Customising Arcade Gaming Events for Different Age Groups
Arcade game events should be a lot of fun, but tailoring them to suit different age groups is key to maximising enjoyment for all attendees. Our wide range of arcade game machines offers versatile options that can be adapted for various age demographics.
Read our advice to see how to make sure all ages have something to enjoy at your event!
- Children and Younger Guests: Younger attendees are drawn to visually appealing and simple-to-play games. Options like Pluck A Duck duck grabber and Strike-a-Light are perfect as they are easy to understand and provide instant gratification. Options with bright colours and engaging sounds, such as the Whack-a-Mole arcade game, are also a hit among the youngest attendees.
- Teenagers and Young Adults: This age group seeks excitement and competition. High-energy games like the racing simulator and the dance machine are ideal. Also, consider including competitive multiplayer games like table football and table tennis, which encourage friendly rivalry and social interaction.
- Adults and Older Attendees: For adults, opt for games that evoke nostalgia or offer a more sophisticated challenge. Retro arcade machines are always excellent choices, while strategy-based games such as the safe cracker can be engaging for this demographic.
- All Ages Arcade Fun: Some games have universal appeal - for instance, the Pixel Play can be enjoyed by any age group. Even more cerebral units such as the Play It Back memory game can be fun for families and people of different ages playing together.
Many modern arcade games allow for adjustable difficulty settings. This feature can be used to tailor games like Batak Pro and Chaos Strike-a-Light to suit different skill levels and ensure that everyone has an enjoyable experience.
It's important to ensure that all games are safe and accessible - especially when hosting an event for all ages. For younger children, avoid games with small parts or complex rules. For older guests, ensure that the games are physically comfortable to play.
For a more enriching experience, include educational games or those that require creative thinking. These can be especially beneficial for younger attendees and can add a valuable dimension to their gaming experience.
