Beer-Pong Inspired Party Games

The 'PlingPong' Ping Pong Game is Suitable for Players of All Ages

— January 10, 2017 — Life-Stages
Beer pong is great for college kids, but 'PlingPong' is a ping pong game that puts a more family friendly spin on the wildly popular game. 'PlingPong' consists of a series of cups that are placed on the playing board and has players bounce ping pong balls in order to try and sink them in an opponents cup. When this occurs, the cup is removed until there is only one player left with cups on the board who is then crowned the winner.

The 'PlingPong' ping pong game can be augmented and changed in order to make it more challenging for players who want to try something a little harder. It can be played easily in family settings and at parties by players of any age or skill level.
Trend Themes
1. Family-friendly Party Games - The success of PlingPong indicates the demand for more family-friendly party games, presenting an opportunity for companies to innovate in this space.
2. Adaptable Recreational Activities - The ability to adjust the difficulty level of PlingPong highlights a trend towards adaptable recreational activities, providing a chance for companies to create more customizable games.
3. Revamping Classic Games - The reinvention of beer pong into PlingPong suggests a trend of updating classic games to make them more inclusive, providing a chance for companies to innovate in this direction.
Industry Implications
1. Recreation & Entertainment - With the rise of family-friendly party games, recreation and entertainment companies should consider developing more games that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels.
2. Event Planning - PlingPong's versatility in different settings presents an opportunity for event planners to incorporate the game into various events and occasions.
3. Product Design - The success of PlingPong suggests a demand for innovative and customizable party games, providing an opportunity for product design companies to create new, unique games that people will love to play.
