BACKGROUND

Cornhole is a traditional outdoor game popular in North America, originating from the United States and particularly popular in family gatherings, barbecue parties, camping, and other occasions. Its history can be traced back to the 19th century, initially made of simple wooden platforms and cloth bags filled with grains. Over time, it evolved into a standardized competition and leisure activity. This game includes that the core equipment of the Cornhole game includes two tilted boards and several cloth bags containing dry corn or beans. The board surface is usually raised on one side and placed on the ground on the other side. There is a small hole in the upper part of the board, and the game goal is to throw the sandbag into this hole. Audience and cultural influence: this Cornhole games are suitable for people of all ages to participate in, with simple and easy to understand rules and low physical requirements. Therefore, it has become an activity that can be enjoyed by people from children to the elderly, and it symbolizes interaction and communication between family and friends. It has characteristic of easy to carry and easy to install and it became a common entertainment item in outdoor gatherings, music festivals, and other occasions. As originated from the spread of the internet, it has gradually become popular around the world.

The filling material for sandbags has also been changed from dry corn to polyester granules or sand, thereby enhancing the durability of use. Many companies have also launched custom designed sandbags to meet consumers’ personalized needs and increase the appeal of this game. In a summary, this Cornhole game is not only a fun and relaxing outdoor activity, but also carry rich cultural connotations.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application in combination with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to FIG.s 1-5 of the present application, a rotatable cornhole includes a frame 1, a panel 3, a rotatable panel 2, and a rotatable component 4. The panel 3 is provided on the frame 1 and provided with a rotatable panel installation hole 31. The rotatable panel 2 is located within the rotatable panel installation hole 31 and provided with a throwing port 21. The rotatable component 4 is provided on the frame 1 and connected to the rotatable panel 2. The rotatable component 4 drives the rotatable panel 2 to rotate within the rotatable panel installation hole 31. The rotatable component 4 drives the rotatable panel 2 to rotate at a constant speed. The throwing port 21 is rotated along with the rotatable panel 2, thereby increasing a difficulty of throwing. Besides that, a position of the throwing port 21 is not fixed, which can increase the fun of the cornhole.
