and the balls sit on top. Players take turns removing one stick. When balls fall on a player's turn, that player keeps them; once all the balls have dropped, the player who collected the fewest wins.

The rules are familiar enough for informal play, though one person from your team should keep an eye on turns and dropped balls if you want to run a scored competition. There is no electronic score or power connection to arrange.

If you're putting a few classic games together on one stand, the Mega KerPlunk sits well next to Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4 and the Giant Operation Game - all part of our carnival games range.
