The equipment advertised on our website is owned and operated by us directly; we don't subcontract hires to other suppliers. You'll deal directly with the company supplying your equipment, from your initial enquiry through to delivery, installation, handover and collection.
Reaction Speed Games
We have a selection of both one player and head to head two player Reaction Speed Games that always draw a crowd of curious visitors on to stands. Supplied complete with a magnetic leaderboard to keep track of the best scores these are perfect for competitions. Batak Lite is pictured above and the Catch-it Reaction Ring below.
Golf Putting Challenge
One of our really popular exhibition stand games is our electronic Fast Putt Challenge Golf Game where you have 90 seconds to make seven successful putts against the target holes. The game features a built in timer and is supplied with a magnetic leaderboard to keep track of the best times. There are only a handful of these in the UK and we own three of them so there's a good chance you will be the only stand with one at your exhibition.
Crack the Code Safe Cracker Game
Crack the Code Safe Cracker Game
Place an attractive prize inside the clear perspex safe and in return for their contact details offer visitors to your stand the chance to win that prize by guessing/cracking the combination lock code and opening the door. The rear of the safe can be branded as can the illuminated pedestal it sits upon. A simple guess the code game for your trade stand that people can't resist having an attempt at.
Grab a Grand and Ball-Nado Game Hire
Grab a Grand and Ball-Nado Game
This game is available in 'Grab a Grand' mode using paper money, vouchers, or tokens or in "Ball-Nado' mode using special foam balls. Branding is available on the front lower half of the game. A top 10 magnetic scoreboard is provided to keep track of scores and make things a bit more competitive.
Giant Buzz Wire Games - Choice of 5 Types
We have a great range of Buzzer Wire type games to test the steadiness of a visitor's hand. For the table top versions you can choose either a simple beep per touch model or our top of the range programmable model where you can set the difficulty level, number of lives allowed, time permitted to complete the game, and even the buzzer volume via a colour touchscreen control panel. Both these versions are plain gloss white in colour and can be branded with low tack branding if required.
For floor standing versions we have a 2.7m long model that's available in a choice of gloss white or grey metallic flake that again can be branded with low tack panels. We also have the standard 1.2m long centre panel buzz wire that takes a large 1.1 x 0.6m branded panel within the frame of the game and the new premium version of that features a built in time and penalty system that adds 5 second penalties each time the bar is touched.
All these buzz wire games are kept exclusively for exhibition stand use so are in immaculate condition.
Timers and leaderboards can be added as additional options.
Our floor standing buzz wire games - the 2.7m version is pictured above and the two 1.2m versions below.
The Vault
The Vault
Crack the Vault by stopping the orbiting white light in one of the red sectors. You need to pass through five rounds in just 30 seconds to win but each round gets tougher with the white light speeding up and the red sectors getting smaller and fewer in number. The game can be set in one of four different difficulty levels depending on how hard you want to make it for participants to win. If you’re looking to give away lots of small prizes set it to run at one fixed difficulty level and give away a prize to anyone completing that level. If you’d prefer to give away one or two larger prizes let people try to work their way through all levels and reward the person with the quickest completion time - not many make it through all levels!
Whack a Mole
A recent addition to our range is our eye catching Whack a Mole game - a modern digital take on the classic and favourite arcade game. This game is available in traditional mole theme or has the option of being branded or themed to your own design as pictured below.
Gold Bar Challenge
A new addition to our expo games range is our attention grabbing Gold Bar Challenge game. All you have to do is reach your hand through the hole and remove the gold bar to win. Sounds simple but the hole is only just bigger than a hand, and the gold bar has real weight to it. This combination makes the challenge surprisingly tricky - requiring patience, grip, and clever positioning to succeed
Electronic Giant Four in a Row
A brand new addition to our range of exhibition and conference engagement games is this highly eye-catching Electronic Giant Four in a Row.
A modern take on the classic game, this modern digital version is designed specifically to attract attention and encourage visitors to interact with your stand. Its impressive size and illuminated digital counters make it visible from across the exhibition hall, helping to draw people in and create a natural conversation starter for your team.
The counters of the game can be set to match your brand colours so it will fit in with your stand perfectly.
Roller Bowler
Roller Bowler is an irresistibly challenging game that looks deceptively simple and so never fails to draw a crowd. Onlookers are often convinced it’s easy until they give it a try themselves!
The aim of the game is to roll the ball up the track so it passes over the small hill, and have it settle perfectly in the dipped win zone. Sounds straightforward, but the trick lies in the strength of the roll - roll too softly and the ball won’t crest the hill, roll too hard and it will shoot past the dip, gather momentum on the way back, rolling all the way through the dip right back to where you started.
The game is 150cm long and 45cm wide so doesn’t take up a lot of space and doesn’t require power. Full or part branding is available as an add-on option.
Wheel of Fortune Prize Wheel
Our wheel of fortune style Prize Wheel Game is available in one of three 'off the shelf' neutral designs pictured above, which is ideal if you are looking to keep costs down, or it can be fully personalised with your own design or custom branding as shown in the example photo below. If hired in the neutral design you can allocate giveaway prizes to certain number, odds or evens, sectors of numbers, etc.
Race Simulators
We offer a choice of fastest lap Race Simulators for use on exhibition and conference stands that are supplied complete with a magnetic leaderboard to keep track of the fastest times.
Branded Pick and Mix Stands
A fully branded Pick and Mix Stand is sure to attract people to your exhibition stand or promotion. Also available with neutral artwork if preferred.
Giant Plinko
Our Giant Plinko Game is available with a choice of two neutral game faces as pictured above or why not choose one with your own custom branding like the one below that we supplied for a client's trade stand at a festival?
Basketball Challenge
Our smart looking chromed framed Basketball Challenge game is available in either two player or four player versions with automatic scoring to record the number of baskets scored in 30 seconds with the chance for players to add bonus time to that.
Coin Pusher Game
Our counter top Coin Pusher Game is pictured above - you can add keyrings and small giveaways to the game or add plastic star tokens that can be exchanged for larger giveaways if won. You decide how many fun money coins you give each person to play with. Illuminated with LED lighting this brand new attraction is guaranteed to draw visitors to your exhibition or conference stand. Both the game header and plinth have the option of being custom branded.
Pixel Play Retro Games
Our Pixel Play game provides the option of three different retro style games for your stand visitor to play - all are two player giving you the opportunity to chat to the visitor while playing against or alongside them. The games are Pixel Pieces, Pixel Python, and Pixel Paddles that are similar to Tetris, Snake, & Pong.
Giant Operation Type Games
The giant Body Bits game is a massive 7ft version of the giant operating type game we all played as kids that's a favourite for medical and pharmaceutical companies. Complete with buzzer and flashing red nose! This game is great for both casual use or organised competitions. If you don't have space for the 7ft version we have a smaller 4ft option also available.

Exhibition Stand Games FAQs
What are the best games for attracting visitors to an exhibition stand?
Games that are visually noticeable, quick to understand and enjoyable to watch tend to work particularly well. Reaction games like The Vault and Batak Lite, Whack a Mole, Giant Plinko, Fast Putt, Grab a Grand/Ball-nado and Buzz Wires can all create visible activity on a stand. The best choice depends on your available space, visitor numbers and whether your objective is to attract attention, collect leads or run a competition.
What exhibition games work on a small stand?
For stands where floor space is limited, consider compact attractions such as Crack the Code, The Vault, Gold Bar Challenge, tabletop Buzz Wire and Roller Bowler. Roller Bowler has a footprint of approximately 150cm x 45cm and doesn't require mains electricity. Our plinth-based Crack the Code is also compact, with a plinth footprint of approximately 60cm x 60cm.
Can your exhibition games be branded?
Yes. Branding is available for most games. We supply the artwork specification and templates where needed, arrange production and apply the branding. After the event we can remove it and store it safely for reuse on future hires if required.
Can we use the games to run a competition?
Yes. Many of our games are ideal for exhibition competitions. Reaction games, Fast Putt and race simulators can be supplied with leaderboards, while attractions such as The Vault, buzz wires, Crack the Code and prize wheels can be incorporated into prize or completion challenges.
What games are suitable for collecting leads?
Crack the Code works particularly well for lead generation: place a prize inside the transparent safe and invite visitors to provide their contact details before attempting to guess the combination. Prize wheels and other competition formats can also form part of a wider lead-generation campaign.
Do you hire exhibition games at Birmingham NEC?
Yes. We're based in the Midlands and supply exhibition games to Birmingham venues including the NEC and ICC - both venues are a short drive from our warehouse. Our current offering includes free delivery for exhibition game bookings to Birmingham NEC and ICC.
Do you cover exhibition venues outside Birmingham?
Yes. We cover the Midlands and regularly travel further afield to exhibition and conference venues including Manchester Central, ACC Liverpool, as well as other venues throughout the UK.
Do you deliver and set up the games?
Yes. On the installation day we'll arrive at the venue at the agreed time and install the game for you. We'll provide a full handover, written instructions and an emergency support number. At the end of the show we'll return to de-rig and remove the equipment.
How much does it cost to hire an exhibition stand game?
Hire prices vary according to the game, venue, hire duration, delivery and collection requirements, and any bespoke branding. Send us your venue, event dates and the games you're interested in and we'll provide an itemised quotation.
How does the hire process work?
We first provide a quote together with information such as space and power requirements. If accepted, we'll ask you to complete a booking form and pay a 20% deposit by BACS or card. If branding is required we'll request the artwork and arrange production. The balance is due seven days before delivery. We then install the equipment, provide a handover and return after the show to collect it.
