Ring Toss: One of the Oldest Games People Still Line Up to Play

Ring toss belongs to a family of ancient throwing games. Its close cousin, quoits, was played in the Roman Empire and later became a fixture at fairs and pubs across Britain — meaning people have been tossing rings at pegs for well over a thousand years.

The appeal has never changed: it's instantly understandable, needs zero explanation, and gives everyone a quick hit of satisfaction when a ring lands clean.

That low barrier makes it perfect as the "first game" guests gravitate to while an event gets going. Giant Ring Toss is $15 per event.
