What Is Roller Bowler?

The Roller Bowler is a carnival skill game where players roll a ball up a sloped track, attempting to send it over a hill and stop it within a designated winning zone. The game tests timing, force judgement, and ball control, requiring players to calculate the exact power needed for success.

Players watch their ball travel up the slope, hoping it settles in the winning area rather than rolling back down. Colleagues gather around to watch attempts, offer advice, and queue for their turn whilst spectators create an energetic atmosphere through encouragement and friendly competition.

The Roller Bowler works well at trade shows because it draws crowds, creates visible queues, and keeps exhibition stands consistently busy. Corporate events benefit from the competitive element that gets colleagues interacting naturally, whilst the simple rules mean anyone can play immediately without lengthy explanations.

Roller Bowler Description

The Roller Bowler features a brightly coloured sloped track with eye-catching carnival graphics in red, yellow, and blue. The wooden construction includes a distinctive hill section that creates the game's signature challenge, with clearly marked winning zones painted on the track surface.

Players position themselves at the lower end of the track and must judge the exact force needed to send the ball over the hill and into the scoring area. Roll too hard and the ball bounces back; roll too softly and it never crests the hill, creating the perfect balance of skill and frustration.

Queues form naturally at busy events as colleagues challenge each other and attempt to beat previous scores. The visible gameplay makes it valuable for exhibitions where creating footfall matters, with spectators stopping to watch before joining the queue themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space does Roller Bowler require?

The standard Roller Bowler needs approximately 2 metres in length and 0.8 metres in width, plus additional space for players to stand and spectators to gather. We recommend allowing 2.5 x 1.5 metres total for comfortable gameplay. Floor-standing versions require more space than tabletop models.

Is Roller Bowler suitable for all ages?

Yes, the Roller Bowler works for children aged 5 and above through to adults. The simple rolling action requires no special strength or coordination, making it accessible for most attendees. The challenge level remains engaging regardless of age or ability.

Can Roller Bowler be used outdoors?

The Roller Bowler can be used outdoors in dry weather conditions only. The wooden construction and mechanical components must be protected from rain and moisture. We recommend indoor use for guaranteed operation regardless of the weather.

How long does setup take?

Setup typically takes 10-15 minutes for our trained technicians. This includes positioning the game, attaching any floor stands or header panels, and ensuring the track surface is level. Our team handles all setup and testing before your event begins.

Can I hire multiple units for larger events?

Yes, we can provide multiple Roller Bowler units for large events, conferences, or exhibitions. Multiple units work particularly well for competitions, tournaments, or when you need to accommodate high footfall. Contact us to discuss quantity discounts for multiple units.

What power source is required?

The Roller Bowler requires no power source whatsoever. It's a completely mechanical game, making it ideal for outdoor events, venues with limited electrical access, or situations where you want to minimise running costs and setup complexity.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance for most events. Peak seasons (December for Christmas parties, September for exhibitions, and June-August for summer events) often require booking 8-12 weeks ahead to guarantee availability.

Can the Roller Bowler be branded with our company logo?

Yes, comprehensive branding options are available, including header panels, side panels, and playfield graphics. Our in-house design team can create custom artwork incorporating your logo, colours, and messaging. Branding typically requires 2-3 weeks' notice.
