Assault course
on your site
A course everyone walks towards by themselves. We bring it, set it up and take it away again at the end of the day.
Nobody needs to be persuaded
The hardest thing about a family day or neighbourhood party is getting people moving without it feeling compulsory. An assault course solves that by itself. It's there, it's big, and within ten minutes there's a queue without anyone having announced a programme.
That makes it one of the few elements that keep running all day. Children go over it ten times, adults make an attempt towards the end of the afternoon after all, and there is always an audience watching and timing.
What we do
You only have to point out the site and say what time it needs to be ready. We arrange the rest, including clearing up afterwards.
- Delivery, set-up and taking it down again at the end
- A course that fits the site and the ages
- Supervision during use and explanation of the rules
- Optional timing, with a league table at the end of the day
For which occasions
At a family day or neighbourhood party the course is usually the centrepiece of the day. For a school party or a club's open day the same applies: it is something visitors come for, even if they had no other programme planned.
At companies we see it mostly with a family day for staff, where colleagues come with their children. For a purely business team day a course on its own is often too thin, and it works better as part of a team games day with timing and a league table.
If you want something for adults that is physically tougher, we set out the course as a timed obstacle course, with elements that call for cooperation rather than speed.
The site and the weather
An assault course belongs outdoors and needs a flat, firm piece of ground. Grass is fine, a paved square too, provided we can anchor the course properly. A steeply sloping site or a surface full of holes doesn't work.
Rain is usually not a problem, strong wind is. Above a certain wind force an inflatable course may not stay in use, and that is not a guideline we get creative with. We therefore agree in advance what the alternative is if it really can't go ahead that day.
A compact set-up for part of a day starts at €195.
Frequently asked questions
How much space do you need?
The space needed depends on the course. For an inflatable assault course count on a flat area of about twenty by ten metres, with some free space around it. A built obstacle course can be laid out over a larger site and adapts better to the shape of the field.
From what age can children use it?
On most courses children can join from about four years old, provided there is supervision and the groups are separated by age. Having small children and big teenagers on one course at the same time doesn't work, so we make time slots for that.
Do you need electricity?
For an inflatable course, yes, as it stays on a blower all day. An ordinary socket usually suffices, but tell us in advance how far that is from the site. If there is no power, we bring a generator.
