The original game features a [trampoline-shaped net](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiburon-tables) that is placed between teams of two on the ground, allowing users to hit the ball back and forth and score points. The new water version can be used in [lakes, oceans or pools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-hangout-shade) in a similar fashion, allowing ball-to-net contact. Often described as a game that mixes four-square with volleyball, the game is [fast, entertaining and addicting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-splash). The net floats on water with a carrying bag to hold the straps and floats while doubling as an anchor to hold the game in place. As a unique twist on the summer-ready sport, the new Spikebuoy game set is available online now for fun all day long. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aquatic Ball Games:** Opportunity to create innovative water-based versions of popular land-based sports. - **Water Sport Equipment:** Potential for designing specialized equipment for water-based sports and games. - **Outdoor Water Games:** Growing demand for entertaining and interactive water games for outdoor activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment Manufacturing:** Potential for manufacturing aquatic versions of existing sports equipment. - **Recreation and Leisure:** Opportunity for businesses to offer water-based game sets and accessories for recreational activities. - **Water Parks and Resorts:** Potential to incorporate aquatic ball games as engaging attractions in water park and resort settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-game.md) - [Desktop Miniature Sports Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-beach-volleyball.md) - [Game-Changing Tennis Equipments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-tub.md) - [Pickleball-Friendly Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speaqua-barnacle-pro-20.md) - [Outdoor Waterslide Drinking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-do-you-meme-slip-sip-flip.md) - [Boozy Backyard Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-darts.md) - [Revolutionary Flying Disc](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spin-pro-award-winner.md) - [Waterproof Dog Tug Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tug-e-nuff.md) - [Floating Sustainable Padel Courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-padel-court.md)
