What the double basketball arcade is and how it works
Double basketball arcade hire brings the classic arcade and funfair machine to your event: players shoot at two hoops at once to rack up the highest score before time runs out.
- An automatic system detects every basket and adds the points to the scoreboard in real time.
- Each game lasts between 1 and 3 minutes, and the time can be adjusted.
- Two people usually play at once, each on their own hoop, and up to four can play.
- No fouls and no complicated rules: it's all about accuracy, speed and coordination.
Basketball shootout tournament for events: game and contest ideas
The double basketball hoop offers much more than one-off games. With games lasting 1 to 3 minutes and two scoreboards in full view, it is easy to set up a basketball tournament for events that keeps the crowd hooked for hours. The key is choosing the format to suit the type of event and the number of guests.
- Head-to-head knockout: two players per game, whoever scores most goes through until the grand final.
- Department league: each team adds up its players' points and the standings are shared throughout the event.
- Record of the day: a board with the top score and a prize for whoever beats it before closing time.
- Beat the boss: a staff party classic that always packs the spectator area.
For the tournament to run smoothly, we recommend having someone to manage the match-ups, collect the balls and get the crowd going. That way the arcade basketball machine becomes the heart of the party rather than just another game. We take it to team building sessions, conventions and town festivals in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and the rest of Spain.

Basketball arcade for trade show stands and brand activations
In a hall full of stands, anything that moves and makes noise draws attention. The basketball hoop for exhibition stands has exactly that effect: two people competing, the score climbing and a group of onlookers gathering round. It is a simple way to turn passing visitors into conversations with your sales team.
- Constant draw: short games mean plenty of rotation, and there is always someone playing or waiting their turn.
- Time to talk: while one person plays, their companions wait on the stand and your team can look after them.
- Best shot prize: a contest with a daily prize gives people reasons to come back and to leave their contact details.
- Your brand in every photo: the side panels take artwork with your logo or campaign colours, visible in every picture of the game.
For trade fairs and conferences, it is worth checking access to the hall, as the hoop arrives dismantled; assembly takes around 30 minutes. If you want the machine branded, allow at least 2 weeks to prepare the finishes. It is a basketball brand activation that works at trade shows as well as sports events and shopping centre promotions.
