SWING!
SHARE THE FUN!
To Fairs, Events, and Public Spaces, everywhere.
The
Orbiter-Ball Brand Story began on a sailing trip through
the Caribbean to Antigua. The games were developed in Boston's public
spaces,
particularly Faneuil Hall. The Interactive Public Art Display
Orbiter-Ball was
launched through Farmers Markets and Family-Friendly Breweries on Cape
Cod.
Orbiter-Ball, the orbiting ball toss game, is a captivating
combination of darts, horseshoes, and ring toss rolled into one. Players swing
the ball into the cup or insert an egg-shaped target into the cup and
Knock-It-Off. It consists of a post, a cup, and a ball attached to a second
post. The way players hold the ball in their fingers feels like darts;
targeting the post feels like horseshoes, and the swing into the cup feels like
a ring toss.
Orbiter Rings, the orbiting ring toss game, is an
entertaining pendulum toy and brainteaser, showcasing a player’s eye-to-hand
coordination skills. The object is to set the ring in motion, from one taller,
uniquely angled post to ring the second shorter, conversely angled post.
Players are challenged to learn six different orbiter swings, each with
increasingly difficult swing paths. You can confidently perform the swings once
you understand how and why the ring moves through space.
Fun fact. The creation of the Orbiter has been characterized
as an artistic pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty, coupled with a desire to
craft something that would appeal to, challenge, and entertain a worldwide
audience. It was envisioned as an artistic, sculptural symbol of peace because,
as the Orbiting Ring Toss game took shape, the configuration of the Orbiter’s
posts reminded its creator of the Peace Sign that had become so popular when he
was growing up. So, he thought of the phrase, “Every time an Orbiter swings, a
wish for Peace takes wing.”
One way of phrasing the wish for peace is, “We want to be free of
injustice, we want to escape suffering, and we want a better world.” We want to
see the Truth.” (as phrased in
“The Story of God with Morgan
Freeman”).

can't explain perfection, but know it when they see it.
The moons orbit around the earth and the Orbiter's
swing paths around the posts are examples of perfection and poetry in
motion. They are complicated, baffling, and confusing- until they
aren't.
