Premium Arcade Machines & Interactive Games for Trade Show Stands Across the UK
Our Trade Show Arcade Hire service provides exhibitors with high-impact arcade machines that attract attention, increase footfall and create memorable moments on the stand. These games give your team more opportunities to speak with visitors, collect leads and demonstrate products in a relaxed, engaging environment.
Whether you’re exhibiting at ExCeL London, the NEC, Olympia or any major UK venue, our arcade machines are exhibition-ready, compact, reliable and designed for all-day performance.
Trade shows demand instant engagement. Visitors move quickly, and exhibitors need standout features that stop people in their tracks. Arcade machines provide movement, sound and competitive gameplay — all of which naturally pull crowds toward your stand.
By adding arcade games to your display, you benefit from:
• Strong visual attraction
• Increased dwell time
• More natural conversations
• Better brand recall
• A relaxed environment for networking
• Increased badge scans and lead volume
• A fun atmosphere that sets your stand apart
They turn your stand into a destination instead of a passing point.
Create a High-Engagement Stand
Arcade machines encourage visitors to stay longer, talk more and interact with your team while playing. They serve as an effective ice-breaker, making it easier for your staff to introduce products, collect information or set up demos.
Visitors often return multiple times to beat high scores or compete with colleagues, giving your brand repeated exposure throughout the day.
