Two podiums, two padded pugil sticks and one very simple objective: stay standing longer than the person opposite you. Our 20ft x 20ft Gladiator Duel is an inflatable head-to-head game for events where guests want to do more than watch from the sidelines.
Players compete one pair at a time, making it well suited to birthdays, family events, school occasions, corporate days and larger events where you can run individual bouts throughout the booking.
How Does the Gladiator Duel Work?
Two players enter the inflatable and take their places on separate raised podiums. Each competitor is given a padded pugil stick and attempts to unbalance the other player.
If one competitor comes off their podium while the other remains standing, the bout has its winner. Then the next pair can take their places and start again.
The rules are deliberately straightforward, so the game can be organised as individual matches, a knockout competition or a series of informal challenges between friends, relatives or colleagues.
Protective Equipment Is Part of the Game
The Gladiator Duel is supplied with protective headgear and neck braces. This protective equipment must be worn while participating in the game.
Because players are deliberately attempting to knock one another from the podiums using padded equipment, the Gladiator Duel should be treated differently from a conventional Bouncy Castle. Participants need to follow the operating instructions and use the supplied protective equipment correctly.

Run Individual Bouts or Build a Tournament
You do not need to organise the Gladiator Duel competitively. Guests can simply choose an opponent, play a bout and move on.
For a more organised event, however, it lends itself naturally to a tournament. Record the winner of each match, move successful competitors into the next round and continue until the final two players meet on the podiums.
At a corporate or school event, groups can also be divided into teams with points awarded for each bout rather than eliminating players completely.
A Different Attraction for Larger Events
The Gladiator Duel can provide a useful change of pace when your event already includes bouncing or other inflatable activities. Rather than booking several attractions that all work in much the same way, this introduces a direct two-player game.
It can sit alongside Garden Games at a family event, form part of a larger School Event Hire setup or add a competitive activity to Corporate Event Hire.
Allow Proper Space Around a 20ft x 20ft Inflatable
The Gladiator Duel itself measures 20ft x 20ft. The actual setup area needs to allow additional operating and installation space around the inflatable, so do not choose a location based solely on the unit dimensions.
This Gladiator Duel is intended for outdoor use. If you are unsure whether the area you have available is suitable, contact us with the details before booking rather than assuming it will fit.
Not Available for Overnight Hire
This particular inflatable is not offered for overnight hire. If you are arranging an event with unusual operating times, contact us before booking so we can discuss the hire period required.
Make It One Part of a Bigger Activity Day
The Gladiator Duel works particularly well when guests have several different activities to rotate between. A family bouncy castle can provide conventional inflatable play elsewhere, while the Gladiator Duel becomes the place for short one-on-one matches.
For an event built around games rather than a single attraction, you can also add the Giant Beat the Buzzer or our Football Shootout equipment to create completely different challenges around the venue.
