What Is a Dunk Tank?
A dunk tank is a classic event game built around one simple challenge. One eligible participant takes a seat over a large tank of water while another guest stands at the throwing line and aims for the target. If the throw hits the target, the seat releases and the person drops into the water.
It is simple to follow, exciting to watch and gives the whole group a reason to gather around. You may also hear it called a dunking booth, but the goal is the same: take your best shot and see who makes the splash.

Why Dunk Tanks Are a Hit at Group Events
A dunk tank gives guests something they can join, watch and laugh about together.
Fun for Participants and Spectators
The person throwing, the volunteer on the seat and the crowd waiting for the splash all become part of the moment.
A Memorable Fundraising Activity
Schools, churches and community groups can include throws as part of a fundraiser, especially when a familiar teacher, coach or leader volunteers for the tank.
Who Can Sit in the Dunk Tank?
Guests can enjoy taking turns at the target, but the person sitting above the water must meet the safety requirements for the tank.
- Must know how to swim
- Must be at least 5 feet tall
- Must weigh 250 pounds or less
