Hire
Branded arcade machine hire for events
Hire a big-screen arcade with your brand inside the games, a live leaderboard and guest sign-up, delivered, set up and collected by JM Entertainment. For exhibitions, launches, activations, conferences, parties and everything in between.
What is included in a hire
- Your branded arcade: seven original games with your logo, colours, messages and in-game pictures (what can be branded)
- The screen and controls: a big screen with arcade controls, an arcade cabinet or a touch-screen totem (formats)
- Live leaderboards: on the arcade and, if you like, on a second screen (leaderboards)
- Guest sign-up: QR code data capture with your fields and consent wording (data capture)
- Your online portal: scores and sign-ups as they happen, CSV download afterwards
- Delivery, set-up and collection, with changes made remotely if you need them on the day
What your quote depends on
Every event is different, so we quote for yours rather than publish a one-size price. The main things that change the cost are:
- How many days the arcade is live, and the opening hours
- The format: big screen, cabinet or totem, and whether you want a second screen
- How much custom artwork the branding needs
- The venue: its location, access, and the set-up and collection times
What we will ask you
To give you an accurate quote quickly, it helps to have:
- The venue name and full address, including the postcode
- The date(s) and the event’s start and finish times
- How many days the arcade is live
- Whether you would like your own branding on it
- Your preferred set-up and collection times

The games and leaderboards run on the arcade itself. If the hall Wi-Fi fails, play carries on and the scores upload when the connection is back.
Any screen
An 85-inch TV, a projector, an arcade cabinet or a touch-screen totem, in landscape or portrait.
Two players
Two people can play side by side on one screen, each with their own controls: instant head-to-heads.
Hire questions
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.
How quickly can the branding be done?
Quickly, because nothing is printed: the branding is set up in software. Send us your logo (PNG or SVG), brand colours and any product pictures, and we set it up and show you how it looks. Changes can be made right up to the event, even from our office while the arcade is on site.
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.
What screens and hardware does it run on?
A large TV (we use 85-inch screens), a projector, an arcade cabinet or a touch-screen totem. It works in landscape or portrait, with an arcade joystick and buttons, a gamepad or touch. Two players can play side by side on one screen.
Is it suitable for all ages?
Yes. The games are easy to pick up, games last a minute or two, and there is nothing unsuitable for families or a corporate audience.
