An indoor bowling set can be fun for any household, be it one comprised of a young professional couple or multigenerational family. But before you "add to cart" on Amazon (et cetera) you might want to consider an alternative that will offer even more enjoyment and convenience.
4 Reasons Why Popongo is a Great Alternative (or addition) to an Indoor Bowling Set for Your Home
IT WILL NEVER GET BORING
Knocking down a set of pins in your living room can be fun. But as the weekends of game-play turn into months the game loses its luster. The indoor bowling set eventually gets left in the closet, then moves into storage along with old Christmas decorations, not to be retrieved until the next household yard sale.
This won't happen with Popongo.
Popongo is a dynamic game that gets participants up and moving in a variety of ways. Balls can be tossed underhand, overhand, or even sideways or bounced from a hardwood floor if one feels inclined. And as the rulebook indicates, there is a black cup equalizer that can alter the score of the game in an instant! On that latter note, the opportunity for trick-shots can be added to game-play if participants desire, adjusting for greater distances, seemingly impossible angles, or other wacky ideas. For example (tap to watch):
LESS SPACE REQUIRED
This Popongo advantage is a practical one. It's challenging enough that minimal space can be employed between where players stand and where the game board is positioned. This is preferred over an indoor bowling set where greater distance is needed to make the game worth playing. This is good for households with limited space.
CAN BE PLAYED ON ANY SURFACE
An indoor bowling game set requires a hard floor surface (wood, vinyl, concrete) to be played effectively. Meanwhile, a Popongo set can be played without compromise over shaggy carpet, uneven flooring, or even on grass and sand.
YOU CAN BRING IT WITH YOU
When packed up in this convenient carry case, Popongo becomes so compact that it can be brought with you to enjoy at the beach, on vacation to a hotel/airbnb, on a cruise ship, or wherever your household's heart desires. The same certainly can't be said for a cumbersome indoor bowling set.
