Arcade Basketball – Event Animation
An arcade-style basketball game for your event: two hoops, a branded backboard and a sloped ramp that returns the balls, so kids and adults can compete to score as many baskets as they can. Easy to learn, fun to watch and always a crowd-puller — ideal for fan zones, festivals, family days, shopping centres and brand activations.

How it works
Step 1
We set up the arcade game: two hoops, a branded backboard and a sloped ramp that returns the balls.
Step 2
Two players step up, each shooting at their own hoop, and score as many baskets as they can in 60 seconds. The game offers other settings too, but this is the standard format.
Step 3
Our host counts the score, cheers the players on and keeps a leaderboard.
Step 4
The best scores of the day can win prizes – a simple way to keep people coming back.
