The days of boring bathroom trips are over.
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs in Allentown, Penn., have installed a brand spanking new product in their stadium’s men’s restrooms — urinal video games.
“These games are sure to make a huge splash,” quipped Kurt Landes, the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies’ minor league affiliate. He has labeled the new consoles “The X-Stream Games.”
The screen on each of the four systems installed in the ballpark automatically senses when a man walks up to the urinal, according to Philly.com. The gaming systems used patented technology to interpret elements of the stream and tests agility and knowledge.
While it’s a little unclear how one racks up the most points, after a man is finished, he may enter a code in order to see his rank on the leader board. Various boards throughout the park will display top players’ names throughout the night.
If they fail to make it onto the leaderboard, then they can always visit the game’s website to see how they measure up against the competition.
The X-Streams aren’t all fun and games, however. The video game systems — which cost $4,000 per urinal — are presented by the Lehigh Valley Health Network and provide public service announcements about prostate health and getting screened for that type of cancer.
“We think it’s a great combination of fan entertainment and interaction,” Landes said. “There is also a great educational component to it.”
Sorry, ladies. This is a men’s only game.
