Hogan’s Alley Podcast are spearheading a campaign to make August 20th the official International Crokinole Day.
20/08 or 08/20 – however you write it, it’s a perfect date for a perfect game. And we need you to help make it unforgettable.
Imagine this: crokinole boards in unexpected places, laughter echoing over BBQs, a few cold beers, good friends, and great flicks. We want the world to pause – just for a moment – to enjoy the beauty of the round wooden board.
It’s not about competition, it’s about connection. The spirit of camaraderie. The joy of introducing someone to something new. Let’s turn this humble Canadian classic into a global celebration.
Here’s how you can get involved:
🥇 Introduce someone to The Greatest Game on Earth™️
🎯 Host a Crokinole night – get your mates together for an evening flick
🏖️ Take your board to the beach – sand, sun, and 20s
⛵ Got a boat? Play Crokinole on a lake (because why not?)
🍻 Bring your board to the pub – and convert a few locals
🍕 Order a pizza, get the family round – board games never tasted so good
📣 Most importantly: SPREAD THE WORD – Publicise, play and post! Either online, in person, from the rooftops if you must!
This is your call to action:
“ONE WORLD. ONE LOVE. ONE OPEN 20 (at a time).”
Whether it’s your first flick or your thousandth, make August 20th count.
Take photos. Film videos. Send us your voice notes – we’d love to feature your stories on the podcast.
Feel free to use the International Crokinole Day Logo and banner as you need!

Let’s put aside our differences and come together for a day of joy, connection, and circular strategy.
Because a better future might just be… Crokinole.
