FAQ
How does Pitchburst work?
Players pitch a ball at the AccuBurst target mounted on the game board. When they hit the target, a water balloon positioned in the Splurshbasket overhead bursts, soaking the person seated or standing beneath it. It's the same thrilling concept as a traditional dunk tank, but far more portable and space-efficient.
How long does it take to set up and take down?
The Pitchburst is designed for fast, practical setup and breakdown. The main panels and base structure pack down flat, and the basket, target, and diagonal arm disconnect and store separately in the included carry bags. Most operators can set up or break down the unit in under 30 minutes.
Can the Pitchburst be used indoors?
Yes! Because the Pitchburst only requires a minimum playing area of 10' x 10', it can be used in gyms, recreation centers, large halls, and other indoor venues - as long as there's adequate ceiling clearance for the 80" assembled height and the space can handle water splashing.
How many balloons come included, and where can I get more?
The Pitchburst ships with 144 water balloons to get you started right away. Standard water balloons are widely available at party supply stores, big-box retailers, and online, so restocking is easy and inexpensive.
Is the Pitchburst a good investment for a rental business?
Absolutely. With a typical rental rate of $150-$350+ per day, the Pitchburst can pay for itself in as little as one busy rental season. Its compact pack-down size means it fits in a standard cargo van or SUV, keeping transport costs low. Many rental operators report strong demand for it at summer camps, school events, corporate parties, and community festivals.
What kind of maintenance does the Pitchburst require?
Maintenance is minimal. Occasional surface cleaning is all that's typically needed to keep the Pitchburst looking great and functioning reliably. The durable construction is designed to withstand regular commercial use without requiring specialized upkeep or replacement parts under normal conditions.
