Gravity Challenger is the classic dead-hang challenge, re-engineered and gamified by the MadeforArcade team into a fully automated, unattended crowd magnet.
The rules read themselves: step up to the platform, grab the height-adjustable bar, raise your feet and the counter starts. Stay clear of the laser sensor grid and hang on as long as you can. Invisible detector beams, a smart computer controller and automated electronics make the game safer, faster and completely hands-off — no attendant required.
Why it works on the floor
A hang-time contest is instantly understood and irresistibly competitive — players line up to beat the high score while a crowd gathers to watch the clock climb. Because the unit is fully automated, it attracts and holds visitors while your staff stay focused on their work. Air time is measured internally to 1/1,000,000 of a second and displayed in 1/1000 of a second, so every attempt feels exact, fair and worth one more try. Automatic high-score capture (saved to non-volatile memory) and anti-cheat detection keep the leaderboard honest, and the extremely fast, accurate sensor array means the result is never in dispute. The longer the dwell, the longer your brand is in front of the crowd.
Make it your message
Spectators watch the players — but they notice your branding even more. Two large branding panels are available as an option: add four metal holders and two full-colour banners and the machine becomes a powerful marketing display that is impossible to miss. Send us your artwork and we handle the rest, delivering a plug-and-play, turn-key unit. Programmable lights and sounds can be fully personalised for your event — for fun or for fitness — making it a natural fit for trade shows, gyms, events and brand activations.
