Choosing an inflatable game guarantees fun… but also safety. One of the most important questions before renting is the size of the inflatable game in relation to the available space . Too big, it won't fit. Too small, it might be disappointing. Here's a simple and practical guide to help you make the right choice.
1. Measure your space first
Before choosing an inflatable game, take a few minutes to measure the space where it will be installed.
To be checked :
-
Available length and width
-
Clearance height (trees, power lines, balconies, ceilings)
-
Ground surface (grass, asphalt, concrete, indoor floor)
👉 Tip: Add at least 3 feet of clearance all around the game to ensure safety and facilitate installation.
2. Indoors or outdoors: it makes all the difference
Outside
-
Ideal for large-scale games (slides, obstacle courses, combination games)
-
Make sure the ground is flat and clear
-
Check access to an electrical outlet
Inside
-
Ceiling height is often the limiting factor.
-
Gymnasiums and community halls are perfect.
-
Opt for lower and more compact games.
3. Adjust the size according to the children's age
A game that is too big or too small can detract from the experience.
-
2 to 4 years old : small games, low height, easy access
-
Ages 5 to 8 : Medium-sized games with slides or simple obstacles
-
Ages 9 and up : obstacle courses, sports games, larger structures
👉 An age-appropriate game = more fun and more safety.
4. Consider the number of participants
The more children there are, the more spacious the play area needs to be.
-
5 to 8 children : standard game
-
8 to 12 children : combined game or large game
-
12+ children : inflatable obstacle course or multiple games
💡 For very busy parties, renting two smaller games is often more efficient than one very large one.
