Exhibition Stand Games: How to Attract People to Your Stand

Q: What games work on a small exhibition stall?

Anything that fits a 1x1m corner and does not need a briefing — a Safe Cracker or Digital Prize Wheel are the two we recommend most for compact corner stands, since both play in seconds and do not eat floor space you do not have.

Q: Can the games be branded with our logo?

Yes — and it is done in-house. We dress games, wraps and leaderboards in your logo, colours and campaign messaging, working straight from your brand assets, so every photo taken at your stand carries your brand with it.

Q: Do you deliver and set up nationwide?

All of it. We are Dublin-based and cover exhibitions there every week, but we deliver, set up, test and collect at halls and venues nationwide, with delivery quoted per venue as part of your overall quote.

Q: How much space do we need?

From a 1x1m corner for a Safe Cracker or Prize Wheel up to a full island stand for a multi-game activation. Send your stand dimensions and we will match the games to the footprint rather than the other way round.

Nobody Stops for a Brochure. Everybody Stops for a Go.

The best exhibition stand games are fast, one-at-a-time challenges people understand at a glance — a Batak reaction wall, a Safe Cracker, a Prize Wheel. Under a minute a go, no explaining needed, and the small crowd they gather does your advertising for you.

Every hall is rows of stands saying roughly the same thing. What stops a walker is the sight of someone else mid-go — and your team standing right there when they finish. We deliver, set up and collect games for stands and shell schemes at trade shows across Ireland every week, from a single reaction wall in a 2×2m corner to a multi-game activation on an island stand. Browse the full interactive games range, or if you’re pricing a stand right now, the exhibition & trade show games hire page shows the same games as bookable packages.

Match the Footprint · 02

A Corner Stand and an Island Stand Are Different Sports.

A 2×2m corner and a full island stand need completely different games. Pick your stand size — here’s what actually works, and what to put on your quote.

No footprint to spare, no time to explain the rules. A Safe Cracker or a Digital Prize Wheel sits in a 1×1m corner, plays in under a minute, and needs zero briefing — someone walking past sees exactly what to do without breaking stride. Both double as a clean data-capture moment: spin or crack, then talk.

From €695 · delivery quoted separately per venue.

Room for a reaction wall and a running leaderboard. The Batak Pro (or the smaller Batak Lite) is the classic shell-scheme crowd-puller — a leaderboard on the side means the person who just set the fastest time goes and gets three colleagues. Whack a Mole and Strike a Light work the same corner of the hall for a slower afternoon.

Batak Lite from €595 · Batak Pro from €695 · Whack a Mole from €695.

Enough floor for a centrepiece. A Prize Crane, a Cyclone, a Pool Table, or a full Crazy Golf course turns an island stand into the thing delegates plan their route around. Multi-game activations are our bread and butter for the big stands — pick two or three and we’ll shape the layout around your floor plan.

Make Them Stay · 04

The Smell of Fresh Popcorn Does Half Your Networking For You.

A game gets someone to your stand. A popcorn or candy floss station gives them a reason to keep standing there while it’s made, which is exactly the window your team needs to actually talk to them. Pair it with a game and you’ve covered both the walk-by and the linger.

Straight Answer · 05

Your Team Runs the Stand. The Game Does the Pulling.

Once we’ve set up and tested everything before doors open, the stand is yours — the games are built to run all day without us. That’s deliberate. The game’s job is to pull people in and hold them for a minute; your team’s job is to be right there beside it, ready to talk to the leads it gathers. The game starts the conversation, your people finish it.

The industry’s own numbers back the approach: CEIR’s Attendee Floor Engagement research found 67% of attendees engage with product games when a stand offers one — while only 7% of exhibitors offer them. Two-thirds of the hall wants a go; almost nobody’s giving them one.

Fifteen years of exhibitions have taught us what separates a stand where the game earns its keep from one where it’s furniture: vibrant artwork, and where you put it. Front and centre, or on the open side where stepping up to it is easy — never tucked at the back, because if someone has to walk into your stand to find the game, most of them won’t.

What It Costs · 06

A Daily Rate Per Game, a Package Price Per Stand.

Every game has a straightforward daily hire rate — the from-prices beside each game above. Your quote comes down to which games, how many days, and any branding, with multi-game and multi-day stands priced as a package rather than a straight multiplication. Delivery is always quoted separately per venue, so you see exactly what you’re paying for before you commit.

Rough starting points, per game, per day: Safe Cracker & Digital Prize Wheel from €695 · Batak Lite from €595, Batak Pro from €695 · Whack a Mole from €695 · Cyclone from €895 · Crane Machine from €695 · Crazy Golf from €495, Pool Table from €495. Multi-game and multi-day stands are priced as a package — send your dates and floor plan and a quote usually lands back within the hour.

How It Works · 07

From Quote to Doors Open

Send your floor plan Tell us the stand size, hall, and dates and we’ll shortlist games that suit the footprint and the power available.
We confirm logistics Access times, loading-bay slots, power draw and any organiser rules get sorted before the day — exhibition halls have their own quirks and we know most of the Irish ones.
We deliver and set up Our crew builds and tests everything ahead of doors-open and briefs your stand staff on the handover.
We collect after close Once the hall clears, we strike the game and leave your stand exactly as we found it.

Questions · 08

Exhibition Stand Games FAQs

What are the best games for an exhibition stand?

Fast, one-at-a-time challenges that need no explaining — a Batak Pro reaction wall, a Safe Cracker, or a Digital Prize Wheel. They play in under a minute, and every go is a natural opening for your team to start a conversation.

What games work on a small exhibition stall?

Anything that fits a 1×1m corner and doesn’t need a briefing — a Safe Cracker or Digital Prize Wheel are the two we recommend most for compact corner stands, since both play in seconds and don’t eat floor space you don’t have.

How much does exhibition stand entertainment cost?

Each game has a daily hire rate — Safe Cracker and Digital Prize Wheel from €695 a day, Batak Lite from €595, and so on. Multi-game and multi-day stands are priced as a package, and branding is quoted per job. Delivery is always quoted separately per venue. Send your dates and the quote usually lands back within the hour.

Can the games be branded with our logo?

Yes — and it’s done in-house. We dress games, wraps and leaderboards in your logo, colours and campaign messaging, working straight from your brand assets, so every photo taken at your stand carries your brand with it.

Do you deliver and set up nationwide?

All of it. We’re Dublin-based and cover exhibitions there every week, but we deliver, set up, test and collect at halls and venues nationwide, with delivery quoted per venue as part of your overall quote.

How much space do we need?

From a 1×1m corner for a Safe Cracker or Prize Wheel up to a full island stand for a multi-game activation. Send your stand dimensions and we’ll match the games to the footprint rather than the other way round.

Will it run all day without our own staff managing it?

Yes — the games are built for it. We set up and test everything before the hall opens and collect after close; during the show your own stand team runs the fun and works the leads the game pulls in.

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you have dates. Trade-show season runs September to November and the popular reaction games book out weeks ahead of the bigger halls — the earlier you send your floor plan, the more choice you have.

Still deciding? Talk to a human.

Tell us the hall, your stand size and your dates and we’ll shortlist the games that fit.
