Cornhole

What is Cornhole?

Cornhole is a game where players take turns tossing a bean bag at a raised board with a hole at the top.

You’ll split into two teams (1v1 or 2v2) one red and one blue, based on your bean bag colour.

It’s a super simple game that’s easy to pick up and fun for all ages.

How to Play

Setup

Place the board 8.23m (27 feet) from throwing line – our staff will do this for you. Split into two teams, each with four bean bags.

Playing

Teams take turns tossing their bags one at a time – one red beanbag, one blue beanbag and so forth. Aiming to land them on the board, or even better, through the hole.

Scoring

A bag through the hole = 3 points, on the board = 1 point, on the ground = 0 points. Cornhole uses cancellation scoring, so your score for a round is your points minus your opponents. If you get below 0, your score will be zero (e.g., -1 = 0).

Winning

The first team to reach 21 points wins!
