Our Buzzwire Game

Formats

Standard Wire Desktop Systems

Overview: This is the traditional game format and our most popular product. It incorporates a ring-end wand that the player passes along a solid steel pre-bent wire. The standard wand can be sized and shaped to alter the difficulty variable. Stock Sizes Offered (but not limited to): Large / Standard = 1150mm wide x 750mm tall x 300mm depth (Arsenal) Medium = 750mm wide x 750mm tall x 300mm depth Small = 550mm wide x 600mm tall x 300mm depth (Daring Dairy) Lighting Response: The game features bright LED lighting in a choice of colours which will react and flash to the slightest of wire contacts. Lighting can be positioned either on the base or around the optional acrylic backboard if selected. Sound Response: You have three options here. We make games with a traditional alarm bell ring, an electronic beeping sound or, new for 2017, any sound you care to choose! Yes anything! Cows, explosions, laughter, sirens, or indeed a short marketing message for your brand! Once again, Gamebuilders are first to market with this fantastic new and innovative extra feature! Wire Shape: The wire bend can be a simple wave shape (Arsenal) or can be tailor-made to follow text or a logo outline (Vivid Drinks). Custom wire shapes are specially machined and extra charges will apply subject to complexity. IMPORTANT NOTE: All of our traditional format games use a minimum of 8mm gauge stainless steel so that the bend structure is solid and will not flex or wobble in use. Failure to use a suitable gauge steel dramatically reduces both playability and authenticity and will ultimately aggravate the player. We know this - we've been making these games too long! Don't be fooled by cheaper alternatives using thinner, unstable wires. It's a false economy! Base Unit and optional backboard: Customers can fully brand the base (Vivid Drinks), the Backboard (HP) or both to add branding style and messaging. Illuminated backboards have to be made in acrylic. Many parts are interchangeable meaning that your game can be updated / modified year-on-year to remain on trend for ongoing marketing activities.

Inverted Format Desktop Systems

Overview: In situations where the path required is difficult or impossible to follow using our bent wires, we can reverse engineer the concept much like the popular kids game "Operation". With this design modification, a player uses a T-bar wand and must pass it along a channel cut into an acrylic sheet without touching either edge. Once again, our wands can be sized for easy and/or difficult game play. Sizes Offered (but not limited to): Large / Standard = 1150mm wide x 750mm tall x 300mm depth (CPhl) Medium = 750mm wide x 750mm tall x 300mm depth Lighting Response: The game features bright LED lighting in a choice of colours which will react and flash to the slightest of wire contacts. Lighting can be positioned either on the base or around the acrylic material. Add some dynamic effects using UV reactive materials and UV LED lighting for promotional activity in darker conditions! Sound Response: As with the traditional format, we make games with a standard alarm bell ring, an electronic beeping sound or new for 2017, a sound bite of your choice will play when wire contact is made. Acrylic Shape: The clear acrylic Perspex sheet usually has an outline cut into it (CPhl) but can also be shaped to follow your graphic. Our design team can advise on what is and is not possible. Base Unit and optional backboard: Customers can fully brand the base, the backboard or both to add branding style and messaging. Illuminated backboards have to be made in acrylic. Many parts are interchangeable meaning that your game can be updated / modified year-on-year to remain on trend for ongoing marketing activities.

Exhibition Stand Kit Systems

Overview: We are often asked to create a buzzwire game that can be integrated into a trade or exhibition stand - either on a wall or as part of a modular podium. This is no problem for us and we have extensive experience in this sector having made many systems for this very application. Games are built as modular kits which are easy to fit to your stand display. If you are not comfortable doing this, we will happily send an engineer up to install for you. Sizes Offered: Designs will be limited in size by stability requirements. Larger graphics can be “buzzwire matched” but may need to be built in sections. Each project will be individually assessed for feasibility. Pre-production visuals are always offered prior to build. See our Terex Truck giant buzzwire which has been submitted to Guinness in application for a world record! Lighting Response: Our Stand kit includes a feed for 12v LED lighting and we supply with a 5 metre length of sticky-back LED tape or pod lights. There is a choice of colours – Red, Green, Blue, Orange or White. This means that your stand-builder can apply lighting to a position of their choosing once the stand is built. Sound Response: As with our desktop models, we can make games with an alarm bell ring, an electronic beeping sound or in some cases subject to electronic design, we can record a sound bite of your choosing to play when wire contact is made. There is also a sound isolation switch allowing you to mute the bell should the regular ringing prove to be an irritation to your staff or stand neighbours after several days of use! Control Box: Our modular design features an electronics control box containing the entire system. This is fully portable and has fool-proof connectors allowing you to take the box off the stand at night and get it home for re-charging should you not have access to power on the stand. The box can be positioned in any location near to the wire allowing the wand cable to reach across the width of the stand. For solid-state reliability reasons, this product is only offered with our standard electronics system.

Overview: This is our stand-alone custom built buzzwire game designed to create maximum impact and theatre.
