 But Do Zartz Really Stick? Watch Us Try It Here.
Finally, a Portable, Active Game for the Wild and Restless
Squirmy boys? Fidgety husbands? Restless dads? The female segment of a family reunion craves nothing more than sparkling conversation, a comfortable chair, and a bit of shade. But if you don't have activities for your hunters and gatherers, you may not be pleased with what their foraging minds come up with. Zartz, the 9-inch urban dart, to the rescue!
Sticks to Everything from Aquariums to Walls
You can play Zartz anywhere there is a smooth surface. The soft suction-cup tip is made of durable SOFTECH. This tough foam allows Zartz to safely stick to just about any even surface. Windows, metal signs, walls, tile--the smoother the better. And because of its self-releasing suction cup, you never have to get out the ladder to retrieve the Zartz stuck on a second floor window.
Pick a Target, Then Compete
Set up a target on any flat surface and let the Zartz fly. Our employees and the UPS man used his truck as a target and it worked fabulously. With a bit of practice, a 9" Zartz can be launched as far as one hundred feet. Throw it or flick it, close or long range. You can even place your target flat on the ground for the classic game of high arc outdoor darts, but with none of the hazards associated with lawn darts.
One Warning
Zartz will provide your family with endless hours of outdoor fun, but we do have one caveat, let the Zartz do what it is especially designed to do, stick and release. During the lively game with the UPS driver and our staff, one over-zealous participant yanked the Zartz off the side of the UPS truck resulting in a partial separation of the SOFTECH suction cup from the shaft. Unfortunately, play continued until the white cup was completely severed. Thankfully, a touch of superglue solved that problem without any loss of performance, but it could have been avoided altogether with a couple seconds of patience! (See the video for additional tips.)
Each Zartz comes packaged in a sturdy pack'n'play carry case. Ages 6+. |
