Setup Options for Digital Games at Events Header

Interested in using a digital game at an event and want to see how it might come to life on your stand? We're here with a handy list of the setup options available!

Digital games for use anywhere

Our browser-based games are accessed via a unique URL and will work on any internet-enabled device. Since the games are digital products, it means they can be purchased and used all over the world!

We do not currently provide any hardware outside of the UK, however there are many setup options available to you. 👇

Setting up your game at an event

When purchasing a ready-to-go game, you’ll want to select one of the ‘Event’ campaign types to ensure that the game will be in event mode.

From there, we tend to recommend physical setups with:

iPads 📱
Laptop + controller 🎮
Large touchscreen 👉
Branded arcade machine 🕹️

Game setup: iPads

In this setup, the game is played on an iPad device. Generally speaking, there are three different ways in which you can do this:

Option 1 – iPad(s) only
Option 2 – Mirror mode (together with a larger screen)
Option 3 – Tournament/Leaderboard mode (together with a larger screen)
