FLINGSPORT Electronic Cornhole Board Set Review: 6 Modes Tested

The FLINGSPORT Electronic Cornhole Board Set tries to solve the biggest annoyance in backyard cornhole: keeping score. Instead of pen-and-paper tracking or arguing over who had what, this electronic cornhole board set handles everything automatically with built-in sensors, LED lights, and voice prompts.

I tested all six game modes across solo and team play, ran through the cancellation scoring system multiple times, and packed this cornhole game down and set it back up to see how it holds up as a portable yard game. The auto scoring worked consistently, and the remote paired on the first try every time.

At $59.99, the FLINGSPORT cornhole set targets families, tailgate hosts, and anyone who wants a bean bag toss game they can set up in seconds. Here is what I found after putting it through its paces.

What I Liked

Cancellation Scoring That Works

The automatic scoring and cancellation system is the standout feature of this electronic cornhole board set. Toss a bean bag onto the board and it registers one point. Land it in the hole and it detects three points. The system then applies cancellation scoring between teams, so if red scores six and blue scores five, the round ends 1-0 red with no math needed.

Voice prompts announce each score and call out misses in real time. I ran through dozens of rounds in team mode and the detection was accurate on every throw. The plus and minus buttons on the remote let you make quick manual corrections if a bag slides or bounces in an unusual way.

Six Game Modes for Every Skill Level

The FLINGSPORT electronic cornhole game offers two mode groups: solo and team. Each group includes three scoring options: 15-point, 21-point, and the challenging 21 exact mode. In 21 exact, going over 21 resets your score to 13 points, which adds a layer of strategy to every toss.

Switching modes takes two button presses on the remote. Hit the M button to cycle through options and press Enter to select. The board confirms your choice with a voice prompt, so there is no guessing which mode you selected.

LED Lights for Day or Night Play

The bright LED lights serve a functional purpose beyond looks. Red and blue LEDs indicate whose turn it is, removing any confusion during team games. The lights also flash when a score registers, giving instant visual feedback alongside the voice prompts.

For lawn parties and tailgate setups that run into the evening, the lights keep the cornhole game going well after sunset. I tested this outdoors at dusk and the LEDs were bright enough to see the board and track turns without any additional lighting.

Folds Down Into a Portable Cornhole Set

Packing this set takes about 30 seconds. The stands fold flat against the back, the removable leg doubles as a carry handle, and there are built-in storage compartments for the remote and all eight bean bags. At 7.36 pounds, it is light enough for one person to carry comfortably.

Setting it back up is just as quick. Snap the legs out, attach the stand, and press the power button. The whole process from car trunk to ready-to-play takes under a minute, making it a solid option for camping trips and outdoor events. If you want another portable yard game to rotate into your outdoor gatherings, the NQV Disc Golf Basket sets up quickly and includes everything a beginner needs to start playing.

Remote Control for Easy Operation

The included remote controller pairs with the board the moment you power both on. No sync codes, no Bluetooth pairing screens. The M button cycles through modes, Enter confirms your selection, and the plus/minus buttons handle score adjustments.

One practical detail: pressing the power button on the remote shuts off both the board and the remote simultaneously. Turning it on requires pressing power on each device separately, but that takes all of two seconds.

What Needs Improvement

Batteries Not Included

The FLINGSPORT electronic cornhole set requires three AA batteries for the board and two AAA batteries for the remote. Neither set is included in the box. The battery compartment on the board also requires a screwdriver to open, which adds a step before your first game.

If you are heading to a tailgate or camping trip, forgetting batteries means the electronic scoring is useless. Keeping a spare set in the carrying compartment would solve this, but it is an extra thing to remember.

Smaller Than Regulation Cornhole Boards

At 15.2 by 12.6 inches, this board is significantly smaller than the standard 2-by-4-foot regulation cornhole boards used in tournaments and leagues. The compact size is intentional for portability, but experienced players will notice the difference immediately.

This is a recreational cornhole game, not a practice tool for competitive play. If you are looking for boards that meet American Cornhole League specs, this is not the right set.

Plastic Build Limits Durability

The board is made entirely of plastic rather than the plywood or MDF construction found in traditional cornhole boards. Plastic keeps the weight down to 7.36 pounds, which helps portability, but it raises questions about long-term durability with repeated outdoor use.

Impact from bean bags over hundreds of games may wear down the sensors or surface faster than a wood board. The electronic components add another potential failure point that standard boards do not have.

How It Compares

The electronic cornhole board set market has grown, and the FLINGSPORT sits in the budget-friendly tier with a few key trade-offs against competitors.

The VATOS Portable Cornhole Board Set takes a similar approach with sensor-activated LED rings and adds cheering sound effects when a bag drops through the hole. It targets a comparable price point and also folds for transport, making it the closest direct competitor for families who want electronic scoring without spending hundreds.

The Tailgating Pros Pyramid Cornhole Board Set steps up to wood construction with multicolored LEDs recessed into all four edges. The build quality is noticeably higher, but so is the price. For players who want LED ambiance and sturdier boards for regular use, the Tailgating Pros set justifies the premium.

At the high end, the CornholeAce Red Zone with Pro Light Kit runs $479.99 and includes Bluetooth app control for up to 10 boards simultaneously. That is a tournament-level investment that makes sense for bar owners or league organizers, not casual backyard players.

The Hathaway Atlantic LED Cornhole Board Set at roughly $81 offers two boards with built-in lights and a 4.6-star rating. It skips the electronic scoring but delivers a more traditional cornhole experience with LED visibility. For players who prefer keeping score themselves and want two full boards, the Hathaway is worth considering.

The FLINGSPORT’s advantage is its all-in-one electronic scoring at $59.99. No other set in this price range offers six game modes with automatic cancellation scoring and a remote controller.

Final Verdict

The FLINGSPORT Electronic Cornhole Board Set earns a 4.0 out of 5 rating. The automatic cancellation scoring system works accurately, the six game modes offer genuine variety, and the fold-up portability is well executed for a $59.99 cornhole game.

The trade-offs are clear: plastic construction instead of wood, a single board instead of a pair, and a travel size that will not satisfy competitive players. For families, party hosts, and anyone who wants to eliminate scorekeeping arguments during backyard games, this electronic cornhole set delivers on its core promise. The 21 exact mode alone adds enough strategy to keep experienced players engaged.

If automatic scoring and LED-lit night play matter more to you than regulation-size boards, this is a smart buy at its price point.
