PACKAGE TYPE

Fixed bundle — three specific games

Players toss oversized rings onto poles and try to land a ringer. Giant Ring Toss is the purest aim game in the backyard package catalog — you pick your target, you throw, and the ring either encircles the pole or it does not. There is no dice component, no opponent's board to read, no structural vulnerability to exploit. The game rewards the specific physical skill of releasing a ring with enough arc to drop cleanly around a pole at distance. Players who find the right flat-release technique can ring consistently; players who throw with too much loft or too much force miss every time and cannot understand why. Giant Ring Toss is the game in Package 3 that produces the most immediate repeat-attempt response — everyone who misses wants to understand what they did wrong and correct it on the next throw.

Two players take turns dropping discs into the 4-foot-tall, 4-foot-wide grid. First to connect four in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins. Giant Connect 4 is the strategic counterweight to Giant Yardzee's luck element in Package 3: everything that happens in Connect 4 is a direct result of player decisions, with no dice or randomness involved. Players who think about the board — reading their opponent's developing patterns and setting up two-way wins simultaneously — beat players who react only to what they see in front of them. The giant scale makes the full board visible to both players and all spectators, which turns competitive Connect 4 matches into shared events that draw commentary from everyone watching.

Players roll five oversized dice and try to score the highest possible combination across thirteen scoring categories — the same categories as classic Yahtzee, scaled up to outdoor party format. Each turn allows up to three rolls, keeping the dice you want and rerolling the others, before you must commit to a scoring category. The dice come up how they come up — that is the luck element. But choosing which dice to keep, which category to target, and which lower-value category to sacrifice when the combination is not coming — those are all decisions. Giant Yardzee is the only game across all four backyard packages that introduces a dice luck element, and the communal visible dice roll — five large dice landing on the ground where everyone can see the result simultaneously — creates a shared reaction moment that no strategy or aim game produces. When someone rolls Yardzee (all five matching), the response from spectators is immediate and unambiguous.

The Only Backyard Package with a Luck Game

Giant Yardzee is the only dice-based game across all four backyard packages and across the entire fixed game package catalog. Every other game in the catalog rewards skill, strategy, aim, or physical mechanics. Yardzee introduces dice luck as a primary element — meaning Package 3 is the only package where a beginner can beat an experienced player on any given turn purely because the dice cooperated. That unpredictability changes the social atmosphere of the game in a way that pure skill games cannot replicate.

Yardzee Is the Communal Spectator Game

When five oversized dice land on the ground, everyone nearby can see the result simultaneously. The shared reaction — whether it is the groan of a bad roll or the cheer of a Yardzee — happens at the same moment for every spectator. No other game in Package 3 produces this communal dice-fall moment. Giant Ring Toss and Giant Connect 4 are competitive but quiet in their resolution. Giant Yardzee is loud, visible, and immediately shared by everyone in the area regardless of whether they are playing.

Ring Toss Serves the Aim-Skill Player

Giant Ring Toss is the game in Package 3 for the player who wants to develop and demonstrate a specific physical skill. The flat-release technique that rings consistently is learnable, repeatable, and transferable — once you find it, you can ring the same way every time. That repeatability is its own form of satisfaction completely different from the strategic satisfaction of Connect 4 or the luck-adaptation satisfaction of Yardzee. Package 3 gives all three satisfaction types to all three player temperaments at the same event simultaneously.

Connect 4 Anchors the Strategic Competition

While Yardzee produces communal luck moments and Ring Toss produces solo aim satisfaction, Giant Connect 4 produces the head-to-head strategic competition that draws competitive adults into sustained engagement. The familiar game at giant scale, the two-way win setup that forces opponents into impossible choices, the spectator commentary from guests watching the board — Connect 4 provides the intellectual competitive anchor that makes Package 3 more than just a luck-and-aim combination.

No Tables, No Electricity, No Infrastructure

All three games set up on flat ground or floor with no tables, no power requirements, and no surface preparation. Giant Ring Toss poles go in the ground or set on flat surface. Giant Connect 4 is freestanding. Giant Yardzee rolls on any flat area. Package 3 deploys anywhere — backyard, gymnasium, fellowship hall, church parking lot, school grounds — with one setup requirement: flat space for three game stations.

The Most Affordable Backyard Package at $100

Package 3 ties Backyard Party Package 4 as the most affordable in the backyard family — both at $100 for up to 8 hours. Giant Ring Toss ($25), Giant Connect 4 ($70), and Giant Yardzee ($25) total $120 individually, so the package saves $20 over separate bookings. The savings add up more significantly when you factor in the eliminated need to coordinate three individual delivery orders.

How to Play Giant Ring Toss

Players toss oversized rings toward a set of poles and try to land a ringer — the ring encircling the pole cleanly. Score a point or prize for each ringer. Compete for the highest ringer count per turn or for head-to-head ringer accumulation over multiple turns. The key technique is a flat, controlled release that keeps the ring level through the air so it drops cleanly around the pole rather than bouncing off the top. Players who discover the correct flat-release angle can ring consistently and will immediately want to repeat it from increasing distances.

How to Play Giant Connect 4

Two players alternate dropping their color discs into the 4-foot grid from the top. Discs fall to the lowest open position in the chosen column. First to connect four discs in a row — horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — wins. Strategy centers on building offensive sequences while blocking the opponent's developing patterns. The key tactical move: creating a position where you have two ways to win simultaneously, forcing the opponent to block one direction while you complete the other. Pairs or teams can play by alternating whose turn it is within each team.

How to Play Giant Yardzee

Each player rolls all five oversized dice on their turn. After the first roll, keep any dice you want and reroll the rest — up to two additional rolls per turn. After your final roll, you must fill in one of the thirteen scoring categories on the scoresheet: ones through sixes (sum of that number on the dice), three of a kind, four of a kind, full house, small straight, large straight, chance, and Yardzee (all five matching — scores 50 points). Each category can only be used once per game. The player with the highest total score after all thirteen categories are filled wins. If a category is unusable, mark it as zero for that turn.

Birthday Parties — Something for Every Competitor Type

The strategic competitor goes to Connect 4. The physical skill competitor goes to Ring Toss. The "I just want to see what the dice give me" guest goes to Yardzee and ends up staying the longest. Pair with a bounce house rental and the party covers physical play, skill, strategy, and luck in a single combined order.

Family Reunions — Luck Levels the Playing Field

At family reunions, Giant Yardzee is the great equalizer — a 10-year-old with fortunate dice can beat the competitive uncle who has been practicing Ring Toss technique all afternoon. The luck element in Yardzee creates a specific type of multi-generational fairness that pure skill games cannot produce. Four-generation family gatherings find Package 3 particularly strong because someone in every age group is favored by at least one of the three game philosophies.

Church Events and Fellowship Gatherings

Yardzee generates natural conversation around the scoresheet — players discuss which category to fill, what they need on the next roll, whether to sacrifice a category now or gamble on rolling better. That decision-discussion social dynamic makes Yardzee particularly effective at church fellowship events where the goal is connection and conversation alongside activity. See our church event ideas page for complete planning guidance.

Corporate Events and Office Parties

Package 3's three game philosophies reveal three different colleague personalities at corporate events. The methodical strategist dominates Connect 4. The physically coordinated employee perfects Ring Toss. The person who claims they have no competitive nature ends up the most invested in their Yardzee scoresheet by the end of the afternoon. The luck element in Yardzee also means anyone in the office can legitimately beat their manager on a good roll.

Indoor Events — Works on Any Flat Surface

All three games require no electricity, no tables, and no outdoor surface. Yardzee rolls on any flat floor. Connect 4 is freestanding indoors. Ring Toss works in large indoor spaces with enough room for the throwing distance. Gymnasium events, school cafeteria parties, fellowship hall gatherings, and hotel ballroom corporate events can all accommodate Package 3 without any venue accommodation.

School Events and Classroom Parties

Yardzee's scoring sheet structure naturally supports classroom formats — teachers can run the game as a math activity with the scoring categories serving as addition and probability practice. Giant Connect 4 supports classroom bracket competition. Giant Ring Toss provides the physical movement break that classroom parties need. See our vendor approval for schools page for required documentation.

Bounce House Rentals

Add a bounce house and the event runs four zones: active physical play, aim skill at Ring Toss, strategic competition at Connect 4, and dice luck at Yardzee. One combined order, one delivery.

Backyard Party Package 4

The $100 sibling package — Giant Jenga, Giant Checkers, and Ladder Ball. If Package 3's aim-strategy-luck mix is not quite right for your crowd, compare Package 4's structure-strategy-bola-throwing combination.

Tables, Chairs, and Tents

Add a table for the Yardzee scoresheet and drinks, chairs for spectators watching Connect 4 matches, and a tent for shade at outdoor summer events.

What three games are in Backyard Party Package 3?

Package 3 includes Giant Ring Toss (oversized rings tossed onto poles — pure aim skill game; score a ringer by encircling the pole cleanly), Giant Connect 4 (4-foot-tall by 4-foot-wide grid — drop discs to connect four in a row; pure strategy game for two players or teams), and Giant Yardzee (five oversized dice — roll, keep what you want, reroll up to twice, score across thirteen Yahtzee-style categories; the only dice luck game in any backyard package). No tables or electricity required for any of the three games.

How is Package 3 different from Backyard Party Package 2?

Package 2 at $120 is the pure strategy classics package — Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4, and Giant Checkers. All three are familiar classics that reward strategic thinking and game knowledge. Package 3 at $100 introduces Giant Yardzee — the only luck-based dice game in any backyard package — alongside Giant Ring Toss (aim skill) and Giant Connect 4 (strategy). Package 3 covers three genuinely different game philosophies: aim, strategy, and luck. Choose Package 2 for the pure strategy classics experience. Choose Package 3 for the aim-strategy-luck mix and the communal Yardzee dice-roll moment.

Do I need a scoresheet for Giant Yardzee?

Yes — Yardzee tracks scores across thirteen categories per player, so a scoresheet is needed. Inflatable Party Magic delivers Giant Yardzee with scoring sheets included. If you run out of scoresheets during a long event, the standard Yahtzee scoring format is the same and can be written on any paper — ones through sixes, three of a kind, four of a kind, full house, small straight, large straight, chance, and Yardzee. A table from the tables, chairs, and tents category is helpful for keeping the scoresheet flat and accessible during play.

Can I add a bounce house to the same order as Package 3?

Yes — add a bounce house or water slide to the same cart and Inflatable Party Magic delivers everything in one trip. The inflatable handles children's main activity; Package 3's three games cover aim, strategy, and luck for guests between bounce turns and for adults throughout. See our what to expect on event day page for delivery guidance.
