We live on a cul-de-sac and are thinking about bringing it on vacation. Can we play on asphalt? What about the beach?

The Cosmic Can is designed to be kicked hundreds of times and land on all sorts of surfaces. For extending its life, the best playing surface is grass – but it can be played elsewhere and the beach especially dynamic!

How big of a space do you need to play?

So long as there’s room to run and nothing will be damaged when the can is kicked, you can play just about anywhere, from backyards to gyms to campgrounds

Can we play during the day or just at night?

The mechanics of the game remain the same regardless of time of day. One common use is to start while it’s light out and then keep playing into the evening when the Cosmic Can really shines

How hard is it to replace the batteries?

The can includes 3 LR44 batteries (which are fairly common “coin” batteries). For child safety reason, a small screwdriver is required to remove them. You can see how easy they are to remove in the video above

Can the game be adapted for a smaller number of players or played in teams?

For “kick the can,” 4+ players are optimal. For smaller groups, try using the spaceship for games like “keep away” or hacky sack. Playing in teams is great, though we recommend three teams in order to keep the I.T. players outnumbered."
