South Point Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas

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.
