It’s a Knockout
Let the games begin!
Get ready for a fun-filled evening as Rainbows supporters from across the East Midlands come together to take on six exciting, fast-paced, laugh-out-loud challenges packed with inflatables, foam and water.
What is It’s A Knockout?
It’s A Knockout was a popular TV game show known for its high-energy, and silly laugh-out-loud challenges. Teams competed against each other in a series of light-hearted physical games featuring oversized inflatables, slippery surfaces, silly costumes and plenty of chaos.
Our competition brings that same fun-filled spirit to life, with modern, safe and exciting challenges designed to test teamwork, speed and coordination — all while having as much fun as possible!
