Interactive Games
Competition That’s Friendly and Fun!
Our Interactive Games dramatically enhance open-play fun and league competition by allowing bowlers to compete against each other from lane to lane. In-center marketing materials come included.
Championship Racing
Race your car to the finish line by achieving goals — strikes, spares, etc. But watch out. If you cross the foul line, the car moves backward. First car to cross the finish line wins!
Fast Lane
Here, the computer randomly selects goals—strikes, spares, etc. Points are only awarded for goals when they are displayed and the lane with the most points at the end of the time period wins.
Perfection
With Perfection, your bowlers decide by setting their own list of goals—strikes, spares, etc. The game will display the list of goals still needed to win and the first lane to complete all goals wins.
Pick-A-Prize Event
Each team simply selects one of three doors to reveal their prize.
Speed Strike
The lane that bowls a strike the fastest after being cued wins. All participating lanes and times of strikes are displayed.
Tug-O-War
Here, the required number of strikes is set at the start with each strike moving the rope in the team’s direction. The first team to reach the required number of strikes wins.
Walking Pin
As bowlers achieve center-defined goals, this special pin walks from lane to lane.

Digital Signage
Build Awareness, Build Sales

Digital Signage software lets you display everything from a live waiting-list to ads for your latest promotions. And with available new Samsung monitors, now everything on the screen is displayed in HD.
The system’s intuitive user interface makes it easy to input and update display content and establish or modify display schedules. It comes with an extensive library of customizable ad templates, marketing and promotional videos, and promotional material for open bowling, league bowling, Cosmic Bowling®, snack bar, parties, pro shop and more.
Display lane assignments and advertises products and services with continuous scrolling text messaging, as well as wait lists and price menus in real time. Will also display live scoring to create added excitement during competitive play, rewarding competitive bowlers by showing high scores after each game or over the entire season.
Digital Signage even generates additional income streams through sales of advertising to other local businesses. Ads are automatically tracked and verified on the system with “proof of play” reports. Off-site flexibility allows you to manage your marketing from anywhere with full accessibility to your system via the Internet.
Internet Reservations
Online and On Target
This newly enhanced feature gives you a direct line to droves of Internet-age convenience-cravers, letting them make reservations at your center online, anytime. Guests can share these reservations online via social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter, giving you bonus buzz. And customers can now make Internet reservations from your Facebook page or with the app using only their Facebook sign-in info, instead of having to set up a log-in for your site. They can even coordinate their Internet Reservations with evite to send online invitations to group events at your center. And the entire app is designed and optimized for smart phones – a Brunswick exclusive.
This system also lets bowlers add food, beverages or a specific party package to their online reservation. If lanes are all full at the time, customers can add their names to the waiting list, and track their spot in line.
Of course you maintain final control and can restrict reservations availability by days, time periods and/or lanes. Finally, the app accelerates revenues (and minimizes no-shows) by letting you collect deposits or full payments with reservations.
