Fitting onto the interior bed space of a pickup truck, the Tailgate Pong features etched sections for cups and a bouncing pad. The Tailgate Pong accessory is a permanent game board that can be installed onto the folding door of a pickup truck in about ten minutes flat. When installed, the Tailgate Pong will enable [tailgate parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtlebox-gameday-series) to be that much more oriented towards having a good time. Those looking to pick up a Tailgate Pong table to enable a game of beer pong wherever the road takes them can pick one up for about $100. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vehicle-based Drinking Games:** There is a trend of developing accessories that enable drinking games to be played on vehicles, such as the Tailgate Pong accessory. - **Mobile Party Stations:** The Tailgate Pong accessory and similar products bring disruptive innovation opportunities to create mobile party stations for tailgating events, camping trips, and more. - **Tailgate Party Accessories:** Tailgate party accessories are emerging as a popular trend, with products such as the Tailgate Pong table being developed specifically for this market. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to develop more tailgate party accessories that cater to the needs of truck owners. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The trend of vehicle-based drinking games offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the outdoor recreation industry, particularly for camping and tailgating events. - **Home Entertaining:** The Tailgate Pong accessory and similar products have the potential to disrupt the home entertaining industry by offering a new way to play drinking games and entertain guests outdoors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vertical Drinking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-pong.md) - [Boozy Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-darts.md) - [Hybrid Party Game Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiburon-tables.md) - [Off-Road Gear Washing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinsekit-tailgate-shower.md) - [Hybrid Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-game.md) - [Inflatable Truck Camping Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flated-air-topper.md) - [Low-Profile Pickup Truck Campers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailster-camper.md) - [Gear-Organizing Truck Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartcap-modular-truck-topper-system.md) - [Speedy Truck Bed Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-tonneau-tents.md)
