Whether you need a small breakout area or a large, fully equipped gaming zone, we provide a complete, flexible solution that meets the needs of universities, colleges and student accommodation providers.
We supply everything — arcade machines, table games, seating, interactive entertainment and more — with purchase, rental or fully managed options available.
Why Student Unions Need a Dedicated Game Room
Today’s students want more than a place to study — they want a place to relax, socialise and disconnect from academic pressure. A well-designed game room helps you:
✔ Increase Footfall & Student Engagement
Game rooms quickly become the most popular areas on campus.
✔ Improve Student Wellbeing & Mental Health
Interactive entertainment helps relieve stress and supports positive wellbeing.
✔ Provide a Safe, Inclusive Social Environment
Perfect for students who prefer on-campus leisure instead of nightlife.
✔ Support Societies & Campus Events
Gaming societies, tournaments, e-sports clubs and social events all benefit.
✔ Boost Student Satisfaction Ratings
Higher engagement = higher retention & improved student experience scores.
Game rooms are now a key expectation in modern student unions.
