Faceball

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!.cite web|url=http://faceball.org/press/|title=Press Information|publisher=Faceball|accessdate=2007-10-10] [cite news|first=Allen|last=Martin|url=http://cbs5.com/local/local_story_230024319.html|title='Faceball' Craze Hitting Cubicles Around The Globe|publisher=KPIX-TV|date=2007-08-17|accessdate=2007-10-10] [cite news|url=http://yodel.yahoo.com/2007/08/13/this-is-faceball/|title=This is Faceball|work=Yodel Anecdotal|date=2007-08-13|accessdate=2007-10-10]
