Custom branded arcade machine games
Seven original big-screen arcade games with your brand inside every one: your logo as the targets, your product on the blocks, your colours on every screen. Guests play, climb a live leaderboard and sign up on their phone.
See it in action
Your brand in the game, not just on the cabinet
Most branded arcade machines are a classic game in a wrapped cabinet: the vinyl changes, the game does not. Ours are built the other way round. The games themselves carry your brand, from the welcome screen to the last life: your logo, two brand colours, your font style, your backgrounds and promo slides, and your own pictures inside the games.
The showreel follows three made-up brands on the same arcade: an energy drink launch, a bank on an exhibition stand and a music festival. Then it shows a live leaderboard on a second screen, a guest signing up with their phone and a game played to the top of the board.
Example brands
One arcade, any brand
Each example below is the same arcade with different branding. Nothing is printed, so the look can change from one event to the next, or even during an event.

Every score on every screen
After each game the player types a name, or plays under the name they signed up with, and sees their rank straight away. The same leaderboard can run on any TV or display in the venue, so the competition is visible from across the hall, with a celebration every time someone takes the top spot.
- Today’s top 10 and the all-time top 25 for each game
- A separate leaderboard for each event, reset whenever you like
- Show names in full, as a first name and initial, or first names only
Data capture
Turn players into leads
A QR code sits on the welcome screen. Guests scan it with their own phone, fill in a short form you design, and the arcade greets them by name. No shared tablet, no queue at a form, no typing email addresses with a joystick.
- Choose the fields: name, email, phone, company, postcode and a question of your own
- Make each one off, optional or required, and write your own consent wording
- Download the list as CSV from your online portal

Questions
Custom branded arcade games: quick answers
What is a custom branded arcade machine?
It is a big-screen arcade with games made to look like your brand. Your logo, colours, font and backgrounds are on every screen, and your own pictures appear inside the games: your logo as the targets, your product on the blocks. Guests play, enter a name, and compete on a live leaderboard. If you want their details too, they can scan a QR code and sign up on their own phone.
What can you brand in the games?
The welcome screen, the game menu, the leaderboards and the games themselves. That means your logo, two brand colours and a text colour, one of four font styles, a background (colour, gradient, picture or video), your headline and prize message, a scrolling ticker and up to six promo slides. Inside the games we can put your pictures on the Alien Armada targets, the Sky Stack blocks and the Maze Raider characters, and use your backgrounds in Sky Stack, Neon Drop and Lava Peak.
How does the data capture work?
A QR code sits on the welcome screen. Guests scan it with their phone camera, fill in a short form and press play; the arcade then greets them by name and their score goes on the leaderboard under that name. You choose the fields (name, email, phone, company, postcode and a question of your own), whether each one is optional or required, and the wording of the consent tick box. Everything is listed in your online portal and downloads as a CSV file.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. The games, leaderboards and name entry all run on the arcade itself, so a poor venue connection never stops play. When it is online it also shows the QR sign-up code and sends scores and sign-ups to your portal; anything collected while offline is uploaded automatically when the connection comes back.
Do you deliver and set up the arcade?
Yes, when you hire it we deliver it, set it up, check everything is working and collect it afterwards. Tell us the venue, date and times when you enquire and we will confirm what is involved.
Can we buy it instead of hiring?
Yes. Venues and event companies can run the arcade on their own screens with a subscription: your own branding for each client or event, your own leaderboards and data, updates included, and everything managed from an online portal.
