Hello all sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I'm looking for ideas for obstacles for a home made messy/embarrassing obstacle course I can do at home so if anybody as any ideas advice or input please post


Thanks I'm advance sb XX

Messy obstacle course sounds awesome! I think whatever you do has to end with a slide into a pool of mess.

Well this sounds like a cool idea! Seems you're mostly going for 'silly/humiliating'?

Here's an idea: attach a piece of string to the bottom of a bag of flour, then put it down on top of something. When the string is pulled, the bag will be pulled up by the bottom and the flour will fall out. You can make this big too by suspending a hammock or something that you have to jump into, with the ends of the hammock tied to a bunch of containers of messy stuff that fall down when you jump into the hammock (be careful to put something soft underneath it so you don't make a hard landing, and don't use heavy containers that would hurt if they fell on you).

You could also copy these Japanese gameshows where there's a "wall" made out of paper that you have to jump through, only to land in a pool of mess.

You could do the 'stepping on a shovel' gag, except there's a pie at the end that lands in your face (or somewhere near it).

Or the simplest method, which is just a bunch of hurdles to get over while another person blasts you with pies.

hmm, a messy and embarrassing obstacle course eh? How about this:

To start, your pants are yanked down to your ankles, you have to do the rest of the course with them there (extra points for embarrassing undies!). Waddle a fair distance to a table where 24 eggs are in a bowl - half are hard boiled, the other half are raw - smash 12 of them on your head to move on to the next obstacle where you'll have to army crawl under 5 strings set up 2 feet off the ground (put stakes in the ground and tie a string across them). This wouldn't be so bad except that it happens to be set up over a mud pit! At the end try to get back up without tripping (which will be tough with your pants still at your ankles) and move on to another table where an enormous cream pie is waiting with a ribbon at the bottom of it that you have to find, but only using your face and mouth. Once you find it you can move on to the last obstacle which has 4 balloons dangling from a string overhead. You put on a headband with a pin in it and jump to pop each balloon, the first filled with baked beans, the second filled with cake batter, the third filled with chocolate sauce and the 4th filled with confetti and feathers!

Ta da! You win! Or really, the rest of us do as we point and laugh

Whatever you decide to do, I think that you should set up a garden hose, to spray over the course.
Then you will get nice and wet, regardless of whatever obstacles you set up.

I love this sort of thing.

What about having to crawl under a sheet/tunnel which is full of mess
Balance a hilariously easy to spill or leaky container on your head and have to transport it through obstacles
Blindfolded walking through trip wires that spray or drop things on you

Thank you for all the great ideas guys just a quick update so far I have two paddling pools a a large tunnel game thing a slip and slide two extremely large rubber rings and then obviously the little things like balloons and so on


I'm really going to get on it this week so please do keep the ideas coming

That sounds absolutely fantastic!
There's going to be lots of water about, by the sound of it!
Love it!

A pants fill and self wedgie set up area is a must! If you can fit it into an assault course, timed at front and timed on rear! Or if you're doing it with another participant vice versa

For a quick obstacle have 5 cakes with one of them a flag or something on the bottom. You can either smash your face into them or sit and grind on them looking for flag.

The setup...

Kneel in one of the pools, Hang bags of mess an head height, put something in each of the bags that tells you which of the below messy tasks to do. This is the mechanism to pick which obstacle you go too next. There are three messy tasks so have 9 bags so you have to do each messy task 3 times.

You should also pic something to collect on the way round like plastic balls you know the ones you fill a ball pit with? You will wear a fantastic clown outfit, full makeup with something like rainwear waders to stuff the plastic balls (and mess) you are collecting inside, waders are great because you'll be shoving mess inside too and they'll get full and hard to move in.

Tunnel, put cakes inside all along the tunnel with lots of the plastic balls.

Fill the other pool with custard and plastic balls. Find a blindfold that's easy to get on and off.

Fill 3 buckets with different mess and balls for apple bobbing like event. Porridge, angel delight, and your favourite mess fell appropriate to fill the them with. Make sure the bucket/ plastic tub IS big enough to get your head all the way to the bottom.

How to play...

Kneel in the pool with the hanging bags of mess over it, put your hands behind your back, you have to use your mouth and teeth to break the bag to reveal the thing inside that tells you which obstacle to go to. If you struggle with teeth use your hands, just make sure you are under the bag so mess covers your face and dribbles inside the rainwear waders.

Tunnel, crawl through collecting balls, stuffing the collected balls and mess inside the waders

Custard pool, blind fold yourself, get in the pool and roll around collecting balls, stuffing custard and balls inside your trousers.

Buckets, use 1 bucket each go, hands behind your back, bob for the plastic balls putting each one in the outfit.

After each obstacle , return to the plastic bags to pic a new obstacle. Time yourself or give yourself a time limit to make it more exciting.

What do you think?

Loving your work.

Idea:

You will need:
Some balloons filled with your favourite mess (custard, gunge etc.), something to hang them from, a stick with a pin on the end, and a plastic bowl you can wear on your head (easiest option tape it to a hat).

Then go around popping the balloons with a stick and trying catch the mess in the bowl.

If playing with others see who can fill a bowl fastest.

You could make it like a course and add a bunch of traps along the way like a pool covered in leaves that no one can see till they run over it?
Aid stations with paint at them

Depends an the set up and how long it goes could throw some suggestions if you have any details about the set up
