Downpour Derby® Water Game
The Dueling Water Pump Bucket-Spilling Game
Downpour Derby® is a one-of-a-kind water game where two people of any age pump water as fast as they can to fill the bucket over your opponent's head! The faster you pump, the sooner you tip the "downpour bucket" (1.5 to 3 gallons) on the other person. (A "tie" is lots of fun too!) It provides fantastic soaking fun for hot weather parties, special events, camps and other "wet" play locations.

Downpour Derby is so cool and exciting, its been featured on leading shows on MTV:
- MTV's "Spring Break 2008: Tila Tequila's Fantasy Spring Break Couple" finale special from Florida's Newport Beachside Resort in March, 2008
- "A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila" episode 4, in May, 2008 used six Downpour Derby games side by side for an elimination race with the 12 contestants.
Game variants:
Downpour Relay: Reverse the hoses when setting up so that each player is pumping to spill water on themselves. Provide each player with a cup or small bucket on their head, and a larger bucket or pitcher off to the side that they need to fill. They both pump, fill the vessels on their heads, run to the side bucket and bow to spill their water into it. They do this repeatedly until one of the side buckets or pitchers is full - first to fill wins.
Double Downpour: Downpour Derby's 3-gallon water buckets normally tip and spill when they're half full, to spill about 1.5 gallons per play. You can add extra counterweights ("Extreme Play Counterweight" set sold separately) to ensure the buckets fill to the brim and spill just about 3 gallons with every play.
Downpour Derby sets up in 10-15 minutes with just a screwdriver. Hook up a garden hose to the self-refilling center water tank, and play all day. Each game includes a rustproof all-aluminum frame, polypropylene rotary pumps, unbreakable rubber buckets, and additional many features for fun, stability and durability.
Important: Only play Downpour Derby in a level area with good drainage. (See instructions).
