ABOUT CANNONBALL

Get ready for a game of skill, strategy, and splashes!
Cannonball utilizes an inflatable pool, three unique balls, and these pool
targets to create one of the best group games in years. Inspired by the fun
memories of trying to sink the stick or piece of bark in the river, Cannonball
is a new game influenced by an age-old tradition. Pick up a set for your family
and get ready for the fun!

Mission Statement

  • At Cannonball Games, our mission is to bring people together through bold, original games that transform everyday outdoor spaces into unforgettable shared experiences. We design games that are simple to learn, deeply strategic, physically engaging, and wildly fun.

  • Above all, we are committed to creating durable, thoughtfully designed games that invite players of all backgrounds to step outside, move their bodies, and play together—because play isn’t just entertainment, it’s how communities are built.

Our Vision & Values

  • Vision

    We envision a world where play is social, physical, and
    intentional    —where games don’t isolate people on screens, but pull them outside, bring them into a circle, and give everyone a reason to lean in.

     

    Cannonball Games aims to define a new category of modern outdoor games: games that are approachable yet competitive, active but inclusive, and strategic without being complicated. We want Cannonball to be the game people bring out when they want energy in the yard, laughter around the pool, and moments that feel spontaneous but unforgettable.

     

    Our long-term vision is to build a portfolio of games that become go-to staples for gatherings, passed from group to group, generation to generation—games that don’t just fill time, but create stories.

  • Values

    Designed for Groups
    Every game is made to keep everyone involved—no long waits, no early eliminations.

     

    Simple, Strategic, Addictive
