Everyone loves it! 25″ tall Giant Chess has powerful spectator appeal! Playing giant chess in the park... the most fun lawn chess gameGiant chess magically draws people into the timeless game of chess! It’s hard to contain the excitement of kids, teenagers, adults, and even seniors! That’s why you should think about incorporating an oversize chess set in your facility - from amusement parks and zoos, to museums or resorts. The possibilities are endless!

As they navigate the theme park, attendees enthusiastically rush over to the giant chess game and join as spectators. After patiently waiting their turn, the next two lucky players eagerly yet cautiously display their mental prowess in front of the admiring crowd that gathers.

Park administrators and amusement operators know how this timeless, universal chess game draws incredible attention and stickiness. “It’s an often overlooked great way to bring instant appeal and variety to the amusement park or facility. You can quickly turn any lifeless piece of lawn or concrete into an immediate attention grabber.”

“Let’s lay a chessboard with 64 squares… who knows, some day it might come in handy!” If you’ve ever thought this, you’re on the right track. Giant Chess will bring instant life to your 64 chessboard squares.

Standing an amazing 25″ tall, the giant lawn chess pieces are light enough to move easily, yet massive enough to resist winds. German engineering and production lends to their worldwide name of Rolly Toys quality - and they truly live up this name.

Traditional design is familiar to all chess players and stark black and white promotes visibility. Best of all, with its all weather, tough plastic polyurethane composition, you won’t have to worry about heat, rain, direct sunlight or even the most aggressive kids… Giant chess stands up to them all!

Giant Chess Set in Thailand


Our giant chess set is currently in Bangkok Thailand, where it has pride of place in our memorial garden that was constructed to commemorate the students of our school that died in the Asian Tsunami. One of the children really liked chess so we thought that this would be a fitting tribute to him.


We use our giant set for school fun days, for rainy day recess and for chess club events. We are a k-6 elementary school. It’s a big hit with all the kids and with parents too.


Our recent purchase of your giant chess set is being enjoyed on an almost daily basis. In the past we had one that we had made ourselves using various plastic pipes and fittings, but once we made the decision to have our board moved to another part of our yard and upgraded a bit, I decided it was also time to have “real” pieces. I’ve attached two photos of the board in its new location which is in a lower portion of our backyard. The board was made with simple 12 x 12 pavers, set into sand and bordered by concrete curbing. We love it! I’ve mentioned it on several homeschooling Internet lists and have already had two families come over to see it. I let them know where to buy their pieces when the time comes! The Chess House, of course!

Here’s some photos of the installation at eBay headquarters. Your chess set was used in one chess themed conference room. The project utilized items bought from eBay to furnish these rooms. All were very excited at how well it turned out!
Thanks,
