Exhibition Stand Games Hire – Manchester EventCity FAQs
1. Do you deliver and install exhibition games directly at Manchester EventCity?
Yes. We deliver, install and collect our games directly to and from your stand at Manchester EventCity. Our team handles access, loading bay coordination and setup timing to ensure your equipment is ready before the event opens.
2. How much space do the games require on an EventCity exhibition stand?
Most of our popular games — such as Batak, Strike-a-Light, basketball machines and retro arcades — fit comfortably on small or medium stands. Larger games or multi-game setups are suitable for open stands or island builds. Share your layout, and we’ll match games to your space.
3. Which games attract the most visitors at EventCity?
Batak, Strike-a-Light, basketball machines and claw machines consistently deliver the strongest footfall. These games create visual energy, movement and competition, making them ideal for high-traffic EventCity exhibitions.
4. Can the games be branded with our company colours and logo?
Yes. Many of our games can be customised with full vinyl wraps, branded panels, logo graphics, branded score sheets and custom leaderboards. Branding helps integrate your game into your overall stand design.
5. Do the games need electricity?
Most games require a standard 13-amp plug socket. EventCity stands usually come with power as standard, but if your stand has limited access, we can suggest low-power or power-free options.
6. Are the games simple for visitors to use?
Yes. All games are designed for quick, intuitive play. Visitors can start immediately without instructions, which is ideal for fast-moving exhibition environments.
7. Can we run competitions or giveaways with the games?
Absolutely. Competitions are a great way to increase engagement and encourage lead capture. You can run highest-score contests, daily leaderboards, QR-entry giveaways, badge-scan challenges or social media competitions.
8. How long does setup and removal take at EventCity?
Most games take 10–20 minutes to set up once they reach your stand. Removal is just as fast. We coordinate timings with EventCity’s build and breakdown slots to avoid disruption.
9. Can we hire more than one game for a larger stand?
Yes. Multi-game packages are popular at EventCity, especially for island stands or busy trade shows. We can supply combinations such as Batak + Prize Crane + Retro Arcade or Basketball + Reaction Wall depending on your goals.
10. How early should we book exhibition games for EventCity events?
EventCity hosts some of the largest exhibitions in the North West, and high-demand games often book months in advance. Early booking is recommended, though we can accommodate last-minute hires when stock allows.
11. Do you offer support during the exhibition?
Yes. Although our equipment is fully tested before delivery, our team remains on-call throughout your hire to provide support if needed.
