Hardware
Big screens, cabinets and touch-screen totems
The same branded games run on whatever suits your space: a giant TV for a stand, an arcade cabinet for a bar, or a slim touch-screen totem for a shopping centre walkway.
Big screen
An 85-inch TV (or any large screen or projector) driven by a small Windows PC, with arcade joystick and buttons or gamepads. The biggest impact for stands and stages, and the best for spectators.
Arcade cabinet
The classic upright arcade, with the games and your branding on its screen. At home in bars, games rooms, receptions and staff areas.
Touch-screen totem
A portrait Android totem: every game has touch controls and a portrait layout. Small footprint, no extra controls, ideal for retail and busy walkways.
Portrait or landscape
Every screen of the arcade, including all seven games, has a landscape and a portrait layout, so a totem looks designed for the job rather than squeezed.
Controls
Arcade joystick and buttons, standard gamepads, a keyboard, or touch. Beat Smash is at its best with four giant buttons or a dance pad. Two players can play side by side on one screen.
What you need on site
- Space for the screen and a short queue in front of it
- A standard mains power socket
- An internet connection only if you want QR sign-up and live updates to your portal: venue Wi-Fi, a wired connection or a 4G/5G router all work
- For a second-screen leaderboard: another TV or display on the same network
Works offline
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.
Hardware questions
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.
Can two people play at once?
Yes. Two players can play side by side on the same screen, each with their own controls, and the higher score goes on the leaderboard.
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.
