Top 5 Crowd-Drawing Games for Trade Show Displays

Scrambling last minute to come up with ideas to attract a crowd to your trade show booth? Look no further! We've compiled a list of tried-and-true games that have proven to draw in a crowd at trade show displays.

1. Putt-putt Golf

A miniature golf course at your trade show display is a great way to attract people across all ages. No need to build an 18-hole course on the trade show floor... Simply set up a couple of putting greens, bring a few putters, and let the games begin. Incorporate awesome branded promotional merchandise for winners to walk away with to stay top-of-mind.

2. Spinning Wheel

Who doesn't love the gamble of spinning the wheel? Draw in excitement to your trade show display by cheering the spinner on to win big! Tip to boost crowd appeal: Feature unique trade show giveaways on the wheel that other trade show booths are not handing out to connect with your visitors and stand out from the crowd.

3. Basketball Hoop

Turn your trade show booth into an ESPN zone by setting up a basketball contest, leader board and all! Collect the participants names and offer unique promotional products for the high-scoring players to win at the end of the trade show, bringing the crowd back to your trade show booth for another visit.

4. Balloon Pop

Add a "pop!" factor to your trade show booth with a good old-fashioned balloon pop set up. The loud sound when the dart hits the balloon is an effective way to draw the attention of passerbys, and custom promotional prizes for the winners to walk away with will be sure to reel in a crowd.

5. Trivia With a Twist

Step up your social media game by adding a modern twist to this classic trade show activity. Ask your booth visitors to follow your brand on Twitter to participate, and tweet out the trivia questions for their response. Round up the responses each hour and select a winner at random to come back and claim their prize. Boost brand awareness on social media while gifting awesome swag!
