A game played with floorball sticks and balls where participants can challenge themselves at their own level.
Before the game begins, many cones are set up around the room or field where the activity will take place. The cones are placed randomly and can be numbered or marked in another way. Participants are divided into pairs, ideally two who are at approximately the same skill level.
The goal of the game is to hit selected cones with the fewest possible strokes.
For the youngest, one can play for one cone at a time. For the oldest, one can add up the number of strokes for several cones, for example, competing for the fewest strokes on a total of five cones. Players can either remember the number of misses/strokes in their head or write it down on a piece of paper, like in mini-golf.
Gameplay
- Each pair agrees on a starting cone (one of the cones placed on the field).
- The pairs go to their respective starting cones, spreading out around the field.
- They agree on which cone they want to try and hit first.
Player 1 aims and shoots towards the agreed cone:
- If they hit on the first stroke, it's counted as '0 misses', and it's the partner's turn.
- If they miss, they take another stroke and continue until the cone is hit. Player 1 then counts the number of misses (for example, '3 misses').
Player 2 does the same: aims, shoots, and counts any misses.
Then the pair agrees on a new starting point and a new cone. The game continues until they have played for an agreed number of cones, or until time runs out.
The player who has used the fewest strokes overall wins.
