Frequently Asked Questions About Exhibition Hire at Alexandra Palace
Alexandra Palace attracts a wide variety of visitors. Can you recommend games that appeal to mixed audiences?
Yes. One of the venue's strengths is the diversity of its exhibitions, so we recommend attractions based on who will actually be attending your event. Whether you're expecting trade buyers, consumers, families, creatives or business professionals, we'll suggest games that suit the audience rather than simply the venue.
Our stand has a premium look and feel. Will exhibition games fit with our branding?
They certainly can. Many of our attractions are available with bespoke branding, allowing colours, graphics and messaging to blend seamlessly with your exhibition stand. The result is a polished experience where the game feels like part of your brand rather than a separate feature.
Can interactive games encourage visitors to stay longer at our stand?
That's one of their biggest advantages. Instead of visitors taking a brochure and moving on, an interactive challenge gives them a reason to pause. That extra minute or two often creates the opportunity for a far more valuable conversation with your team.
We're launching a completely new product at Alexandra Palace. Can the attraction support the launch?
Absolutely. Many exhibitors build competitions, themed challenges or branded experiences around a product launch, helping visitors engage with the campaign in a memorable way instead of simply viewing static displays.
Do exhibition games only work for large exhibition spaces?
No. Alexandra Palace accommodates everything from compact shell-scheme stands to expansive exhibition builds. We supply attractions for a wide range of footprints and can recommend options that maximise engagement without overwhelming your available space.
Can your games help create social media content during the exhibition?
Yes. Interactive experiences naturally encourage photographs, videos and friendly competition. Many exhibitors use these moments to generate user-created content that extends the reach of their exhibition activity beyond visitors attending on the day.
Is it possible to tailor the difficulty of a game to suit our audience?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the attraction and your campaign objectives, we can advise on competition formats that encourage participation from a broad audience, whether you're targeting casual visitors or highly competitive delegates.
What if we want our stand to feel more approachable?
Games are an excellent way to reduce barriers. Rather than asking visitors to begin with a business conversation, they can first engage with a light-hearted activity, making introductions feel much more natural for both your team and your prospective customers.
Can exhibition attractions support sponsorship opportunities?
They can. Sponsors often choose branded games as focal points within exhibition spaces, incorporating logos, promotional messaging or co-branded visuals to maximise exposure throughout the event.
How do you help exhibitors choose between so many different attractions?
Instead of starting with products, we start with your objectives. We'll discuss the type of exhibition, your target audience, the layout of your stand and the outcomes you're hoping to achieve before recommending attractions that genuinely support those goals.
Why do interactive exhibition games work so well at Alexandra Palace?
Visitors to Alexandra Palace typically come ready to explore, compare and experience new ideas. Interactive games complement that mindset by giving people something they can actively take part in, making your stand more memorable and helping your team create stronger connections throughout the event.
Our Range of Exhibition Games for Hire at Alexandra Palace
The moment exhibition visitors step through the doors at Alexandra Palace, they're faced with a choice. Dozens, sometimes hundreds, of stands all competing for attention at the same time. Most visitors make decisions quickly. They scan. They glance. They keep walking. The exhibitors who create a reason to pause are often the ones who generate the conversations that matter.
That's why our exhibition game hire range is built around interruption in the best possible sense. Not loud for the sake of it. Not distracting. Simply engaging enough to turn a passing glance into a genuine interaction.
For brands exhibiting in the vast open spaces of Alexandra Palace, visual presence matters. Attractions such as Pixel Play, Photo Mosaic Wall and Racing Simulator naturally draw eyes from across busy exhibition halls. Visitors can often spot activity before they see the branding, which creates a natural flow of traffic towards your stand throughout the day.
Some exhibitors need fast participation. A visitor may only have thirty seconds to spare before heading to their next meeting. In those situations, quick-fire challenges such as Strike a Light 2 Players, Tap the App and Batak Pro work particularly well. The rules are simple, the competition starts instantly, and before long colleagues are challenging each other to beat the high score.
Other events at Alexandra Palace attract visitors who are happy to browse and spend longer exploring. Creative exhibitions, lifestyle events and consumer shows often benefit from attractions that encourage repeat participation. That's where games such as Mini Golf, Giant Jenga and Giant Connect Four come into their own. They create movement around the stand and encourage spectators as well as players.
Prize-led activity remains one of the most effective ways to encourage participation. A well-positioned Prize Crane Grabber or a branded challenge linked to giveaways can quickly create interest, particularly when visitors can see other people winning. Human nature takes over. People want to have a go.
Alexandra Palace also hosts exhibitions where appearance and brand presentation are every bit as important as gameplay. Our Custom Branded Games allow exhibitors to integrate logos, campaign messaging, product launches and visual identities directly into the attraction itself. Rather than simply placing a game on the stand, the game becomes part of the wider marketing campaign.
For businesses wanting something entirely unique, our Bespoke Branded Fairground Game service can create experiences designed around specific products, industries or promotional objectives. These are particularly effective for companies launching new services, celebrating milestones or creating a centrepiece attraction for a major exhibition appearance.
The beauty of Alexandra Palace is its flexibility. Some exhibitors arrive with compact stands focused on lead generation, while others build large experiential spaces designed to dominate the hall. Our range covers both approaches, from space-efficient Skill Games through to larger-scale Competitive Games and immersive branded activations.
When visitors leave an exhibition, they rarely remember every stand they walked past. They remember the conversations they had, the experiences they enjoyed and the brands that gave them a reason to stop. That's exactly what our exhibition games are designed to achieve.
