Pinball is such a beloved game that it even holds a few spots in the Guinness World Records. In 2015, an astounding 331 people set a record for simultaneously playing pinball.
That lasting popularity and wide appeal among age groups make it the perfect game to rent for your event.
Of course, you have a lot of choices for a pinball machine rental. Here's how to choose one for your event.
Condition of the Machine
When considering a pinball machine, you want to make sure that it's in good working condition. If you're renting one for an event, reading online reviews is a great way to learn more about the company, and the shape of the machines rented out for parties and events.
Any reputable rental company will have the machines in excellent condition and include any necessary accessories.
Pinball Machines Themes
There are so many types of pinball machines out there, including a wide array of themed ones. There are superhero-themed options, machines based on movies and television, cartoon ones, and so on. Some of the more popular options include Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, and The Addams Family.
First, consider your audience. Will there be a lot of children there, or is it mostly adults? What age group are you trying to appeal to?
It's a good idea to talk to the company about the different game and pinball rentals they offer. If you want a particular theme, ask your company if they have it.
Finding a Company You Can Trust
While you can find plenty of people offering pinball machine rentals as a side gig, you're better off going with an established company. For one, you can read reviews and testimonials and make sure that you're getting your money's worth.
A company that caters to corporate employees and event planners is more likely to stand behind its products and offer guarantees.
Plus, you're more likely to have any questions answered in a truthful and reliable fashion. For example, you might have questions about free play or a month rental. If you have questions or special circumstances, you want a company that responds to you in a timely manner. Maintaining a professional attitude.
Other Games to Go With It
If you're getting a pinball machine rental for an event, you might want to add on other games to offer a variety of different activities. Maybe you want arcade games, a foosball table, or giant-sized lawn games. You can also rent photo booths, inflatables, and much more.
If you're catering to a specific audience, aim for other games and activities you think they'd like, along with the pinball machine.
