Turn Your Exhibition Stand Into an Experience

Exhibition visitors can walk past hundreds of stands during a single event.

Your challenge is getting them to stop.

Interactive entertainment changes the proposition.

Instead of:

COME AND TALK TO US

you can create:

CAN YOU BEAT OUR HIGH SCORE?

The game provides an easy first interaction.

Once the visitor is participating, your team has an opportunity to start a conversation.

---

How Arcade Games Can Support Lead Generation

The game doesn’t need to perform the sales process itself.

Its job can simply be to create the interaction.

A typical journey might be:

STEP 1

Visitor notices the game.

STEP 2

Visitor approaches the stand.

STEP 3

Visitor enters the competition.

STEP 4

Visitor plays.

STEP 5

Their result is recorded.

STEP 6

Your team begins a conversation.

STEP 7

The visitor continues exploring the stand.

Where personal data is collected, organisers should ensure their registration, consent and marketing processes meet applicable requirements.

High Score Games for Lead Generation

Visitors aren’t simply playing once.

They’re trying to reach:

NUMBER ONE

Suitable games can include:

Basketball

Reaction Games

Boxing Machines

Racing Games

Retro Arcade Machines

Keep a leaderboard beside the game so passing attendees can see the current target.

---

Reaction Games for Lead Generation Events

can immediately communicate the challenge.

These games can be particularly relevant for:

Technology Exhibitions

Automotive Events

Sports Brands

Corporate Exhibitions

Experiential Campaigns

The score gives visitors something immediate to compare against other attendees.

---

Racing Games for Lead Generation

Twin racing machines create a different interaction because two people can participate together.

Use:

Mario Kart DX Twin Arcade Hire

or:

Overtake DX Twin Arcade Hire.

These can create:

CUSTOMER VS CUSTOMER

CLIENT VS SALES TEAM

COLLEAGUE VS COLLEAGUE

COMPANY VS COMPANY

Racing can be especially relevant for automotive, technology and engineering events.

Create a retro challenge around:

High Scores

Tournaments

Player vs Player

Company Leaderboards

This can make the stand feel less formal while still creating opportunities for conversation.

---

Giant PAC-MAN for Exhibitions

Use it to create:

THE GIANT PAC-MAN CHALLENGE

and maintain a leaderboard throughout the exhibition.

Gaming Events

Corporate Exhibitions

Retro Campaigns

Product Launches

---

Street Fighter Tournament

Instead of a traditional leaderboard, run a tournament.

Visitors compete.

ROUND TWO

Winners continue.

SEMI-FINAL

Remaining players compete.

FINAL

One winner remains.

This can give visitors a reason to return to the stand later in the day.

---

Prize Crane Lead Generation

Instead of simply handing promotional merchandise to visitors, you can potentially turn the giveaway into an interactive experience.

Use Prize Crane Grabber Hire for suitable campaigns.

Potential concepts include:

PLAY TO WIN

GRAB A PRIZE

WIN WITH [BRAND]

TRY YOUR LUCK

CAN YOU GRAB IT?

Suitable prizes will depend on the machine and project requirements.

---

Gashapon Lead Generation

A gashapon-style dispenser can provide another interactive giveaway concept.

Rather than simply receiving a promotional item, visitors participate in the experience.

Potential capsule contents could be determined by the organiser and might include suitable:

Campaign Messages

Prize Information

Promotional Items

Competition Entries

Product Samples

Discount Codes

Use Gashapon Dispenser Hire for suitable activations.

---

Arcade Games for Exhibition Lead Generation

Exhibitions are one of the most natural environments for interactive lead-generation games.

Your stand needs to compete against dozens or potentially hundreds of other exhibitors.

A game can create a visual and interactive reason to stop.

Then your team can handle the commercial conversation.

This makes arcade entertainment particularly useful for B2B exhibitions and trade shows.

---

Arcade Games for Brand Activations

For a brand activation, the game itself can become part of the campaign.

Create concepts such as:

BEAT THE BRAND

RACE THE BRAND

REACTION CHALLENGE

SHOOT TO WIN

PLAY TO WIN

TAKE THE CHALLENGE

For suitable projects, discuss how the selected attraction could fit into the wider campaign.

---

Branded Arcade Games for Lead Generation

Branding can potentially make an arcade attraction feel more integrated into the exhibition stand.

Depending on the selected equipment and project, discuss requirements around:

Logos

Campaign Graphics

Leaderboard Design

Challenge Names

Signage

Brand Messaging

Event Artwork

Competition Graphics

The aim is to make the game feel like part of the activation rather than an unrelated machine placed on the stand.

---

Lead Generation Games for Product Launches

Launching a new product?

Interactive games can give guests another reason to spend time within the launch environment.

Create a challenge connected to the campaign.

For example:

TECHNOLOGY PRODUCT

Reaction challenge.

AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCT

Racing competition.

SPORTS PRODUCT

Basketball challenge.

RETRO CAMPAIGN

Classic arcade competition.

PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN

Prize machine.

Match the attraction to the audience and product.

---

Lead Generation Games for Technology Events

Technology brands can use arcade gaming to create a less formal interaction with visitors.

Potential options include:

Reaction Games

Racing

Retro Arcade Machines

Basketball

Prize Machines

Technology exhibitions are often crowded, so a visually distinctive interactive attraction can help differentiate the stand.

---

Lead Generation Games for Automotive Events

Automotive brands can build challenges around:

SPEED

REACTION

COMPETITION

Combine a racing game with a reaction challenge.

Visitors could complete:

CHALLENGE ONE

Reaction Test.

CHALLENGE TWO

Racing.

This creates an interactive concept that fits naturally with the wider industry.

---

Lead Generation Games for Recruitment Events

Interactive games can also make recruitment stands more approachable.

At careers fairs and recruitment exhibitions, candidates may initially stop to participate in the game.

Recruiters then have a natural opportunity to introduce:

Graduate Roles

Apprenticeships

Career Opportunities

Company Culture

Employer Branding

Vacancies

This can help turn a static recruitment stand into a more interactive environment.

---

Create a Visitor vs Sales Team Challenge

Instead of letting visitors compete only against each other, involve your employees.

Create:

CAN YOU BEAT OUR SALES TEAM?

This works well with:

Mario Kart

Basketball

Reaction Games

Street Fighter

Air Hockey

It immediately gives your team something to talk about with the visitor.

---

Create a Company vs Company Leaderboard

For B2B events, record the participant’s company alongside their score.

For example:

Now different businesses attending the exhibition are competing against one another.

This can encourage additional participation from colleagues.

---

Small Lead Generation Stands

You don’t need a huge stand.

For a smaller exhibition space, concentrate on:

ONE GAME

ONE CHALLENGE

ONE LEADERBOARD

ONE CALL TO ACTION

A focused setup can be easier for visitors to understand than trying to fit multiple attractions into a limited area.

---

Large Lead Generation Stands

For a major exhibition stand, create several interaction points.

RACING

Mario Kart.

REACTION

Batak.

SPORTS

Basketball.

RETRO

PAC-MAN.

PRIZES

Prize Crane.

Different attractions can appeal to different visitors and allow multiple people to participate simultaneously.

---

Create a Lead Generation Arcade

For a substantial stand, turn the entire area into an arcade-style activation.

Visitors could receive a challenge card and complete several activities.

For example:

GAME 1

Reaction.

GAME 2

Basketball.

GAME 3

Racing.

GAME 4

Retro Arcade.

Complete all four and receive a final result or campaign interaction determined by the organiser.

This creates a visitor journey through the stand.
