The Official PaddleSmash & TowerToss Blog
There’s something special about backyard games.
They turn strangers into teammates. They turn family gatherings into tournaments. They create the kind of moments people talk about long after the sun goes down.
That’s exactly why we created PaddleSmash and TowerToss — and it’s why we’re launching The Backyard.
This blog is going to be the home for everything happening behind the scenes at PaddleSmash. From new product launches and game updates to tournament news, retailer announcements, event recaps, product design stories, and maybe a few chaotic backyard rivalries along the way… this is where we’ll share it all.
Why We Started The Backyard
When we launched PaddleSmash, our goal was simple:
Create a game that gets people outside, moving, competing, laughing, and making memories together.
What started as an idea quickly turned into something much bigger than we ever imagined. From backyard BBQs to beaches, college campuses, tailgates, and even national television, we’ve loved seeing people make PaddleSmash part of their lives.
Then came TowerToss — another game built around the idea that simple competition creates unforgettable fun.
As our games and community continue to grow, we wanted a place to connect directly with all of you.
That place is The Backyard.

More Than Just Games
To us, backyard games are really about connection.
They bring together kids, parents, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and total strangers. They create moments where phones disappear and people actually interact with each other again.
That’s the kind of fun we want to build.
And honestly, we think the world could use a little more of it.
This Is Just the Beginning
We’ve got a lot coming.
New ideas. New products. New events. New ways to play.
And now, a new place to share the journey with all of you.
So welcome to The Backyard — we’re glad you’re here.
Now grab a paddle, toss a bean bag, call your shot, and let the games begin.
