Genentech corporate leaders sent more than 220 executives to Yerba Buena Park in San Francisco for a festive day of Field Games with Venture Up The event included a Cornhole competition and two Human Foosball inflatable games.

Also known as the bean bag toss, Cornhole is an old fashioned carnival game where players toss bags filled with corn into a faraway hole cut into a wooden platform.

Human Foosball, a soccer game played inside an inflatable court. Players hook up to harnesses on horizontal steel poles, moving only sideways as they try to pass and score. Both games are top choices to include in large-scale Field Games events.
