Welcome to Gravity Challenger ™ , the ultimate test of upper-body strength, grip endurance, and pure willpower. Re-engineered into a high-stakes, fully automated arcade experience, this arena pits you directly against the clock and the leaderboard. Whether you’re hanging from above or locking out from below, the floor is lava—and the only way to win is to stay airborne.
THE DEAD HANG (Pull / Grip Endurance) Reach up, grab the bar, and let your body hang. This mode tests forearms, grip strength, and back endurance. Lift your feet, stay clear of the laser sensors, and hold on as long as you can. THE SUPPORT HOLD (Push / Tricep & Core Lockout) Grasp the handles, push yourself up, and lock out your arms. This mode challenges your triceps, shoulders, chest, and core stability. Keep your position suspended above the platform—the instant you drop or break form, the clock stops.
Use your own computer / screen system, or select our massive 55″ touchscreen pre-programmed kiosk to shows the live countdown and cheers while the screen shows the dynamic live-updating leaderboard as the player tries to hang on and get higher scores. The game has automatic high-score capture, anti-cheat detection , admin settings , analytics and can be personalised to match brands and products.

Gravity Challenge™ is the classic dead hang and support hold challenge, re-engineered and gamified by the MadeforArcade team into a fully automated, unattended crowd magnet.
STEP UP, HANG ON, ENTER THE TOP-10
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.

Questions
Can it be branded with our design?
Yes — most machines can be branded by our design department per your specifications. Simply send your artwork and our team will go to work for you, delivering a turn-key custom-branded solution.
Do you provide warranty on your machines?
Absolutely! Each machine comes standard with a 1-year full service and parts warranty at any of our service centers, no questions asked. You can extend warranty to a full 2 years by clicking the option box above (highly recommended). See our T&C for details.
Do you ship to my country?
Yes — for sales we ship worldwide; for rentals we prefer to limit shipping to Western Europe. And if you have your own carrier account (FedEx, DHL, etc.) you can always arrange to have your order picked up from our service centers.
How are products packed?
For trucking, train or air cargo, crating is needed — check the option box above to add the custom wooden protective crating the carrier requires. If you arrange your own pickup, crating is optional and may save you the cost of having a custom frame built.

Yes — we can pre-load prizes, capsules, tokens or your own media so the machine arrives play-ready for your event.
Is it plug-and-play, or do we need a technician?
Most machines arrive pre-programmed and plug-and-play; setup takes minutes. For live events you can opt to have tech support as back-up per WhatsApp if you ever need a hand — see our service contract for expedited on-call assistance.
