Are you looking for an easy and fun game to play with friends and family that keeps everyone on an even playing field? Then you’ve got to check out HOOT!, a combination between a game of egg toss and scoop ball! It’s definitely a blast to play and there aren’t a lot of rules to keep track of either.
About HOOT!
HOOT! is an outdoor game played with four or more players, two per team, where one team member tosses a rubber ball and the other attempts to catch it with a hand-held scoop at progressively greater and more difficult distances. Teams score on offense but can also score when playing defense by intercepting their opponent’s tossed ball. Teams can also call shots (by shouting out HOOT!) with double points awarded on a completed toss. The first team to reach 21 points wins the match.
HOOT! provides hours of outdoor activity. It’s a leisurely-paced game ideal for family and friend get togethers, backyard fun, tailgating, camping trips, or at the beach, cottage or lake.
Features Include:
Four (4) plastic scoops
Two (2) rubber balls
Custom carry bag
Laminated weatherproof rules
My Thoughts:
When I look for a new game to play at parties or on family game night, it needs to be pretty simple so everyone can be included, no matter their age or ability. Plus it has to be easy to keep track of and not have pieces falling everywhere, getting lost. Both of those conditions are met (and more!) with the game of HOOT! by SeaTurtle Sports.
The game pieces are four scoop cups and two rubber balls and that’s it. And they all stay together in the drawstring backpack they come in! I can toss it over my shoulder, into a backpack or suitcase, or just carry outside to the party for hours of fun. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re young or old, tall or short; it just matters that you are having a good time.
The rules are pretty simple: teams of two toss a ball to their partner to try to catch, with each round gaining more difficulty by changing their stances and longer distances. If your partner catches your ball, then you win a point. But you can also catch the other team’s intended ball, AND you can shout out HOOT! and if you catch that particular throw, you can earn double the points. First team to 21 wins!
The sponsor also included two drink Spikers (keeps your drinks out of the sand) with the SeaTurtle Sports logo printed on them. These were originally sold and the profits were donated to The Jekyll Island Foundation to support its efforts in rehabilitating sea turtles.
HOOT! would make a great gift for a housewarming gift, pool opening celebration, family reunion or any other reason that people get together for fun times. Be sure to check out the SeaTurtle Sports website for more information.
