What Is a Hungry Hippo Inflatable?

The Hungry Hippo inflatable is a big, action-packed game for four players, based on the classic Hungry Hungry Hippos board game. 

Each player wears a harness that’s connected to a bungee cord. When the game starts, everyone races toward the center to grab balls and bring them back to their corner. The twist is that the bungee cord pulls you back each time you lunge forward.

This game isn’t just about being strong. You also need to be quick, smart, and ready to laugh. Most of these inflatables are 30 to 40 feet wide and can be set up inside or outside, so they work great any time of the year.

How Does It Work?

Each player stands in their own corner of the inflatable arena. When the referee says “go,” everyone races to the middle to grab as many colorful balls as they can and bring them back to their basket. The player with the most balls at the end wins.

Here’s why it’s so much fun:

• The bungee cord pulls you back, which makes it feel like a tug-of-war.
• Each round only lasts about 1 to 2 minutes, so the game stays exciting.
• Lots of people can take turns quickly since the games are short.
• It’s easy for kids to understand but still challenging enough to keep older players interested.

It’s simple enough for kids but competitive enough for adults. That’s why it’s a hit at team-building events and school carnivals.
