high striker

Strength-testing fairground attraction

A high striker is a carnival game where players swing a mallet to launch a puck up a tower, trying to ring a bell at the top.

The higher the puck rises, the stronger the swing.

Also called a strongman game or strength tester, it remains a staple of fairs and amusement parks: He won a stuffed animal at the high striker.
