{"product_id":"dunk-tank","title":"Dunk Tank Rentals","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"answer-capsule\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dunk Tank is the classic carnival game where players throw balls at a target to drop the person sitting above a full tank of water.

A person sits on a collapsible seat above a tank filled with water. Players take turns throwing balls at a target mounted on the side. Hit the target and the seat drops, sending the person straight into the water. It is one of the most crowd-pleasing interactive games available for hire, and it works for school fetes, birthday parties, corporate days, and fundraisers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dunk Tank is a warm-weather favourite, with bookings peaking from October through March. School fete season in Terms 1 and 4 drives strong demand, as does the corporate end-of-year party window in November and December. The game also draws crowds at charity fundraisers, Australia Day celebrations, and community festivals. It works best outdoors where water spillage is not a problem, with a flat area and access to a water supply nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-figure-grid\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"product-figure-grid__cell\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/3274\/2137\/files\/dunk-tank-card-spec-jump-about.jpg\" alt=\"Dunk Tank hire dimensions and pricing info card, Jump About\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"product-figure-grid__cell\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/3274\/2137\/files\/dunk-tank-square-frontface-jump-about.jpg\" alt=\"Dunk Tank splash target panel facing forward in a Central Coast backyard, Jump About\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4m x 4m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpace required (with clearance)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6m x 6m minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 years to adult\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSetup surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat outdoor area.
