You could also simplify this by just blindfolding the 'throwers'. The other team members could see the ships but not talk. - Bentia (1 Sep 2008)
Tried playing this in our gym and I think that the area was just too large. It made the game very slow paced. We did try playing it with two balls which sped things up a bit. - Nate (3 Feb 2010)
Our Youth Group tried this in our Pastor's living room. We had 10 kids (5 girls/5 boys)used my kids toys to use as bombs. We gave each team 5 tries to accumlate as many points as possible within 20 seconds. The kids had a BLAST! lol

This would be fun played outside, with water balloons! - Jenny (19 Apr 2011)
We played this indoors in our youth hall with waterbombs! Had a great time! - Emmily (9 Jun 2011)
We did a little more extravagant version of this... We got a bunch of cardboard boxes together and had the youth build battle ships (the same number for each team) without telling them what they would use them for. Then we used a volleyball net with a tarp over it as a divider, and the students placed their ships. Next, the teams would take turns launching a water balloon as a team using a sheet (everyone holding onto the edges and learning how to launch the water balloon over). When a ship was hit, it was out. Using the sheets/water balloons made the lag time still fun because the youth were learning strategies of working together. We had a blast--and got pretty wet! - Amber (8 Mar 2012)
