6 Crowd-Attracting Games with Built-In Giveaways

Promotional games have one job: to stop people in their tracks. But the best games don’t just attract a crowd—they deliver brand value, engagement, and giveaways all in one. If you’re an agency professional or a promotional product buyer looking to generate more excitement and metrics at your next activation, trade show, or retail event, this is your new playbook.

Below are six games built to entertain while seamlessly integrating branded giveaways. Each is a crowd magnet with built-in utility, creativity, and the potential for huge ROI (Return on Interaction).

1. Light-Up Drop to Win

This mini game delivers maximum flash. When players drop a puck into this illuminated prize plinko, they win whatever prize it lands on—gift cards, keychains, snacks, even promo products you want to clear out.

  • Perfect For: Trade shows, high-traffic lobbies, retail environments
  • Built-In Giveaway: Pre-assigned prize slots deliver instant gratification
  • Tip: Offer tiered prize levels to draw people back for a second round

2. Branded Prizewheel

It’s a classic for a reason. Our custom dry erase prizewheel allows you to rotate offers, prizes, or even trivia questions—giving your sales team a tool that can evolve with the event’s flow.

  • Perfect For: Booth traffic drivers, retail, healthcare fairs
  • Built-In Giveaway: Everyone wins something—stickers, lanyards, bottle openers
  • Creative Use: Let participants earn spins by completing a demo or signing up

3. ChipHole

Think cornhole meets golf. ChipHole’s compact design makes it a smart fit for both indoor and outdoor spaces, while its scoring system turns your branded chips or golf balls into irresistible keepsakes.

  • Perfect For: Corporate outings, beer gardens, rooftop activations
  • Built-In Giveaway: Branded golf balls or tees with your logo stay with the player
  • Advanced Strategy: Run tournaments and give prizes per round

4. Tabletop Tic-Tac-Toe

Laser-cut for precision, this game looks sharp on any table. It’s ideal for cocktail receptions, casual lounges, or client waiting areas. Use the branded Xs and Os as giveaways (or raffle entries).

  • Perfect For: Client appreciation lounges, networking mixers
  • Built-In Giveaway: Custom-printed playing pieces make memorable swag
  • Bonus Play: Add a QR code to unlock a bonus offer

5. Pickleball Six-Pack

The game is booming, and now your brand can ride the wave.

  • Perfect For: Dealer loader programs, fitness-centric promos, tech company launches
  • Built-In Giveaway: Players take home branded paddles or ball sleeves
  • Pro Tip: Host a mini clinic with prizes for best rally, longest volley, etc.

6. Painted Topple Tower

Oversized. Colorful. Impossible to ignore. This 3-foot tall tower lets you print a message on every block—use it to reward players who draw giveaway pieces (each block = a gift).

  • Perfect For: Corporate activations, campus events, rooftop bars
  • Built-In Giveaway: Number each block and tie it to a specific prize tier
  • Sales Angle: Pitch it as a recurring engagement station at multi-day events

Strategic Takeaway

Games like these don’t just entertain. They multiply touchpoints, increase dwell time, and deliver measurable marketing moments with staying power. The giveaways built into each experience act as portable reminders of your brand.

Smart marketers aren’t just buying games—they’re using them to engineer outcomes. Whether that’s a lead scan, social share, or a quick survey, the goal is more than fun—it’s functional interaction.

“Highly Recommend!”

“First time using this supplier and WOW are we happy. We did a self-promo of their Tailgate Cornhole and their Fast Four game. They are beautiful and they arrived in under 2 weeks… to Canada! Ordering was very easy, uploading our very large artwork file was easy, and dealing with them has been a breeze. Jackie, the account manager, is helpful and great to deal with. Highly recommend.”

“Hidden Gem of a Supplier!”

“I am totally wowed by their customer service. Quick responses, patient artwork services, and much faster than quoted production. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but it’s rare that a supplier treats us better than we treat our customers. I often have the thought, ‘wow…if I treated my customers this way….’ With this supplier, those same words are going through my head, but I’m thinking we need to step up our game. As I was getting impatient on our 8th round of artwork (we turned it over to them at round 5), they were kind and responsive and just got it done. Hidden gem of a supplier I had no idea existed. Thanks—well done.”

– A Happy Customer

“Fastest Shipping Ever!”

“This is THE supplier for cornhole boards!! Friendly, quick response, and received an art proof the same day. Shipping was FAST and I mean FAST. Received the order two days after placing it. From sending the artwork to customer receiving the product was 4 business days.”

– Thrilled Customer
