Make your booth the busiest spot on the show floor. Custom-wrapped claw cranes, reaction challenges, prize wheels and arcade cabinets — delivered direct from our Dutch warehouse.
Why exhibitors at Messe Basel choose Made for Arcade
Messe Basel offers around 141,000 m² of exhibition space in central Basel and hosts global cultural and industrial events that attract international visitors. With dozens of exhibitors competing for attention on every show floor, a generic booth gets walked past. An interactive arcade machine doesn’t. We help international exhibitors turn their stand into the busiest spot at the show — without the logistical headache of shipping equipment in from another country.
Close to Messe Basel
From our Goirle facility it’s around 479 km to Messe Basel, so build-up, last-minute swaps and on-call support all happen on the same working day rather than across borders.
Custom-wrapped
Each rental can be skinned with your branding, hero imagery and call-to-action. Your stand turns into the most-photographed corner of the hall.
Lead-gen ready
Every cabinet can connect to a registration form, QR landing page or prize-redemption desk — turning each play into a tracked, qualified lead.
Machines that work hardest at Messe Basel
Messe Basel hosts internationally-attended flagship events — Art Basel, Swissbau, Igeho and Holzmesse. Collectors, specifiers and senior trade visitors with real budget — these are the machines that consistently pull a crowd, regardless of vertical.
Strike a Light™
Light up the targets in 30 seconds — a skill-and-speed test that pulls competitive players and keeps a leaderboard buzzing all day.
Custom claw machine
Stock the cabinet with sample-size product, branded plush or capsule prizes — every grab is a memorable hand-off and an extra moment of dwell time.
Branded arcade cabinet
Cocktail, upright or bartop — every cabinet can be wrapped in your branding, with hundreds of classic titles loaded for instant play.
Digital prize wheel
When floor space is tight, the digital prize wheel still pulls a crowd. Slot it next to your registration desk and turn every spin into a tracked interaction.

Common questions from exhibitors
What’s the lead time on a rental?
Custom branded cabinets need around six weeks for design, print and fitting. Unbranded rentals can usually be confirmed two weeks out, though peak weeks fill up fast.
Do you deliver to the venue?
Yes — door-to-stand. We work with your build crew and Messe Basel’s logistics team so machines arrive in your assigned build-up window, tested before we hand over.
Do the machines need special power?
Every cabinet runs on a standard 230 V European mains feed via C-13/C-14. A surge protector is strongly recommended — show floors are notorious for voltage spikes.
What happens to the branding after the event?
Yes — and many exhibitors do. Some convert from rental to purchase after the first show; others keep the cabinet on a rolling rental and re-skin it for the next campaign.
What if something breaks during the show?
Yes — and we recommend it for any multi-day show. Our “expedited on-call service contract” gets an engineer to your stand fast if anything misbehaves.
