Custom Arcade Machines for Brands & Businesses

Put your brand where people can play it.

Looking for a custom arcade machine for a trade show, event or commercial space? NakNick helps brands turn an arcade cabinet into a branded experience - with custom artwork and the option to add a game built around your product, campaign or message. Choose a bartop or full-size setup, then tell us where you plan to use it.

Bartop concepts from $1,500 · full-size concepts from $3,500. Final pricing depends on configuration, artwork, game scope and delivery.

Cabinets are manufactured and fulfilled by our arcade supplier. NakNick handles your brief, branding direction and activation options.

Cabinet + game

A Custom Arcade Cabinet Is Just the Start

A cabinet alone is a nice object. A cabinet with a game built around your product is a conversation. That's the difference between buying a commercial arcade machine and commissioning a branded experience.

The cabinet

Artwork, marquee, control panel and finish are configured with our manufacturing partner. We confirm the exact hardware, startup behaviour and control mapping for the model you choose before anything is promised - including whether a custom game can run on it.

The game

Game development is a separate NakNick service: start with an existing mechanic and add your brand, or commission something bespoke. Leaderboards and lead capture are then scoped to the hardware and the event, so the activation does what you actually need rather than what's easiest to ship.

An arcade machine for business use has to survive an event floor, not a spare bedroom. If you're comparing commercial arcade machines for sale elsewhere, check what's included - artwork, delivery, warranty and who supports the software. We'll spell out the same details in your quote. Tell us what you need and we'll confirm which parts NakNick handles and which come from the cabinet manufacturer.

What Would People Play?

Four mechanics from our template library, playable right here. Each can be rebranded for a cabinet, or used as the starting point for something bespoke.

  • Saloon Panic

    arcade

    Top-down tapper: fast, loud and immediately understandable.

  • Ketch Up

    arcade

    Flappy-style one-tap reflex game - perfect for a 30-second first go.

  • Ski Ya Later

    endless

    Top-down ski racing game

  • Pollen Blaster

    space-shooter

    Space-shooter mechanic that maps neatly onto products with moving parts.

Want the full library? Browse all game templates or see how we build custom branded games. If a phone-based booth game fits better than a cabinet, our trade show games page is the place to start.

Use cases

Where a Custom Arcade Machine Fits

The same cabinet can do very different jobs. Tell us which of these is closest and we'll scope the build around it.

  • Trade shows and conferences

    A visible reason to stop at the booth, with an optional custom game that teaches the product pitch in 60 seconds.

  • Product launches

    Make the launch mechanic itself the game - a flavour, feature or new SKU becomes the thing players interact with.

  • Hospitality and venues

    A commercial arcade machine that earns its floor space: repeatable, low-friction and easy to explain to guests.

  • Offices and team events

    A branded break-room piece, or a one-off tournament for a company away day.

No hardware promise is made until the supplier confirms the model: screen, controls, startup behaviour and how a custom game would run on it.

How it works

From Brief to a Cabinet You Can Play

Four steps, with the commercial details confirmed before anything is built.

  1. Send the brief

    Cabinet format, brand, where it will live and what you want people to do with it.

  2. Concept and quote

    We confirm hardware, artwork direction and game scope, with a price before anything is committed.

  3. Build and test

    Our manufacturing partner builds the cabinet; NakNick develops and tests the game where one is included.

  4. Deliver and play

    Delivery, setup and activation features are confirmed for your date and destination.
