WHAT'S HAPPENING

August 9, 2026

South Point Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas
Exhibition games, drills, and 3-vs-3 play to 21 points, win by 2.

Ball Phase

Soft foam balls. Three strikes stop the ball phase. Catches do not count as hits; players remain in play.

Knodge Phase

Players answer from discrete lists. Each player gets a 3-second response opportunity, with a rebound when needed.

Safety

Waivers and wristbands are required. Officials can stop play for injury or potential injury.

ABOUT KNO'DGEBALL

Trivia + Athletics

Kno'dgeball combines two very different skills: answering knowledge questions and physically dodging or throwing soft balls.

Built for live play

The rules were developed through run-throughs at trivia events, parks, and game-show camps to maximize participation and fun.

Designed around lists

Knodge questions are discrete lists of possible answers, creating strategy for teammates and pressure in every round.

“Throw & Know”

Keep your head in the game: move, throw, answer, and keep repeating until someone reaches the target.
