HUNGERBALL® has had a massive year, with about 40,000 people having so many fun battles that they didn’t even realise how much energy they were burning up.
HUNGERBALL® has been played at:
- 140 Auckland schools
- 45-50 schools around Aotearoa
- 40 New Zealand football clubs
- 100 community events
- 8 new licenses this year in New Zealand and Australia
That’s about 100,000 minutes of running, sweating and strategising inside HUNGERBALL® arenas, with the youngest player being three and the oldest 82.
We’ve also had some sporting legends giving the game a go, including former All Black Kevin Mealamu, former All White Bobby Almond and NZ 2022 Golden Boot Garbhan Coughlan from Cashmere Technical Christchurch.
Thanks for letting us tire out all of these HUNGERBALLERS.
