The Benefits of Bonus Cup | Putt Mania Interactive Mini Golf

Share This Article

Bonus cups are one of the many unique and thrilling options available with our Putt Mania system. An additional, generally more challenging, scoring cup can be added to any or all of your mini golf holes on your course. The bonus cup offers a higher point value to players who sink their ball into it, but there are several other benefits to our bonus cup option as well. Let’s take a closer look.

Level the Playing Field

The bonus cup option provides a way for players who fall behind to catch up in the scoring and stay in the game. In traditional mini golf, if you have a bad few holes near the beginning of the game, it can be very difficult to catch up. This can take away from the competition and make it less exciting for the player lagging, especially if it happens early in an 18-hole round.

With the bonus cup’s increased point value, players have an opportunity to catch up in the scoring, keeping the game competitive and exciting for players throughout the entire round.

Fun for all Skill Levels

Varying cups with varying levels of difficulty helps to cater to a wider player demographic. If a family comes to play a round with varying-aged children or a seasoned group of friends is playing with a rookie, the multiple cups with varying difficulty levels, there is more opportunity to ensure that the course is not too hard or too easy for players.

More Game Variety

In addition to impacting the point values, bonus cups add more variety to your course, boosting replayability. Each cup can activate different sounds, lighting, and special effects. A group could play through the entire course without discovering all the surprise effects, creating more of a reason to come back for another game. Additionally, frequent mini golf players can focus on different cups each time they play to create an added challenge for themselves.

Our Putt Mania technology, including bonus cups, can be added to both new and existing indoor mini golf courses to augment gameplay and enhance the player experience. Up to three cups can be present on any given hole on your course, so you can add a bonus cup or two to a couple of holes around your course, or all of them.
