3 carnival games in one unit • Ages 4 & up • Fall festivals, trunk-or-treats & school carnivals
The unit that turns an event into a festival. 🎪
A bounce house is an activity. Games are a festival. That's the difference this makes — three carnival games built into one haunted purple manor, so people are keeping score and winning things instead of just taking turns.
It's also the easiest thing at your event to staff. No rules to explain, no scorekeeping, nothing to supervise. Hand it to a parent volunteer and walk away. When you're building an event out of people who signed up for two-hour shifts, that matters more than almost anything else.

🎯 The three games
Three separate lanes under one haunted manor front, so three kids play side by side without waiting on each other.
🎃 Pumpkin Smash
Toss balls into grinning jack-o'-lantern targets. The most forgiving of the three — a four-year-old can score on it, which matters when the whole point is that everybody wins something.
👻 Ghost Ball
Sink shots through the holes in a spooky ghost. Tighter targets, so it's the one the older kids gravitate to and the one dads decide they're good at.
🪄 Ring Toss
Land rings on witch hats and pumpkins. The classic everyone already knows how to play, which means zero explaining for whoever's running the booth.
All the balls and rings come with it. Nothing extra to buy, nothing to remember, no last-minute run to the store. Unlike concession machines, this rental is complete on arrival.
This is the fundraiser unit
One ticket per play, small prize for a winner. That's the format PTOs, church festivals and school carnivals already run — and three lanes means three ticket-takers' worth of throughput from one $250 rental. Pair it with the Pumpkin Smash Whack-A-Mole and you've got a five-station prize booth in under 30 feet of space.
🏆 Why it earns its spot
A volunteer can run it
No rules to teach, no scoring, no safety briefing. You hand someone a bucket of balls and they're fully trained. At an event staffed by parents on two-hour shifts, that's the whole game.
It fits where nothing else will
Sixteen by fifteen feet — the smallest footprint we rent. It tucks into the corner of a lot, beside a concession table, or right next to the line for your main attraction.
It kills the line at your big unit
Set it beside the bounce house or obstacle course and the kids waiting have something to do. A line that's playing a game doesn't feel like a line.
Scare level
Friendly — a carnival, not a haunted house
A purple manor front with lanterns, cobwebs and cartoon ghouls — and the games themselves are pumpkins, ghosts and witch hats. No fog, no strobes, no sounds, nothing that jumps out. Rated for ages 4 and up, and there's nothing here that would bother a preschooler.
⏱ How long do you want it?
Base covers up to 6 hours. On a small unit like this the upgrades are cheap, and they solve a scheduling problem rather than a fun one.
Standard rental. Plenty for most festivals and trunk-or-treats.
Margin on both ends, so our delivery window can't collide with your volunteers setting up tables.
We set up the day before and collect the next morning. Your booth is standing and ready when volunteers arrive, and nobody's waiting on us at the end of the night. Fifty dollars, and it's usually the difference between a calm morning and a frantic one.
Friday before 2pm through Sunday after 2pm, or Saturday before 12pm through Monday after 12pm. Churches running a Friday trunk-or-treat and a Sunday event get both on one setup.
Lock the date with 25% down — balance due before delivery. We own one Monster Manor Midway, and it's in two of our packages, so October Saturdays go early.
📏 Setup & what to expect
⚠️ Leave throwing room in front. The unit itself is 16' wide by 15' deep, but players stand outside and throw at it — so you need roughly 10 more feet of open space in front for people to line up and play. Plan on about 16' × 25' total. It's the one thing about this unit that isn't obvious from the dimensions, and it's worth thinking about before you pick a spot next to a fence or a wall.
✅ What we need from you
- A flat 16' × 15' pad, plus throwing room in front
- 18 feet of overhead clearance
- One outlet within 100 feet of the spot
- A path wide enough for a hand truck
- Area free of debris, sticks and animal waste
📦 What we handle
- Professional installation and full takedown
- Blower, 100' extension cord and anchoring
- All game balls and rings
- Free certificate of insurance on request
☔ Zero-Risk Weather Policy. Reschedule or cancel for a full refund as long as you tell us by the night before. Once we install and your event starts there are no refunds — so we'll help you make the call before install day. 🕒 Delivery: we contact you 24–48 hours ahead. Free Anytime window, or 2–4 hours for +$35, 60 minutes for +$75.
🎪 What goes with it
This is a supporting act, and a very good one. It works best next to something that holds a bigger group.
Build a prize booth
Pumpkin Smash Whack-A-Mole
A separate two-player game with a 12-foot footprint. Put it beside the Midway and you've got five game stations in a very small space — a real fundraiser row.

The main attraction
Jumpin' Jack-O'-Lantern
Games are the supporting act — you still want one big thing people see from the road. A giant pumpkin bounce house does that, and the Midway keeps its line entertained.

Under age 4
Haunted Hideout
These games start at age 4. The Hideout covers 2–8 with a fully enclosed playland — the piece that keeps toddler parents from leaving at 6pm.

It's in two of our packages — here's the better value
The Big Event is this Midway plus the Giant Corn Maze, Monster Mash obstacle course, Pumpkin Smash Whack-A-Mole and Haunted Hideout for $1,700 instead of $1,950 booked separately. Both games, a walk-through, a course and a toddler playland — a complete festival on one invoice.
See The Big Event →❓ Common questions
Is the "Pumpkin Smash" game the same as your Pumpkin Smash Whack-A-Mole?
No — and this trips people up, so worth being clear. Pumpkin Smash is one of the three ball-toss games built into this Midway unit. Pumpkin Smash Whack-A-Mole is a completely separate rental — a two-player whack-a-mole game with pop-up pumpkins and black cats, on its own 12-foot inflatable. You can rent either, or both. They pair very well.
Is this a bounce house?
No — nobody goes inside it. It's a carnival game unit: players stand in front and throw balls or rings at targets. That's exactly why it works at events that already have a bounce house and need something different for the kids who've had enough bouncing.
How much space do I really need?
The unit is 16' × 15' with 18 feet of clearance — but leave about 10 more feet in front for players to stand and throw. Roughly 16' × 25' all in. Don't back it up against a fence with no room in front, or you'll have kids throwing from an awkward angle all day.
Do I need someone to run it?
Not really. Kids figure all three games out on their own. Most events do put a volunteer there anyway — to hand out balls, collect tickets and give out prizes — but there's nothing to supervise for safety and nothing to explain. It's the easiest station at any festival to staff.
Are the balls and rings included?
Yes, everything you need for all three games comes with the rental. Nothing extra to buy.
What ages can play?
Ages 4 and up. The Pumpkin Smash lane is forgiving enough for the little ones to score on, and Ghost Ball is tight enough that adults get competitive. If you have kids under 4 at your event, pair it with the Haunted Hideout.
Can I rent it outside of Halloween?
Yes, year-round. Carnival games work at school field days, church picnics and corporate family nights any time — the haunted manor artwork reads as "carnival" more than "October." Non-October dates are far easier to get.
