Activations are what we do best.
We’re a Melbourne arcade machine rental business based in Braybrook, and branded activations are the work we’re known for, product launches, expo stands, pop-ups and shopping centre campaigns for agencies and in-house brand teams alike.
The difference is in-house design and printing. Most arcade hire companies outsource wraps; ours are designed and printed by our own team, so a fully wrapped skill tester or punching machine goes from brief to install in days, not weeks, and the print is sharper. Send us your campaign brief and we’ll come back same-day.
One day or a month. One site or a tour.
We quote multi-day and multi-site campaigns: the machine stays on site for the life of the promotion, we restock prizes as they’re won, and installs can happen outside trading hours to keep centre management happy.
Touring interstate? We deliver wrapped machines for campaigns in Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane too.
We build the whole activation, not just the machine.
Most agencies come to us for a branded machine and end up briefing the rest of the build somewhere else. You do not have to. We run our own large format printing and fabrication, so the machine, the floor, the walls and the custom pieces all come from one team, on one timeline, on one invoice.
That means colour that actually matches across every element, one point of contact instead of four, and no finger-pointing between suppliers when install day arrives.
Working to a brief and a budget? Send it through and we will quote the full production. We are confident on price and we do not cut corners on quality.
