A shrouded chamber pinata is disclosed having an inner chamber and a surrounding outer chamber or shroud. The inner chamber has an opening on one side, and one or a plurality of handles fixably attached to the chamber and extending outwardly from the opening of that chamber. A pull line, fixably attached at one point to a first ribbon, and fixably attached at a second point to a ring, passes through at least one face of the chamber, so that when the pull line is pulled with sufficient force the chamber will rupture. A support member is attached to the inner chamber to provide attachment points for the first ribbon and additional ribbons. A shroud having openings on opposite sides is positioned atop the containing chamber to shroud the containing chamber. One of the shroud openings is positioned on the same side as the inner chamber opening.
