Snatch or Catch

Choose Your Snatch or Catch Format

Every event is different, which is why we have built Snatch or Catch in three formats. Each one delivers the same addictive gameplay, scaled to suit your space, audience and objectives.

Snatch or Catch Classic

The original head-to-head format and a proven crowd pleaser. The Classic is ideal for one or two players and fits comfortably on most exhibition stands.

• Size: D 150cm x H 205cm
• Weight: 45kg
• Power: 500-watt supply
• Branding on plinths, top banner and leaderboard

Snatch or Catch Multiplayer

Bigger, bolder and built for competition. The Multiplayer format welcomes two to eight players or more at once, making it perfect for team challenges, fan zones and high footfall activations.

• Size: 4.5m (W) x 2.2m (H)
• Power: 3.0 amps
• LED lighting
• Branding on plinths, top banner, leaderboard and targets

Snatch or Catch Expo Roadshow

Designed for smaller stands, pop-up spaces and touring campaigns. The compact plinth takes up just 600mm x 600mm, with a V-shaped overhead truss holding the targets, so you get the full Snatch or Catch experience without sacrificing valuable floor space. Its high-intensity play makes it a firm favourite at sports events.

• Plinth footprint: 600mm x 600mm
• V-shaped overhead truss
• Branding on plinth, truss and targets

Which Format Is Right for Your Event?

• Choose the Classic if you want the original head-to-head experience on a standard exhibition stand or at a conference. It suits one or two players and has a compact footprint of D 150cm x H 205cm.
• Choose the Multiplayer if you're expecting high footfall or want to run team challenges. It welcomes two to eight players or more across a 4.5m wide frame, making it ideal for fan zones and large brand activations.
• Choose the Expo Roadshow if floor space is at a premium or your campaign is on the move. Its 600mm x 600mm plinth fits smaller stands, pop-ups and touring events, and its high-intensity play makes it a favourite at sports events.

Game Formats and Scoring Options

Snatch or Catch is highly versatile, and we can tailor the gameplay to support whatever your event needs to achieve.

• Point values: Assign different scores to specific targets to add strategy and suspense.
• Bonus targets: Include a bonus baton worth double points to keep every round unpredictable.
• Team tournaments: Run knockout rounds or daily leaderboards to keep visitors engaged across the whole event.
• Real prizes: Hang prizes or products in place of targets, so players catch what they win.

Tell us what you want your visitors to do, whether that is spending longer on your stand, sharing their experience or handing over their details, and we will shape the game around it.

Custom Branding

Snatch or Catch is designed to carry your brand from every angle, so your message stays in view long after the final catch.

• Plinth panels
• Banner across the top of the truss
• Supercar-style leaderboard
• Branded targets

The targets themselves can be designed to look like almost anything: drink cans, footballs, confectionery, tech products or soft toys. Players end up catching your product, which makes for a memorable brand moment and great photo content. Explore our branding options.
