Bringing Senior Rec Night to Life for the Class of 2024 at Rowland Heights High School (2023)

When Rowland Heights High School in Los Angeles County plans their annual Senior Rec Night, they know they can count on us to bring the energy year after year. As a long-term, trusted partner for local schools, we handle everything in-house—from planning to execution—using 100% of our own interactive game inventory. By eliminating third-party vendors, we are able to consistently maximize their budget, deliver an unforgettable experience for the graduating class, and let the school staff actually sit back and enjoy the memories they helped create.

When you have a gym packed with energetic seniors, you need entertainment that keeps them moving while keeping everything safe and controlled. For Rowland High School’s Senior Rec Night, we designed a custom layout right inside their gymnasium so students could easily jump between high-energy challenges and casual spaces where they could just hang out and laugh with friends.

Because we own, maintain, and deliver 100% of our own equipment, we were able to transform the space into a complete interactive arena using these crowd favorites:

Seamless Planning, Maximum Fun: Designing a Socially-Dynamic Gym Experience

• ​​Ninja Rush Obstacle Course
• Extreme Sports Arena
• Interactive Challenge
• Double Bay Slide
• Bungee Run Dragster
• Cornhole
• Giant Connect Four
• Spike Ball

Head-to-Head Competition: The Bungee Run Dragster

Nothing brings out the competitive spirit of a high school senior class quite like the Bungee Run Dragster. We set up this massive drag-race-themed inflatable right along the gym wall, giving students a chance to strap into a harness, sprint down the lane, and try to place their marker before the tension pulls them flying back.

It quickly became one of the main attractions of the night, drawing crowds of students who lined up to race their friends, cheer each other on, and watch the inevitable, hilarious snapback at the finish line.

Double the Lanes, Double the Speed

If you want to see a gym full of high school seniors immediately turn back into ten-year-olds, you bring out a massive, two-story double bay inflatable slide. Towering all the way up toward the gymnasium rafters, it became an instant focal point for Senior Rec Night.
​
Because it featured side-by-side racing lanes, it didn't take long for the casual sliding to turn into a full-blown speed competition. Students lined up all night to climb the center wall, race their friends down the steep yellow drops, and see who could get the most airtime before crashing into the padded wall at the bottom. It provided the perfect mix of high-energy action and effortless fun that kept the gym floor buzzing.

The Ninja Rush Dominating the Gym Floor

The Ninja Rush Obstacle Course was a massive hit inside the Rowland Heights High School gymnasium. The challenging design brought the seniors together for some friendly, head-to-head competition right on the basketball court.
​
Watching students tackle the hurdles, scramble up the towering center climb, and fly down the dual exit slides ended up being one of the biggest highlights of the entire night. It gave everyone a chance to jump in, challenge their friends, and create some great memories together during the festivities.

Slam Dunking Senior Rec Night: The Extreme Sports Arena

The Extreme Sports Arena ended up being the perfect centerpiece for the gym floor because it let us run multiple games at the same time. Instead of just having one basketball hoop or a single game going, this massive inflatable layout acted like a full-scale sports hub right inside the Rowland Heights High gym.

Inside the walls, the seniors were jumping between jousting matches, playing regular pickup basketball games on the inflatable surface, and setting up quick dodgeball and soccer matches. Because the arena is so large, it gave a huge group of students a place to hang out, compete, and just goof around together, making it one of the most popular spots on the court all evening.

60 Seconds of Chaos: The Interactive Challenge Arena

The Interactive Challenge brought a fast-paced, arcade-style energy to the celebration. Participants step inside the open inflatable ring for an intense 60-second round that serves as a dynamic test of skill and speed.
The goal is simple but exhausting: scramble around the perimeter to strike the light-up buttons, which are each built with 10 LED lights. Because the sequence changes constantly, the unpredictability creates a true test of agility and quick thinking as players dive and weave to hit the targets the second they flash. It naturally sparked some incredible friendly competition among the seniors, offering a fast, competitive experience that matched the spirit of the graduation celebration perfectly.

Balancing the Room With Class Yard Games

Integrating classic games like Cornhole, Giant Connect Four, and Spikeball across the open areas of the gym floor is a highly intentional layout decision. While giant inflatables draw massive immediate crowds, these interactive game stations provide an essential secondary layer to the venue's overall flow, ensuring there is zero dead time for the students.

Cornhole sets up a relaxed, casual station on the hardwood, giving the class of 2024 a place to hang out and chat between major activities while still keeping a friendly competitive element alive.

Right nearby, Giant Connect Four serves as a distinct visual anchor. The oversized design naturally draws smaller groups together for quick, strategic matchups, making it an easy focal point where students can easily pause, watch a game finish, and cheer on their peers.
​
For the groups looking for continuous, fast-paced movement, Spikeball fills the gaps perfectly. It requires minimal footprint but delivers high engagement, keeping groups of graduates actively playing and coordinating together right on the court. By scattering these varied activities throughout the space, the layout now accommodates every pace of the evening—giving the graduates total freedom to shift seamlessly between intense competition and casual socializing.
