Skyfall
Sprint the floor while spiked balls rain down. Don't get hit.
What is Skyfall?
Skyfall puts every player on a single flat floor, legs pumping, running back and forth with no idea what's coming. Above them a grinning menace rides a cloud and drops spiked balls onto the crowd. A hit is instant elimination.
The floor closes in as the game runs and the drops come faster, so the survivors get squeezed into an ever smaller space. It's pure luck dressed up as a near miss - and the room will be shouting at people who can't hear them.
How to play Skyfall
- Your crew sprints across the floor on their own - nobody controls anything.
- Spiked balls drop from the cloud. A direct hit eliminates you instantly.
- The floor narrows as the game runs. Last runner standing wins.
Loved by teams everywhere
“We use it to pick who demos at every sprint review. It's become the best 30 seconds of our week.”
“Ran it at our all-hands with 60 people on the big screen. The whole room was on their feet.”
“So much better than drawing names from a hat - the physics make everyone actually lean in and cheer.”
Frequently asked questions
Can players dodge the balls?
No - the runners move on their own and never look up. Whether a ball lands on you comes down to where your legs happened to take you.
What if the last two players are hit at the same time?
The winner is drawn at random between them and the result is shown as a photo finish, so a round always ends with exactly one winner.
Do players need an app or account?
No downloads. The game runs on your big screen, and for the phone-based quiz games players simply open a link in their browser - no account, no install.
Can I use photos of my own team?
Yes. Add each player with a photo and Tombola automatically removes the background so everyone shows up as their own character in the game.
