Penguin Escape Inflatable Game Rental in NJ: How Fast Can You Smack the Penguins and Rack Up Points?
Games can be fun. Penguin Escape is fun that is fast paced, high energy, and hilarious fun – that kind of game where people play with a cool demeanor at first but end their turn breathlessly determined to beat the other players because the penguins are surprisingly fast.
The objective is crystal clear. The penguins rise out of the inflated platform and players try to hit them back down as fast as they can in order to get points. It is a wonderful take on the classic whack-a-mole game in an inflatable platform perfect for your event – measuring at 10x10x6 – and as fun as the classic game, with the added advantage of playing it at your very own NJ birthday party, school carnival, or corporate function.
Penguin Escape falls under Parties for Peanuts’ Interactive Inflatables section, and rightly so as it provides just what it claims – an inflatable that engages and not simply entertains.

Why the Whack-a-Mole Format Never Gets Old
Whack-a-mole game mechanics have been around in their various forms since the 1970s when they were introduced to Japan and from there to the rest of the world. After more than half a century, whack-a-mole game mechanics still remain among the most engaging mechanics due to their ability to satisfy basic instincts of human beings: reacting fast, spotting patterns and receiving positive reinforcement from successful reactions.
People who have never even seen a whack-a-mole game get how to play just by watching other people playing. People who have already played want to beat their own record. People who just saw the game want to try their luck. These qualities are the reasons why the game remains popular after decades and despite the medium of presentation: arcade game cabinets, carnival games, interactive inflatable constructions and others.
The Penguin Escape is a whack-a-mole game designed specifically for the NJ parties and events market: interactive inflatable, arctic theme and small size to fit real-life party venues.
