Can You Splat the Rat Before It Escapes?

Watch the pipe, keep the bat ready and don't get distracted. At some point the rat is going to drop, and you've only got a fraction of a second to react before it reaches the bottom. Splat the Rat turns an incredibly simple idea into a surprisingly difficult test of reactions, making it an ideal traditional game for fetes, fundraisers and busy family events.

The person running the stall controls when the rat is released, so there's no need to give the player any warning. A well-timed surprise drop makes the challenge considerably harder and usually results in plenty of near misses, laughter and demands for another attempt.

A Fundraising Game That Works Brilliantly at School Fetes

Splat the Rat lends itself particularly well to fundraising. Charge for a set number of attempts, establish a winning score or offer a prize to anyone quick enough to successfully catch the rat with the bat. The format can be adapted around the way your school, charity or community organisation wants to run its event.

Unlike an attraction where somebody participates for several minutes, each Splat the Rat attempt is extremely quick. That makes it useful for busy Fetes and Fun Days and Charity Days, where a steady stream of visitors can take part without creating a large queue.

Traditional Side-Stall Entertainment Without a Large Footprint

Not every part of an event needs to be dominated by a large inflatable. Smaller attractions give visitors something different to try and can make much better use of the available space.

Splat the Rat can form part of a traditional games area with choices from Garden Games, or provide a contrast to the larger attractions available through Inflatable Hire. This makes it particularly useful when building an entertainment programme with several different types of activity rather than relying on one or two headline pieces.

Splat the Rat for Corporate Events and Family Fun Days

There is nothing specifically childish about trying to beat someone else's reaction time. Splat the Rat can be just as entertaining when colleagues are competing against one another at a company event as it is when children are taking turns at a school fete.

That gives it a place within Corporate Events and Corporate Fun Days, particularly when you want short challenges scattered around a venue. It also slots neatly into Family Fun Day Hire, where having activities with different levels of intensity gives more visitors a reason to participate.

Use Splat the Rat as Part of a Side-Stall Package

One Splat the Rat game can provide plenty of entertainment, but traditional games really come into their own when several are positioned together. Guests can move from one challenge to another, comparing scores and trying different skills as they go.

This format can work especially well at schools, community fairs and larger public events. It also provides an alternative to more energetic Inflatable Games, so visitors can alternate between physical activities and quick tests of accuracy or reactions.
