Exhibition Stand Games Hire – NEC Birmingham FAQs
1. Do you deliver and install games directly to NEC Birmingham?
Yes. We deliver, install and collect exhibition games directly at the NEC. Our team is fully experienced with the NEC’s loading bays, access procedures and build/breakdown times, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.
2. How much space do the games need on an NEC exhibition stand?
It depends on the game. Compact options like Batak, Strike-a-Light and retro arcade cabinets fit easily on smaller stands, while basketball machines or multi-game setups work best on medium to large stands. If you provide your floor plan, we’ll recommend the best layout.
3. Which games attract the most visitors at NEC shows?
Batak, Strike-a-Light, basketball arcades and prize cranes consistently generate the most footfall. Their movement, lights and competitive gameplay make them ideal for grabbing attention in the NEC’s large exhibition halls.
4. Can the games be branded for our stand?
Absolutely. Many of our games can be customised with branded wrap panels, logo graphics, branded leaderboards or themed competition signage. Branding ensures the game supports your messaging and stand design.
5. Do the games require power?
Most do. A standard 13-amp plug socket is required for many games, including Batak and arcade machines. If your stand has limited power, we can provide suitable low-power or power-free alternatives.
6. Are the games easy for visitors to use?
Yes. All our games are designed for intuitive, instant play, making them perfect for high-traffic environments where people engage for short periods before moving on.
7. Can we run competitions or giveaways with the games?
Definitely. Competitions are extremely effective for lead generation. You can run highest-score challenges, daily leaderboards, QR-code entry competitions, badge-scan contests or prize giveaways. We can also supply leaderboard sheets if needed.
8. How long does installation and removal take at the NEC?
Most games take 10–20 minutes to install once they reach your stand. Removal is just as fast. We coordinate exact timings with your event schedule and the NEC’s build/breakdown windows.
9. Can we hire multiple games for a larger stand?
Yes. Multi-game packages are very popular at the NEC. You can combine options such as Batak + Prize Crane, Basketball + Strike-a-Light, or build a full arcade or sports zone. We can design a bespoke package based on your goals.
10. How early should we book for NEC events?
NEC events are extremely busy, and high-impact games often sell out months in advance. Early booking is recommended, but last-minute hires may be possible depending on stock.
11. Do you provide on-call support during the exhibition?
Yes. Our equipment is fully tested prior to delivery, and our team remains on-call throughout your hire to provide support if needed.
