A carnival game is a game of chance or skill that can be seen at a traveling carnival. A game like the 'Duck Pond'. This Plastic Fish Bowl or ivy bowl is a great carnival accessory for playing the goldfish game or ping pong toss. Topic: Carnival Goldfish (Read 1116 times) Judi Guest. My son won a goldfish from the carnival too and I thought for sure it wasn't going to live long. Carnival games like basketball are beatable by cheating! We all know carnival games are rigged. That’s why you need a little skill and a whole lot of disregard for the posted rules to have a chance at winning at the following fixed booths. The softball is made of lighter material than usual, meaning it has almost no effect on the bottles. Solution: Carefully step back, aim, and then throw everything you can find at the bottles in rapid succession. Balls, keys, rocks, nearby toddlers, your pants. Just keep tossing and keep screaming until the carny cries out “Take whatever you want!” as he hides behind the counter from the shower of personal possessions and full amusement park trash cans. Basketball Shoot(source)Game: Shoot the ball through the hoop. Scam: The rim is narrower than regulation and oval—not round—shaped, greatly increasing the level of difficulty. The basketballs are over- inflated so they bounce off the backboard or hoop much quicker and farther. The hoop is placed far too high for a typical shot. Solution: Remember one rule—Nothing but slam dunks. Just make sure to bring your own miniature trampoline or simply have a parent repeatedly hurl you at the backboard. Should you grab hold of the rim, tell your dad to keep tossing you basketballs for you to shove through the hoop until security is alerted or the Harlem Globetrotters draft you. Balloon Dart Throw(source)Game: Pop a number of balloons on a board by throwing darts from a distance. Scam: The balloons are under- inflated, causing the darts to simply bounce off rather than cause a pop. The dart tips are often flat or simply broken. Solution: Part of the reason the dart tips are dull is so that no one gets hurt. The other reason is so that they can’t possibly break the skin of the balloon. That’s why when approaching this booth you should first pay for your chance and then whip out a big- a** water bazooka from the backpack you’ve been secretly lugging around in 9. After that it’s simply a matter of shooting at the balloons, yelling “Fight fire with fire!” despite naming the wrong element, until the carny just gives you a prize before you inadvertently soak all of his knock- off Hulk dolls that look a lot like repurposed Shrek toys. Ring Toss(source)Game: Toss a ring over the neck of one of many soda bottles grouped tightly together. Scam: The ring is barely larger than the neck of the bottle and made of a light plastic to cause immediate bouncing. The bottles are grouped too close together to allow for a real clean shot. Solution: Ask the carny to prove the game is winnable. He’ll cheat by using a larger ring than the one he’ll give you. Then ask him to do it again with an Aerobie. Then the back tire of the flatbed truck that also serves as his office, home, and unlicensed daycare center for all the carnival operators’ kids. Continue demanding he throw bigger and bigger “rings” until it’s nightfall and you’ve gotten both your entertainment value and the chance to see what happens when giant concrete tubing meets 5. RC Cola glass bottles. Milk Can(source)Game: Toss a softball into a 1. Scam: The top opening of the milk can has been decreased, making it barely one- sixteenth of an inch larger than the tossed softball. Solution: The real solution is to give the ball some backspin and try to hit the back of the can’s rim. The fun solution is to step back about 5. Sure, this may be hell on your back, but if you can’t claim a prize you might as well seize the day. Dunk Pond(source)Game: Pick a rubber duck from a small wading pool. The number on the bottom of the duck indicates what prize you won. Scam: Almost all of the ducks are numbered to give the lowest prize possible. But because you win every time you keep trying, never knowing that the odds are 1- in- 1. Solution: Since there is no skill in this game outside of what you would use to play a really cheap Powerball lottery (“This week’s prize is now THREE oversized novelty sunglasses!”), you can’t really outwit the game or the carny. So that’s why you should just pay for your chance and then toss a net over the entire wading pool, trying to ensnare as many rubber duckies as possible. Though if that is your idea of fun we suggest you do it with a charging rhino instead.) Then simply claim every numbered prize under all the ducks you caught until you either win the grand prize of an unlicensed Mylar Sponge. Robert balloon or walk away with 9.
