Beat That! - The Bonkers Battle of Wacky Challenges
LIMBER UP AND PREPARE TO BOUNCE, FLIP, STACK, HOP, ROLL, BLOW, BALANCE AND CATAPULT YOUR WAY TO VICTORY IN THE WORLD’S WACKIEST PARTY GAME!
The aim of Beat That! is to collect as many points as possible by betting on your ability to successfully complete a series of ridiculous challenges using an assortment of seemingly random objects. All players attempt the exact same challenges, so get ready for the ultimate battle of abilities.
Can you bounce 2 balls into 2 cups at the same time using only one hand? How about racing to stack a pyramid of cups using your elbows with your eyes closed?
Beat That! contains 160 ridiculously fun and unique challenges, split into the following 4 categories:
SOLO: Players attempt the challenge on their own
BATTLE ROYALE: Players all compete against each other
BUDDY UP: Players work cooperatively with a partner
DUEL: Players compete head-to-head against an opponent
Beat That! consists of 10 rounds of challenges. Start by dealing 10 betting tokens to each player (tokens have different point values). Next, pick up a challenge card and read it aloud. All players then place a bet on their own ability to complete the challenge. Once bets are placed, go around the circle attempting the challenge. Players who succeed bank their points. The player with the most points at the end of 10 rounds is the champion!
