Faceball (tagline: "Your face, Our balls") is a two-player game where each player takes an inflated beach ball and throws it at the opponent's head. It was popularized in March 2007 by John Allspaw and Dunstan Orchard while they were working at the San Francisco, California offices of Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo!.[1][2][3]
[edit] Rules
Opponents sit 10 feet apart, and one player throws balls at the other (who sits still and does not flinch) until the thrower misses, at which point the other player gets their turn.[4][5] A game consists of such rounds, where the final score is the number of successful hits scored by a player on their opponent.[1]
