A computer-controlled Strike-a-Light reaction and speed game — 3 games in 1, plug-and-play, and ready to draw a crowd the second you switch it on.
Custom built in Europe, this Batak-style speed challenge tests reflexes, reaction time and coordination across multiple game modes. Players race to strike lit targets as fast as they can — the pace ramps up, the patterns get harder, and one more go is always too tempting to pass up.
It ships standard with several built-in games and adjustable difficulty, so the same machine suits a curious first-timer or a serious athlete chasing a high score.
three ways to play
Every mode is built around fast, physical, head-to-head fun — easy to pick up, hard to master. Level 1: random targets light up and you hit them as fast as you can, starting slow and accelerating relentlessly. Level 2: a coloured ring appears on the centre console and you race to find the matching colour before it changes. Level 3: the processor generates patterns and you match them to climb the leaderboard.
Why it works on the floor
Lighthearted competition draws crowds and delivers brand retention — people stop to watch, queue to beat the score, and stay long enough to remember who put it there. The same Strike-a-Light Professional is trusted for serious work too: it’s used in gyms, for army training, by Formula 1 teams and in medical rehabilitation, as well as at brand activations, festivals and exhibitions. Wherever you put it, it’s always a hit — making it a buy-once asset that earns its place at event after event.
Set up anywhere, in any orientation
Strong yet lightweight, it works in any orientation — fix it permanently to a wall, hang it temporarily on an exhibition wall, mount it on a freestanding stand, or lay it flat on a table. One person can carry it, it fits in a good-sized standard car without tear-downs, and it deploys at the next event in under a minute. Engineered for maximum efficiency, it runs on a standard USB-C connector — a phone charger or power pack will do — so there’s no need for expensive exhibition power, and it works in any region or country.
Also known as a Batak reaction wall, reflex wall or speed-reaction game. Available as a wall-mount model or as a freestanding machine on a steel frame with an integrated marketing panel.
Branding and panel personalisation are available as an option — ideal for turning every match into shareable, on-brand content. Machines are finished in black as standard.

Power supply and surge protection
Arcade and entertainment machines are computer-controlled and contain sensitive electronics. Mains power at events, venues and even ordinary outlets is frequently unstable or “dirty” — voltage spikes, surges, sags and brown-outs, flicker, overloaded or shared circuits, generators, long extension runs and the switching of nearby equipment can all push the supply outside the machine’s safe operating range.
You must always connect the machine through a good-quality surge protector, and — wherever the supply is unreliable or the machine must not lose power unexpectedly — through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These sensitive machines cannot tolerate power spikes, surges, brown-outs or sudden cut-offs.
Damage, data loss or malfunction caused by power-supply problems is not covered by warranty. Failure to use adequate power protection can lead to machine malfunction and, in some cases, a risk of fire or bodily harm. If you are unsure about your power supply, consult a qualified electrician before use.

Machine description
The Turbo Tower is a speed and reaction game with various built-in features and settings. It is intended for home entertainment and is not designed for commercial use. The minimum age for use is 14 years; underage players should only use the machine under the direct supervision of an adult. The user selects games through the built-in menu and can influence play by toggling options on and off in the user menu.
The Turbo Tower.
Intended use
The Turbo Tower is intended for domestic entertainment use and is not designed or intended for commercial use. It must never be left in operation unattended — always supervised by a competent adult. Never run it for more than 4 hours at a time; after a maximum of 4 hours, disconnect it from the power supply for at least 20 minutes. The minimum age for use is fourteen; underage players should only use the machine under adult supervision.
Risks when using the machine
Using the machine may involve risks. Before use, ensure everyone involved understands the risks and the machine’s limitations. The machine is never 100% predictable, so a competent adult must always supervise and be able to intervene. Never run it for more than 4 hours at a time (then switch it off, plug removed, for at least 30 minutes). The machine is tall with a raised centre of gravity and can tip over if players push hard against it or the buttons.
Unpacking and preparation
Remove the Turbo Tower from the wooden or steel crate (if applicable).
Remove all packaging materials such as foam, plastic or cardboard.
Place the machine on a flat surface and make sure the USB power cord is not a tripping hazard.
Commissioning
The Turbo Tower operates on 5 volts / 2 amps. Use only a short-circuit-proof USB adapter (or batteries) that provides a stable 5 V at at least 2 A without ripple — most phone chargers meet this. Inspect the machine and cord for defects or damage and do not connect anything damaged. After checking, plug the USB cord into the back/bottom of the machine; it starts automatically (you may hear a noise at start-up).
Caution — power supply: ensure the supply can always deliver full current. If it can’t, the built-in boost converter tries to compensate, driving high currents through the machine that can cause damage, overheating or fire. Always ensure at least 4.9 V is available; if needed, use a USB power/voltage meter between the supply and the machine. Damage from an incorrect power supply is not covered.
Operation of the machine
The playing field has several illuminated buttons (targets) that light up depending on the selected game; each target must be pressed quickly or in a specific order (see the game modes). A menu button on the playing field is used to select game modes or change settings.
Decommissioning the machine
Disconnect the machine from the power supply completely. Do not leave it unattended while connected to the power supply.
Periodic maintenance
Service the machine every 4 hours of use, or at least once a week for light use.
Visual inspection of wiring and mechanisms
Check all (internal) parts and cables for damage, breakage or abnormal behaviour — energetic play can jam buttons or pull on cables and mechanisms. Always disconnect the power before working inside.
Buttons and operation
Menu button (directly below the screen, centre of the machine): short press = start game / confirm selection; long press = go to settings.
Target buttons (the other buttons in the tower): press the correct target to score in games; press any target to select games in the game menu; in the user menu, press a red-lit target to increase a value or a green-lit target to decrease it.
Startup procedure
When powered, the machine starts automatically and runs through:
The welcome screen is shown.
Intro music plays.
An internal check runs — all targets light red, then green, then blue. (Hold the menu button down during this to jump straight into the settings menu.)
All targets light orange together for a self-test — press every button one by one to continue; each press dims that target, confirming the button and logic work. If no button is pressed, the self-test is skipped after 10 seconds.
Standby (attract) mode: the machine waits for a player and shows light patterns to attract attention.
Game menu — choose from 6 games
In attract mode, long-press the menu button until the screen prompts you to release it. Press any target button (not the menu button) to cycle through the options (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1-2-3…):
Game 1: reaction mode
Game 2: match the colour
Game 3: match the pattern
Game 4: bouncing hunt
Game 5: up and down
Game 6: 2 in order
Option 7: user settings
When a game is shown, confirm by briefly pressing the menu button — you return to attract mode and can start the game by pressing the menu button again.
Game variations explained
In every game, targets stay lit for a shorter time as the game speeds up. If you collect more points than set in the user menu before the timer reaches zero, you get a win screen — otherwise a loss screen.
Game 1 — reaction mode
A random target lights up; press it as fast as possible to score. If you miss it in time, a new target is chosen. Wrong presses or misses don’t deduct points.
Game 2 — match the colour
A ring around the menu button lights a random colour and every target gets a random colour. Find and press the target matching the menu ring’s colour as fast as possible. Wrong presses or misses don’t deduct points.
Game 3 — match the pattern (difficult)
A coloured pattern lights around the menu button and each target gets a random pattern. Press the one target whose pattern matches (note: patterns on the targets can be rotated, and only one matches at a time). A wrong press deducts 1 point; a miss deducts nothing.
Game 4 — bouncing hunt (intense)
The top target lights, then each one below in order to the bottom, then back up — you know which is next, so it’s fast-paced and you constantly chase up and down. Wrong presses or misses don’t deduct points.
Game 5 — up and down (mostly)
Top target lights, then bottom, then top, then bottom… but sometimes another target is secretly lit, so watch for deviations. A wrong press deducts 1 point, and a miss also deducts a point.
Game 6 — 2 in order
Two targets flash quickly — first blue, then red — then go dark. Repeat the two in the correct order as fast as possible; once correct, two new targets appear. This tests your field of vision and concentration. Wrong presses or misses don’t deduct points.
User menu settings
Two ways to enter the user menu: (1) during start-up, while the targets flash red/green/blue, hold the menu button until the screen says to release it; (2) during attract mode, hold the menu button until the screen says to release it. Press any target button (not the menu button) to select menu options, choose option 7 (Settings), and confirm with the menu button.
When setting a value, one target ring turns red and one turns green: red target = value −1, green target = value +1, menu button = confirm and go to the next option.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Machine does not start
Check there is a 5 V / 2 A supply; battery empty? wrong supply voltage?
Buttons react strangely
Supply voltage too low — use a supply that delivers at least 2 A at 5 V.
The game goes way too fast
Game time in settings is very short, which makes the game accelerate quickly — extend the game time.
I don’t hear any sound
Turn up the SFX volume (effects) and/or the music volume.
Precautionary measures
The machine is intended for indoor use only and is not designed for outdoor installation. When installing indoors, avoid:
Wet areas.
Flammable materials.
Uneven surfaces.
Blocking emergency exits, fire extinguishers or other emergency equipment — keep them easily accessible.
Places with heavy vibration.
Do not make any modifications to the machine, and always switch it off during maintenance or when leaving it unattended — ensure the power supply is completely disconnected — to prevent electric shock or short circuit.
Specifications may vary or change over time. Verify all specifications prior to purchase. No rights can be derived from this information.
