Don't get us wrong, ping pong is great. You probably think so too but also realize that it's not the most practical game to have around the home. That being said, you and your household enjoy small ball games and want to maintain the theme when it comes to game nights and weekends. Obviously beer pong isn't an option given that there's probably kids involved, and foosball (which is expensive) doesn't involve the mobility you're looking for. So are there other ping pong alternatives to consider? While there aren't many, there is one that has bounced onto the "indoor games" scene that North American homes are pretty darn excited about - Popongo. Below is a summary of why this is the ping pong alternative you're household is looking for.
What Makes Popongo a Great Alternative to Ping Pong for Your Home
--------------------
Keeps Players Moving Like Ping Pong
One of the reasons you're searching for ping pong alternatives as opposed to substitutes from traditional household games is because you appreciate the mobility aspect of ping pong. Popongo is a stand-to-play game that keeps players tossing (overhand or underhand) and moving around during game-play, without exerting too much physical effort. Simply put - Popongo is good for the body!
Skill Development
Like with ping pong, skill development is involved. While you don't need experience to fully enjoy yourselves, you'll find it even more enjoyable once you progress from beginner to intermediate to greatness status! Fine motor skills along with hand-eye coordination progress with each passing week of game-play. These benefits may even translate into other areas of your life.
Less Space Required
Ping pong is cool if a household has the room not just for the table, but for the circumference required for players to move around to track-and-paddle the ball back and forth. But as someone searching for a ping pong alternative it's safe to assume that you don't have the interior space. The space between players and the Popongo board on the other hand, can be shortened and adjusted to account the size of the room.
Play Popongo on the Patio and Backyard
You can't easily move a ping pong table from inside to outside. There's also the risk of those acrylonitrile butadiene styrene spheres being sent over the grumpy neighbor's fence, never to be seen again. Popongo beats this problem too. It's easily transported and set-up on your patio or backyard, and the balls are designed to be bouncy but not so much that they will disappear into the ether when they miss their target.
Perfect Travel Companion Too
The same characteristics that make Popongo easy to transition from an indoor to an outdoor environment also make it the perfect travel companion. Proud owners are known to bring the game set with them to vacation hotels and resorts, airbnbs, and cruise ships.
