Interactive Inflatable Basketball Hoop Game (IPS) 🏀
Take classic basketball hoops to the next generation of interactive gaming with our Interactive Inflatable Basketball Hoop Game, powered by the advanced Interactive Play System (IPS).
Measuring an impressive 15ft (L) x 18ft (W) x 15ft (H), this high-energy inflatable arena lets players slam dunk it like Jordan – with a modern digital twist. Featuring cutting-edge IPS software, digital targets, sound effects, and a live scoreboard, this game delivers an adrenaline-fuelled experience that appeals to kids, teens, and adults alike.
The IPS Basketball Game is the modern evolution of the traditional fairground basketball hoops and Batak-style reaction games. Embedded into an inflatable slide arena, it creates a fast-paced, competitive environment that bursts with excitement and keeps players fully immersed.
Interactive Game Modes (IPS Software)
The built-in IPS system includes three pre-set interactive games, ensuring endless replay value:
-
Light Hunter
-
Steal the Light
-
Back to Base
Each mode is packed with interactive creativity, testing skill, speed, stamina, timing, and accuracy, ensuring players never get bored. Additional IPS games can also be accessed independently as you cycle through the system options.
Aim of the Game
The objective is simple – but intense.
Two players go head-to-head inside the inflatable arena. Each player is assigned a colour (RED or GREEN). The basketball hoops on the back panel feature digital IPS targets that flash randomly in either red or green.
Players must:
-
Shoot basketballs through the hoops
-
Hit the illuminated targets matching their assigned colour
-
React quickly as lights only stay active for seconds
Scores are automatically tracked on the digital scoreboard over a 60-second game period. When time runs out, the player who knocks out the most lights WINS.
Fast reactions, sharp shooting, and nerves of steel are essential!
