Who We Are

Melbourne's Only Corporate-First Arcade Hire Specialist

Corporate Arcade Hire does one thing — and does it better than anyone else in Melbourne. We specialise in premium, custom-branded arcade machine hire for corporate events and functions, and we’re the only arcade hire company in Melbourne with a dedicated in-house print team. That means your machine is wrapped in your brand, built to your brief, and arrives at your venue ready to work — with no third parties, no delays, and no surprises on the day.

We don’t do jumping castles. We don’t do party packs. We exist for one purpose: delivering branded, interactive arcade experiences that make your brand impossible to ignore and your event impossible to forget. From bespoke full-machine wraps to custom digital leaderboards, every piece of kit we deliver is designed to work as hard as your marketing budget demands.

The Idea Behind It All

A Simple Idea — With a Surprisingly Powerful Effect

At the heart of everything we do is a simple idea: bring people together through fun, nostalgia, and experiences they didn’t expect.

Every event is different, every client is unique — and that’s what keeps us inspired. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a room come alive with laughter, friendly competition, and shared experiences.

— Corporate Arcade Hire

The nostalgia effect

For guests who grew up in the arcade era, the sounds and controls trigger an immediate and powerful response — they’re not just playing a game, they’re reliving something.

The first-timer reaction

For guests experiencing these machines for the first time, the reaction is different but equally genuine — a real discovery of why these games captured the world’s imagination.

Why it works at corporate events

The context where people most need to connect, relax, and genuinely enjoy themselves is exactly where the arcade machine effect is most powerful — and most unexpected.

What Sets Us Apart

Corporate-First. In-House. Turnkey. Always.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT

We Love What We Do — and It Shows

Every event is different. Every client is unique. That’s not a tagline — it’s the thing that genuinely keeps us excited about showing up. We’ve delivered for 500-person Melbourne conferences and intimate 15-person team building afternoons, for household-name brands and boutique agencies, in CBD hotel ballrooms, Southbank event spaces, rooftop venues, and the Melbourne Convention Centre.

The moment the room shifts — Usually within 20 minutes of the machine going live — the energy changes, people who've been making polite conversation for an hour are suddenly competing and calling each other out on a bad score.
The unexpected competitors — It's never who you expect. The quiet person from accounts turns out to be ferociously competitive. The senior manager demands a rematch. These are the moments people talk about on Monday.
The host looks like a genius — We want you to be the person who chose something unexpected and had it work brilliantly — because that's exactly what a well-placed arcade machine does at a Melbourne corporate event.

From artwork approval to cable management on event day — the small things are the difference between a good event and a great one.

We have never cancelled a Melbourne booking or failed to deliver on time — in an industry where your event depends on your suppliers turning up, that record matters.

We care about arcade machines — the history, the design, the games, the nostalgia — and that passion comes through in how we work.

No two Melbourne events get the same brief — we tailor machine selection, branding, and service delivery to your specific event, guest profile, and objectives.
