High Striker Hire – Test Your Strength
Bring a classic fairground challenge to your next event with High Striker Hire from JM Entertainment. This traditional Test Your Strength attraction gives participants the chance to swing the hammer, hit the target and see how high they can send the indicator.
Simple, competitive and instantly recognisable, it's a great choice for corporate events, exhibitions, festivals, family fun days, promotional campaigns, university events and parties.
JM Entertainment provides professional event rental throughout the UK, including regular delivery to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool.
The Classic Test Your Strength Challenge
Few attractions capture the atmosphere of a traditional fairground quite like this one.
Participants take the hammer and strike the target, attempting to send the indicator as high as possible. The straightforward challenge means guests can understand what to do almost immediately.
It also creates plenty of friendly competition. Colleagues can compete against each other, friends can compare their strength and event organisers can run challenges throughout the day.
The attraction is well suited to:
How Does It Work?
The concept is simple: pick up the hammer, take your position and strike the target with a controlled swing.
The impact sends the indicator upwards, allowing participants and spectators to see the result immediately.
You can leave guests to compete casually or turn the attraction into an organised competition.
For corporate events, participants could represent different departments or teams. At exhibitions and promotions, prizes could be awarded for strong performances or successful challenges.
Corporate Events & Team Building
A traditional strength challenge is a natural choice when you want to introduce friendly competition into a company event.
It can be used as a standalone attraction or incorporated into a larger programme containing several different activities.
Suitable occasions include company fun days, staff parties, summer celebrations, team-building events and employee engagement days.
For team competitions, award points for each participant's performance and combine them with scores from your other activities to find an overall winning team.
Exhibitions & Brand Activations
The familiar fairground format can also provide an effective interactive feature at exhibitions and promotional events.
Visitors can quickly understand the challenge without lengthy instructions, helping you encourage participation around your exhibition stand or activation area.
Competitions can be run throughout the day, while branding options can help integrate the attraction with a promotional campaign.
Tell us about your event, campaign and branding requirements when requesting a quotation.
Festivals, Fairs & Family Fun Days
The hammer challenge is particularly at home at festivals, fairs and family entertainment events.
Its traditional appearance helps create a fairground atmosphere, while the competitive format encourages visitors to stop and have a go.
For larger events, it can be positioned alongside other interactive attractions to create a varied activity area.
This also gives visitors several challenges to try rather than relying on a single form of entertainment.

Equipment Size & Venue Requirements
The High Striker stands approximately 10 ft tall, so height clearance is an important consideration when choosing where it will be positioned.
Approximately 11 ft of operating height is required.
You should also provide sufficient surrounding space for participants to use the hammer safely and for the attraction to be operated correctly.
For indoor events, check your venue's ceiling height carefully. If you're unsure about suitability, send us your venue information before booking.
Indoor & Outdoor Use
The attraction can potentially be used at indoor or outdoor events, subject to appropriate space, access and operating conditions.
Indoor venues need sufficient height and a suitable playing area.
For outdoor events, the proposed location needs to provide an appropriate operating space and conditions.
Tell us whether your event is indoors or outdoors when requesting a quotation so we can discuss the requirements with you.
Combine It with Other Event Games
The strength challenge works particularly well alongside other competitive entertainment.
For a company fun day or team-building event, guests could move between several games and collect points at each activity.
At festivals and family events, combining different attractions gives visitors a wider choice of entertainment.
JM Entertainment supplies sports challenges, reaction games, arcade machines, inflatables and other interactive attractions that can be combined into a larger package.
