Attraction used in funfairs, fundraisers, and carnivals
King of the Hammer, made by Andamiro, is a modern high striker game. Instead of a hockey puck, the score is represented by lights that illuminate to show the strength of the hit. This version also vends out tickets.
A high striker, also known as a strength tester, or strongman game, is an attraction used in funfairs, amusement parks, fundraisers, and carnivals.[1] It operates by utilizing the lever where one end holds a puck attached to the tower and the other end is struck by the person or contestant using a hammer or mallet.[2] The aim of players is to ring the bell suspended on top of the tower. If the lever is struck with enough force, the puck will rise high enough to hit the bell, indicating a success. Modern versions use a spring-loaded version of the lever, others use an enclosed striking mechanism.
Operators traditionally (or stereotypically) entice people to try the high striker with phrases such as: "Step right up!","Test your strength!", or "Who are the men out of the boys?"
