How to Gamify your Branding

How to Gamify Your Brand Messaging

Brand messaging doesn’t have to be static. When you incorporate interactive elements through gamification, you turn passive audiences into active participants — and Expo Play has the tools to help you do exactly that.

From Custom Branded Games to Prize Games, Expo Play helps businesses across the UK bring campaigns to life in a playful, engaging way. Whether you're exhibiting at the ExCeL London, welcoming guests at Branded Game Hire Glasgow, or running a campaign at Branded Game Hire Liverpool, here’s how to infuse your messaging with fun.

1. Make Your Message Part of the Challenge

Our games are more than entertainment — they’re delivery vehicles for your key messages. With Custom Branding, you can integrate slogans, product names, or campaign visuals into the gameplay itself. A Strike a Light 2 Players challenge can include your colours, logos, or timed questions about your brand. This ensures every interaction reinforces your core messaging without ever feeling forced.

2. Reward Participation with Brand-Aligned Prizes

Adding incentives is a surefire way to get your message to stick. With Prize Crane Grabber units or a Crack the Safe game, you can tailor prize contents to align with your brand — whether that’s custom merchandise, discount vouchers, or exclusive invites. We’ve seen great success with branded giveaways at Branded Game Hire Birmingham and Branded Game Hire London events, where footfall and visibility are high.

3. Drive Repeat Engagement Through Competition

Leaderboard-based games like Roll a Ball Racing Game or The Vault create repeat engagement and longer dwell times. Add daily or hourly top-score prizes to make your messaging stick around longer — ideal for multi-day exhibitions such as those at the NEC Birmingham or the Manchester Central Convention Complex.

4. Track Engagement and Collect Insights

Gamified experiences can also double as data collection tools. With opt-in features, Expo Play’s digital games such as Tap the App or Pixel Play can gather valuable customer feedback while immersing users in your brand story. You get meaningful insights while attendees have fun.

Final Thought:
Gamifying your brand messaging isn’t just about fun — it’s about resonance, memorability, and emotional connection. With nationwide service covering venues from the Olympia London to the Coventry Building Society Arena, Expo Play makes it easy to turn brand objectives into engaging experiences.

Our services reach Nottingham, Branded Game Hire Newcastle, and Branded Game Hire Glasgow, with installations at the ExCeL London and the Business Design Centre.
