TRAINING GUIDE
Play a unique twist on cornhole with NFL legend Rob Gronkowski! Score as many points as you can by sinking your bags, knocking Gronk’s bags off the board, and scoring combos. Your opponent will do the same, and the player with the most points wins.
HOW TO PLAY
OVERVIEW
The goal of the game is to throw bags at a cornhole board and maximize your score. Take turns throwing with Gronk, sink your bags, and knock Gronk’s bags off the board to earn more points than your opponent. Combos are the best way to max out your score, so set up your shots so you can score multiple ways with one throw.
AIMING
Start off by gauging Gronk’s next throw (the yellow arc) to help plan where you want to place your throw (the blue arc). Drag the blue aim target where you want your bag to land.
THROWING
Begin your throw by dragging down and holding the bag. Once you have your bag in the blue pull area, you can shape your throw.
Sliders: Sliders carry more power, slide farther, and hit other bags farther. Use them to bully Gronk’s bags off the board. To set up a slider, drag down slightly so your bag is at the top of the pull area. Then, pull to the right or left to choose the direction of your slider.
Drop bags: This type of throw lands on the board with little slide. They are good for setting up blockers and airmailing a bag directly into the hole. To throw a drop bag, drag your bag all the way to the bottom of the pull area. Then, pull left or right to choose the direction of your drop bag.
Cut shot: Cut shots will cut at an angle when they land on the board. They are good for curving around blocker bags on the board. Drag the bag down diagonally left or right to set up a cut shot. Swipe up and diagonally when you throw to add spin and make your cuts more effective.
TIMING YOUR THROWS
Once you’ve placed your aim target, it’s time to set your backspin. Use the slider on the right of the screen while in aim mode to give your ball the desired amount of spin. Before each stroke, the slider will default in the middle of the slider, giving your ball a standard spin. Note that landing in bad terrains, such as rough and dirt, will limit your ability to use backspin.
ADDING SPIN
Throwing with spin enhances your cut bags, helps stabilize the bag in flight, and can help move other bags on the board. Swipe up diagonally when you throw to add spin.
FLIP THE BAG
Bags have a sticky and smooth slide. Before you pull back to throw the bag, tap the bag to flip it. The sticky side slides less on the board, and the smooth side slides more. The smooth slide is also more effective at moving multiple bags that are clumped together.
CHOOSE YOUR PITCH POSITION
The pitch position slider moves you side to side, changing your throw angle. This can help you throw at tricky angles. You can change the pitch position in the aim view or throw view.
GAME END
You have 15 minutes to play and finish the game. The time remaining is visible in the pause menu. Any leftover time does not affect your score.
SCORING
Throw bags on the cornhole board or get them in the hole to score points. You can also knock Gronk’s bags off the board to earn points.
SCORING BREAKDOWN
• Cornhole – Getting your bag in the hole = 300
• Woody – Landing bag on the board = 100
• Bully – You knock Gronk’s bag off the board = 100
• Fed – Gronk knocks your bag in the hole = 100
• Bump – You push Gronk’s bag a set distance = 20
• Double Bagger – Get two of your bags in the hole in one throw = 100
• Triple Bagger – Get three of your bags in the hole in one throw = 300
• Quad Bagger – Get four of your bags in the hole in one throw = 500
• Unwoody – Your bag is knocked off the board = -100
• Gronkhole – Gronk throws a bag in the hole = -300
• Feed – You knock Gronk’s bag in the hole = -300
SCORING WITH COMBOS
Boost your score by stacking combos. Combos are achieved by getting multiple scoring events in a single throw. For example, if you knock two of your bags into the hole with one throw, you’ll earn combo points.
Every additional scoring event from a throw adds a 50% multiplier to the total score.
Imagine that one of your throws causes a cornhole (300) and a bully (100), for 400 points. Doing two things at once adds a 50% multiplier for a final value of 600 points.
Negative events (such as knocking your own bag off of the board) are not included in the multiplier.
Use your own bags and Gronk’s bags to get larger combos.
TIPS
• Place your bags near the hole and try to knock multiple bags in at once.
• Bully and bump Gronk's bags, and hole yours for a large combo score.
• Place blocker bags to keep Gronk from holing and knocking yours in.
• Use the smooth side of the bag and a slider throw to knock multiple bags on the board.
