The Original CONE TOSS: An Award-Winning Lawn Game Designed for More Outdoor Fun
We're excited to announce that The Original Cone Toss is officially available.
Created by Vango Toys, Cone Toss is a fresh take on outdoor lawn games that combines simple gameplay with just enough strategy to keep every round exciting. Whether you're spending the afternoon in the backyard, heading to the beach, camping with friends, or hosting a family barbecue, Cone Toss is designed to get everyone up, moving, and having fun together.
Even before its official launch, Cone Toss earned recognition from two respected organizations in the toy industry, receiving both a PAL Award and a NAPPA Award for its engaging gameplay and family appeal.
A New Twist on Classic Lawn Games
Many outdoor games are easy to learn but can become repetitive after a few rounds. Cone Toss introduces a simple scoring mechanic that keeps every throw meaningful.
Players toss colorful cones toward the scoring net, but there's a twist. If your cone lands on top of an opponent's cone, you steal their points. That means no lead is ever completely safe, and every round can quickly turn around with one well-placed throw.
The rules are easy to understand in just a few minutes, making Cone Toss approachable for first-time players while still offering enough strategy for friendly competition.
Built for Families, Friends, and Outdoor Adventures
Cone Toss was designed to be the kind of game you can bring anywhere.
Its lightweight, portable design makes it easy to pack for:
Backyard gatherings
Family game nights outside
Camping trips
Beach days
Tailgates
Parks and picnics
Vacations
Because setup is quick and gameplay moves fast, it's easy to fit in a few rounds whether you have ten minutes or an entire afternoon.
An Award-Winning Outdoor Game
Before reaching families across the country, Cone Toss was recognized with both a PAL Award and a NAPPA Award.
These awards celebrate toys and games that encourage meaningful play experiences, helping parents discover products that are fun, engaging, and well-designed.
Receiving this recognition before launch reinforced what inspired us throughout development: creating an outdoor game that's simple to learn, exciting to play, and easy for nearly anyone to enjoy.
Supporting Screen-Free Play
At Vango Toys, we believe some of the best memories happen when people put their phones away and spend time together.
Cone Toss was created to encourage exactly that. Whether you're challenging neighbors, playing with grandparents, or introducing kids to a new backyard favorite, the goal is simple—get outside, stay active, and enjoy time together.
It's also one of the reasons we launched the Anti-Couch Coalition, our initiative encouraging families to spend more time playing together outdoors.
Where to Play
Cone Toss works almost anywhere with a little open space. Set it up in the backyard after dinner, bring it to the beach, take it camping, or challenge friends at your next barbecue.
No complicated setup. No confusing rules. Just quick, competitive fun that's easy to learn and difficult to put down.
We're excited to finally share Cone Toss with families everywhere and can't wait to see where you play it.
