Giant Space Invaders Hire – UK
Relive the 80s – With your feet – STOMP INVADERS exclusive to MiniRacing events.
Forget joysticks and buttons. Our giant Space Invaders arcade machine is played standing up, using a floor-standing dance mat.
Players step left and right to control the cannon, and stomp to fire. It’s a fresh take on a retro classic, and it does what you’d
hope a large games machine does – turn heads and pull a crowd. It’s one of our own builds, designed and made in-house.

How it works
Players control the iconic spaceship using simple, intuitive movements. Stepping on the dance mat moves the cannon across the bottom
of the screen, dodging the descending aliens. A firm stomp on the mat fires the laser. Games last between two and five minutes,
which keeps the queue moving and encourages repeat play. It’s designed for one or two players at a time, offering head-to-head
competition or collaborative gameplay.
Why It Stands Out at Events
This isn’t just about playing a retro arcade game hire; it’s about creating a spectacle. Because the game is played standing up and
with foot controls, players *become* part of the show. Passers-by will stop to watch, and those watching are standing still, right
next to your stand, for the duration of the game. This consistent footfall draws attention and encourages interaction with your
brand. It’s a surprisingly effective piece of exhibition games hire.
Custom Branding Options
The entire screen is customisable. We can replace the artwork with your company logo, colours, event messaging, or even a live
leaderboard. This branded games hire turns a classic arcade machine into a powerful marketing tool, subtly reinforcing your brand
identity throughout the event. The attract screen can be fully customised, and the possibilities are endless for event-specific
content.

Questions we get asked
Will it fit through a standard doorway?
The machine disassembles for transport. While it’s large when built, all components will fit through standard access points. Our
team handles all the build and breakdown.
Do we need to provide event staff
Not necessarily. We can provide trained event staff to run the game if required. It’s an optional extra, dependent on your event
needs.
What kind of floor does it need?
The machine needs a level, flat floor. It can be used indoors, or under solid cover to protect it from the weather.
How long does setup take?
Allow around 45 minutes for our team to build the machine, and about the same time to take it down. We handle everything.
Can we change the game on it?
No. It’s fixed as Space Invaders. The attraction is the familiar gameplay, combined with the unique control method.
What happens if something goes wrong?
It rarely does, but our team are on standby throughout your event to resolve any technical issues quickly. It’s one of our own
builds, and we look after our equipment.
