From backyard experiment to patented game: the journey of Hillbilly Hand Toss
During the unprecedented times of COVID-19 isolation, we found ourselves seeking new ways to stay entertained while maintaining social connections. What started as a backyard experiment quickly evolved into something special. Drawing inspiration from classic yard games we grew up with, we began prototyping what would eventually become Hillbilly Hand Toss.
The initial concept was simple: create a game that anyone could play, regardless of athletic ability, that would bring people together and create lasting memories. We spent countless hours in the garage, testing different materials and configurations until we found the perfect combination of challenge and fun.
What began as a simple DIY project transformed into a journey of innovation and refinement. We tested countless prototypes, hosted numerous backyard tournaments, and gathered feedback from friends and family who quickly became devoted players. Each iteration brought new insights and improvements.
The scoring system was particularly important to us - we wanted something that was easy to understand but offered enough complexity to keep the game interesting. After months of testing and refinement, we finally arrived at our current scoring system, which has proven to be the perfect balance of strategy and luck.
Today, Hillbilly Hand Toss represents more than just a game - it's a testament to creativity born from challenging times and the enduring appeal of bringing people together through play. As we move forward, we're excited to share this game with more people and see how it becomes part of their gatherings and traditions.
We're constantly amazed by the stories we hear from early adopters - from tailgate parties to family reunions, Hillbilly Hand Toss has found its way into countless celebrations and casual get-togethers. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us next.
