Maintain the leaderboard throughout the exhibition and encourage visitors to compete.
Why use only one leaderboard?
Create a larger challenge using several machines.
For example:
Reaction.
Basketball.
Racing.
Visitors complete all three challenges.
You can then create an overall competition based on your chosen event format.
Games can form part of a wider visitor-engagement strategy.
A typical journey could be:
Visitor notices your game.
They approach the stand and play.
Your team starts a conversation.
The visitor learns more about your business.
Your normal exhibition process continues.
Where personal information is collected, organisers should use appropriate privacy and consent processes.
Not every exhibition objective is immediate lead generation.
Some businesses want visibility.
A large interactive attraction can create a memorable element within the stand.
Instead of visitors remembering:
“the company with the blue stand”
they may remember:
“the company with the racing game.”
Connecting the attraction closely with your branding can strengthen that association.
Smaller stands should focus on one strong attraction.
For example:
Reaction Game.
Basketball.
Arcade Machine.
Gashapon.
Prize Crane.
Choose something appropriate for your available space and visitor flow.
Larger stands provide more opportunities.
Create multiple engagement points.
Head-to-head driving.
Reaction + Basketball.
Classic arcade games.
Prize Crane + Gashapon.
This gives several visitors the opportunity to participate simultaneously.
For substantial stands, build an entire temporary arcade.
Combine:
Racing Games
Retro Machines
Sports Games
Reaction Challenges
Prize Machines
Create:
The arcade itself can become one of the major attractions on your stand.
