Shoot ducks with a paintball gun

Ankjakten

This time, the tables have turned. Gone are the days of playing nicely with rubber ducks. Now it’s time to shoot them down. An experienced duck hunter always reloads between shots to keep up the rhythm. Of course, the ammunition is nothing but soft rubber balls, so no ducks will be harmed.

Time to cool down with a milkshake

Controlling a glass with a joystick is trickier than it looks. Each lane has a series of pipes and taps with water flowing from them.

Basketball hoops you can’t trust

Rockringen

If ordinary free throws are child’s play for you, Rockringen is well worth a try. This game really puts your basketball skills to the test, because these are no ordinary free throws.

You have a three metre lane to work with, so try banking the ball off the side for a better chance of hitting your target.

Using a standard air rifle, you’ll shoot at a round target. Between each shot, reload the rifle manually by pointing it upwards to prevent the pellet from getting stuck in the barrel. Good luck!

Handy to know

1. Pick your teams

Choose a meticulous, rule-enforcing team captain for each team and let their expert knowledge of the group decide who belongs where. If you’re more of the “every person for themselves” persuasion and don’t fancy splitting into teams, individual competition works just as well.

2. Choose the right games

Make your Pentathlon as fun and exciting as possible by mixing different types of challenges where you can throw, shoot, aim, hammer and roll. That way, there’s something to suit everyone’s skills – and plenty of opportunity for extra excitement!

3. Keep score

Once you’ve completed all the games, award 10 points to the person or team with the highest score in each game, 8 points to the runner-up, and so on. Bonus points for particularly stylish rule-breaking – sliding tackles, elbows and shirt-pulling, for example – may be awarded as required.

Here are a few suggestions:

Teams

Option 1 – Add together everyone’s scores for each game.

Option 2 – Count the three highest scores for each game.

Individual

Option 1 – Award 10 points for the highest score, 8 for second place, then 6, 4, 2 and 0 for each game.

Option 2 – Award 1 point to the winner of each game, 2 points to second place, and so on.

4. Come up with a team chant

Mental strength is crucial in any competition. A rousing team chant or some freshly written lyrics to a rock anthem can work wonders for team spirit.

5. Take a refreshment break

It’s important to keep your energy levels up when competing hard. After two or three games, it might be time for a well-earned refreshment break.

6. Take on a ride

A ride on one of Liseberg’s thrilling attractions is a must. Choose something with plenty of speed and power to put even the bravest competitors to the test.

7. Treat yourselves

Candyfloss, waffles with jam and cream, a delicious hot dog – don’t forget to give your taste buds something to enjoy too. You’ll find plenty of tempting options throughout the park.

8. Hold an awards ceremony

Shopping for prizes is one of the competition committee’s most enjoyable duties. You’ll find both medals and consolation prizes in the shops around the park.

9. Finally, food!

After all that hard-fought competition, you’ve earned a proper celebratory meal – complete with thank-you speeches and plenty of praise for everyone’s heroic efforts.
