⚔️ Gladiator Jousting Duel for Hire
20ft x 30ft Inflatable | 2 Players | Helmets & Pugel Sticks Included
Step into the arena and battle for glory with our Gladiator Jousting Duel – one of the most exciting and best-loved competitive inflatable games for hire in Ireland. Inspired by the legendary TV show, this high-energy attraction challenges players to test their balance, timing, agility and nerve as they attempt to knock their opponent from their podium using the oversized padded pugel sticks.
Standing on raised inflatable plinths above a fully cushioned bed, competitors must duck, dive and strike their way to victory – but one wrong move and it’s game over!
A true crowd-puller, this game is just as entertaining for spectators as it is for participants and guarantees a constant queue at any event.
