Few party games generate the kind of crowd energy a dunk tank does. There is something about the combination of skill, suspense, and a good soaking that makes everyone stop what they are doing and pay attention. The Dunk Tank Blue is the same proven format that has worked at backyard cookouts, school carnivals, and company picnics for generations, delivered and set up by dunk tank rentals from Jump Around Party Rentals.
The game is simple: a participant sits on the dunk seat, guests take turns throwing balls at the target, and a solid hit sends your volunteer straight into 500 gallons of water. That is the whole recipe, and it never gets old. The Dunk Tank Blue works for virtually any outdoor gathering where you have access to a garden hose and a good sport willing to take the plunge.
Jump Around Party Rentals handles delivery, full setup, and pickup on every rental. You do not touch a tool or lift a finger. For Saturday events, note in your order whether Friday delivery works for you. We will often deliver the day before at no extra charge, giving you more party time and less morning scramble.

Why the Dunk Tank Blue Delivers Every Time
A Party Moment No One Forgets
Ask anyone who has been to an event with a dunk tank and they will tell you exactly who got dunked and how many throws it took. That kind of memory does not come from a photo booth or a balloon arch. The Dunk Tank Blue creates genuine suspense for a crowd. Everyone wants a turn, everyone is cheering, and the person in the seat is usually grinning through the anticipation. That interactive energy is what makes this game worth adding to almost any outdoor event.
No Electricity Needed
The Dunk Tank Blue runs entirely on water and gravity. You do not need a power outlet, an extension cord, or a generator. If you have a standard garden hose and enough water pressure to fill the tank, you are ready to go. That makes it one of the most flexible pieces of party equipment we offer. Park access, schoolyard carnivals, and remote backyard events are all fair game. If you are pairing the dunk tank with a water slide or bounce house and need power for those, check out our amusement ride rental options for equipment that complements it perfectly.
Cleaned Between Every Rental
Jump Around Party Rentals cleans and sanitizes every piece of equipment between each rental. That standard applies to every dunk tank in our inventory. No shortcuts. Families and event organizers can count on receiving equipment that is in proper working order and genuinely clean, not just visually presentable.
Fully Insured for Your Event
Jump Around Party Rentals carries liability insurance covering all event equipment, including dunk tanks, inflatables, and interactive games. Texas maintains oversight of commercial event equipment operators through the Texas Department of Insurance, and we operate in full compliance with state requirements. If a school, corporate client, or venue asks for proof of insurance before your event date, we can provide documentation at booking.
Events Where the Dunk Tank Blue Fits Right In
Birthday Parties
Put your child's teacher, coach, or birthday guest of honor on the seat and let the kids take their best shot. Instant highlight of the day.
School Carnivals
A traditional carnival staple that students wait in line for every year. The chance to dunk a principal or favorite teacher is the event within the event.
Company Picnics
A dunk tank equalizes a crowd in a fun way. Department heads and managers in the seat make for the best team-building moments of the year.
Church Festivals & Fundraisers
Charge per throw to raise money for your cause. A dunk tank fundraiser draws a crowd, keeps people engaged, and consistently outperforms carnival game booths.
Block Parties & Community Events
Neighbors, local leaders, and community volunteers in the hot seat make a block party feel like a real celebration. Adults and kids both come back for another turn.
Summer Cookouts & Backyard Parties
Austin summers are made for this game. Set it up next to the grill, fill it with a hose, and keep the crowd entertained from the first flip to the last splash.

A vibrant green dunk tank that holds 500 gallons and fits in the same footprint as the Blue. Great for school events, church festivals, and backyard cookouts.

The classic tall-frame model standing 8 feet high, designed for larger events with a monitor. Features a transparent tank panel so crowds can watch the suspense build before every throw.
A dunk tank rental works by placing a volunteer in a seat above a water-filled tank. Guests throw balls at a small target, and a direct hit releases the seat and drops the person into the water. Jump Around Party Rentals delivers, sets up, and picks up the Dunk Tank Blue as part of every rental. You supply the hose access and the brave volunteer.
How much water does the Dunk Tank Blue hold?
The Dunk Tank Blue holds 500 gallons of water. You fill it using a standard garden hose connected to your outdoor water supply. No pump or special equipment is needed. Fill time depends on your water pressure, but most standard hoses will have the tank ready within a reasonable window before guests arrive.
Do I need to supply the water for the dunk tank rental?
Yes, you need access to a garden hose and standard water supply at your venue. Jump Around Party Rentals delivers and sets up the Dunk Tank Blue, but water fill is handled by the renter using your outdoor tap. If you are hosting at a park or location without direct hose access, confirm water access before booking.
What types of events are dunk tanks good for?
Dunk tanks work best at outdoor events where you have a crowd and a willing volunteer. Birthday parties, school carnivals, company picnics, church festivals, block parties, and summer fundraisers are all strong fits. The Dunk Tank Blue from Jump Around Party Rentals draws consistent line activity from kids and adults alike throughout the event.
How much space do I need to set up the Dunk Tank Blue?
The Dunk Tank Blue requires a setup area of 10 feet wide by 8 feet long and stands 4 feet tall. That footprint fits comfortably in most standard backyards, park spaces, and parking lots. Allow additional clear space in front of the tank for the throwing line so guests have room to wind up and aim.
What is the difference between the Dunk Tank Blue and the All American Dunk Tank?
The Dunk Tank Blue is a compact model measuring 10 feet wide and 8 feet long at 4 feet tall, ideal for backyard parties and tighter spaces. The All American Dunk Tank stands 8 feet tall on a narrower footprint and is built for larger events with adult monitor supervision. Both hold 500 gallons. Jump Around Party Rentals can help you choose the right model at booking.
