Safe Cracker Game
Safe Cracker Game Hire for Corporate Events & Exhibitions
Our Safe Cracker Game Hire 🔓 delivers a crack-the-code prize-reveal activation that instantly creates a focal point, draws a crowd and turns every winning code entry into a branded moment at corporate events, exhibitions, conferences, product launches and brand activations across Dublin and Ireland.
In practice, the premise is simple and universally understood — there’s a safe, there’s a code, there’s a prize inside. It’s part of our prize-and-reveal range alongside the Prize Wheel, the Cyclone and the Prize Crane. Guests step up, key in their code, and either crack it open or walk away to give the next person a go. The mechanic delivers something reaction games can’t: a built-in payoff moment where the door swings open and whatever you’ve put inside — your merchandise, a voucher, a one-of-a-kind reward — gets put directly in a customer’s hands. That moment is what guests photograph, what they tell colleagues about, and what makes your stand the one people remember from a hall of fifty.
Importantly, the activation format is yours to shape. The most popular set-up is a random 4-digit code: guests collect a combination from your team (or from a scan, an email signup, a survey completion — whatever lead-capture mechanic you’re running) and try their luck at the safe. Many clients release a hint on one digit during the day to lift the win rate, or set the code to a memorable number — the year the company was founded, the launch year of a product, an anniversary — so every cracked code carries a brand story. Alternatively run it as a mini-challenge series — solve a riddle, complete a product demo, answer a brand quiz — and the winners earn the right to attempt the final code. Either way, expect throughput of around 120–180 plays per hour — comparable to high-throughput reaction games, with the added impact of a prize-reveal moment every time someone cracks the code.
Additionally, Safe Cracker pairs naturally with our wider promotional-game range when you want to layer prize moments across a stand. Our Digital Prize Wheel and Prize Wheel Game deliver the spin-to-win moment for fast prize draws, our Crane Machine turns your branded merch into a claw-grab prize game, and our Giant Gashapon Capsule Dispenser creates a capsule-reveal crowd magnet. See the full interactive games range for everything we hire in this category.
Finally, all hires are delivered, installed and fully tested on-site by the Entertainment Solutions team before your event begins.

🎨 Branding & Activation Options
Safe Cracker is a prize-reveal game that lives or dies on whether guests can see your brand from across the room. A pixel-perfect printed wrap can be applied to all four visible panels of the plinth — front, back, left and right — putting your logo into every photo a guest takes during the prize-reveal moment.
Every price includes print, fit and removal post-event.
The starting point — unbranded Safe Cracker
The unit is a clear acrylic safe sitting on a freestanding plinth (60cm × 60cm × 150cm overall) with a number keypad on the safe face and a hinged door that opens on a successful code entry. Inside the plinth, a programmable RGB LED light base — set to your brand colours or auto-scroll mode — glows through an opal acrylic diffuser panel and illuminates the prize inside the clear acrylic safe from below. Guests can see exactly what they’re playing for before they crack the code, which is what pulls them in from across the room and keeps them trying. Visually striking even unbranded, but the whole point of hiring this for a branded activation is the wrap, which turns the plinth into a 1.5m-tall freestanding billboard for the duration of your event.
All branding is produced entirely in-house by Entertainment Solutions. Your design team supplies artwork using our keyline template and we print, fit and remove it post-event with no lasting marks on the unit. Our branding archive has branded Safe Cracker wraps we have already printed. Lead time is 2 weeks from artwork supplied. For brands wanting a complete activation we also provide brand ambassador staffing, on-site event management, backdrops, tension fabric displays, floor decals and bespoke activation structures — one supplier, full activation delivered. Call 01 5166 550 to discuss.
Branding Add-Ons — Fixed Prices
Branding is an optional paid add-on. Prices below are in addition to the game hire fee — pick individual panels or the full custom wrap.
⭐ Full Branded Wrap — All 4 Panels
€400+VAT
Pixel-perfect printed coverage on every visible side
Complete branded wrap covering all four panels of the plinth — front, back, left and right. The clear acrylic safe on top stays unbranded so guests can see the prize, and the keypad stays operable. Your artwork visible from any angle of approach, which matters at exhibition stands where guests circle the unit rather than just facing it. Printed, applied and removed by our team. Most clients who hire Safe Cracker for a branded activation choose this option.
Artwork Design Service
€195+VAT
Optional — our designer creates your artwork
If your team doesn’t have artwork ready, our design partner creates concept, revisions and print-ready files. One-off fee — covers the full wrap brief.
Multi-Event Campaigns
One-off branding charge
Roadshows & multi-event activations
For campaigns running multiple events close together, branding is a one-off charge. Events 3+ weeks apart may need an additional fee or a re-wrap — every campaign is different. Call 01 5166 550 to scope your timing.

🚚 Delivery, Setup & Collection — Quoted Per Event
Delivery isn't a flat fee, and that's deliberate. A fixed price would mean simple local jobs subsidising the complex ones — quoting per event means you only pay for what your event actually needs.
Every booking includes two journeys — we deliver and install before your event, then return to collect and de-rig afterwards. Where the venue allows, we deliver the day before and collect the day after at no extra charge, so your kit is set up and tested well ahead of doors.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Safe Cracker game work?
The unit is a clear acrylic safe on a branded plinth, with a number keypad on the safe face and a hinged door that opens on a successful code entry. The prize is visible inside the safe from across the room — lit from below by the programmable RGB LED in the plinth — so guests see exactly what they’re playing for before they step up. Guests are issued a 4-digit code, either a random combination from your team or a code earned by completing a mini-challenge, and key it in. A successful entry opens the door; an unsuccessful one resets and the next guest steps up. The code-entry moment is real, the open-door reveal is real, and the visible-prize-lit-from-below visual is what makes it work as a brand activation.
What's the difference between the lucky-numbers format and the mini-challenges format?
Lucky numbers are faster and lead-capture-friendly — guests give an email, scan a QR or complete a survey to receive a random 4-digit code, then attempt the safe. Most people don’t crack it, which keeps the prize moment scarce and the visit memorable. You can release a hint on one digit during the day to lift the win rate when you want more prize moments, or set the code to a memorable number — a founding year, product launch year, anniversary — so the code itself carries a brand story. Mini-challenges are slower but stickier — guests have to earn the right to attempt the code by solving a riddle, completing a product demo, watching a video, or answering a brand quiz. Use lucky numbers when you want volume and brand storytelling; use mini-challenges when you want depth of engagement and product education.
How many guests can play per hour?
On steady operation with a brand ambassador managing the queue between attempts, expect around 120–180 plays per hour. Each round is roughly 20 seconds of code entry plus the reveal moment — putting Safe Cracker on par with high-throughput reaction games while adding a prize-reveal payoff they can’t deliver.
Can we control how many people win?
Yes — the odds are entirely in your hands. The keypad takes a 4-digit code, so there are 10,000 possible combinations, and on a single random guess the base win rate is very low — which keeps prizes scarce and the open-door reveal feeling special. To hand out more wins, release a hint on one or two digits during the day, issue your team a shortlist of live codes, or set the code to a memorable number so it’s easier to share — each lever lifts the win rate predictably, so you can match prize spend to your budget. To keep a high-value grand prize genuinely rare, run the full random code and reset it daily. Tell us your target number of winners and we’ll set the format to suit.
What kinds of prizes work best in the safe?
Anything tactile, branded and one-per-winner. Best results we see: limited-edition merchandise, branded sample boxes, premium vouchers, “win a meeting with our CEO” cards, scratch-cards for larger prizes, or a single grand-prize item that resets each day. However, avoid anything bulky (the safe interior is sized for hand-held items) and avoid heat-sensitive items like chocolate — the RGB LED base produces a small amount of warmth over a full event day, so anything that can melt isn’t a good fit. Your team can swap prizes between attempts so you can run different prize tiers across the day.
What does Safe Cracker branding cost?
A full branded wrap covering all four panels of the unit (front, back, left, right) is €400 +VAT. Our in-house artwork design service is available for €195 +VAT if you don’t have artwork ready. Both are one-off charges per campaign — multi-event campaigns within a tight window are quoted as a single fee.
What does the branded wrap cover?
All four visible panels of the plinth — front, back, left and right — which gives you roughly 2.4m² of continuous branding surface around the base. The clear acrylic safe on top stays unbranded so guests can see the prize inside, and the keypad stays operable. The opal acrylic diffuser panel between the LED base and the safe also stays clear so the light can illuminate the prize from below. This matters at exhibition stands where guests circle the unit rather than just approaching from one side.
What artwork do you need from us?
We provide a keyline template for your design team to work to. They supply final artwork as a print-ready file and we handle everything from there — printing, fitting on-site, and removing post-event with no lasting marks on the unit. If you’d prefer our designer to create the artwork for you, that’s available as a €195 +VAT add-on covering the full wrap brief.
What is the lead time for a branded Safe Cracker?
2 weeks from artwork supplied. This gives us time to check your files and allows for any changes to be made. We can sometimes work on a shorter lead time depending on our production schedule — call us on 01 5166 550 to check.
How much space does Safe Cracker need?
Plan for 1m × 1m of clear operational space including player clearance in front of the unit. The unit itself is 60cm × 60cm at the base so the footprint is compact — well suited to tight exhibition stands and hotel event spaces where larger format games won’t fit.
Does Safe Cracker need power?
The game runs without mains power — the keypad is battery-powered (2× AAA, around 10,000 plays per set, which covers roughly 50–80 hours of active gameplay) and the door mechanism is mechanical. The only thing that needs a mains socket is the programmable RGB LED light base, which significantly improves the visual draw of the unit by lighting the prize inside the clear acrylic safe from below. If a power socket is available, we recommend using it; if not, the game still works perfectly without the LEDs lit.
Is Safe Cracker suitable for outdoor events?
No — Safe Cracker is designed for indoor use only. The unit is not weatherproof and the LED base loses visual impact in bright daylight. If you’re planning an outdoor activation, contact us on 01 5166 550 and we can recommend suitable alternatives from our range.
Can our brand ambassadors operate the game themselves?
Yes. Safe Cracker is straightforward to operate and your own team or brand ambassadors can run it independently after a briefing from us on setup day. We provide 24-hour telephone support throughout your hire period so help is always available if needed.
Can Entertainment Solutions manage the full activation?
Yes. Beyond the game itself we can provide brand ambassador staffing, on-site event management, prize-fulfilment logistics, backdrops, tension fabric displays, floor decals and bespoke activation structures. One supplier, full activation delivered. Call us on 01 5166 550 to discuss your requirements.
What's the lead time for booking?
For unbranded hires we can often accommodate short-notice bookings depending on availability. For branded hires we need a minimum of 2 weeks from artwork supplied to print and fit the wrap. For multi-location campaigns, roadshows or longer activations, contact us on 01 5166 550 as early as possible to lock in dates.
Do you deliver outside Ireland?
Ireland is our primary delivery footprint — Dublin, Cork, Galway, Belfast and every county between. We’ve also covered events in the UK, France, Spain and Germany on request, so cross-border activations are possible but quoted separately based on logistics, timing and customs. Call 01 5166 550 to discuss UK or EU dates.
