Small Investment, Big Returns: Why You Need These Games

At Big Top Carnival Co, we talk to event hire business owners and the most common challenge we hear? Increasing the value of a booking without needing a bigger van or more staff.

The solution is simpler than you think: Premium Add-On Games.

Adding "side-stall" style games to your inventory is the fastest way to turn a standard hire into a high-value package. Here’s why these compact powerhouses are the smartest investment you’ll make this year.

Built for the Hustle:

We don’t do flimsy. At Big Top Carnival Co, we manufacture our games using heavy-duty steel box sections and aluminium panels.

While wooden games eventually rot, warp, or splinter, and plastic alternatives crack under the sun, our metal-build games are engineered to survive the high-intensity rigors of the  industry. They are 100% weather-resistant, easy to sanitize, and stay looking brand new event after event, season after season.

Steel Framework: Forget lightweight aluminium or timber. Our steel frames provide the structural integrity needed for daily transport and heavy use. They won't bend, snap, or degrade.

Our Play Boards vs. The Rest: Unlike competitors who use plywood with vinyl stickers that bubble and peel, our panels are incredibly rigid and UV-stable. There is no wood to swell and no vinyl edges to catch.

Long-Term Durability: These aren’t "single-season" toys; they are professional assets. Because they don't degrade like wood, they maintain a their vivid look for years.

ROI in a Heartbeat

The math on adding the games is a winner for any business. Because the upfront cost is low compared to inflatables or mechanical rides, the "break-even" point is incredibly short.

In fact, if your running a "pay-to-play" event like a school fete or a corporate fundraiser the entire investment for the game can be recovered in a single afternoon. Once that unit is paid off, every subsequent hire is pure profit in your pocket.

The "Must-Have" Starter Pack

Looking to expand your range? These four classics are our top sellers for a reason. They pack flat, travel easily, and are instant crowd-pleasers:

Ball in the Bucket: The ultimate skill game that keeps players coming back.

Flying Disk Challenge: High-energy and competitive perfect for teenagers and adults.

We’ve Got Your Back: Warranty & Support

We know that in the hire industry, downtime means lost money. That’s why we stand behind our craftsmanship:

Support.: All our games come with a full 1-year warranty for total peace of mind.

Game Replacement Parts: We know things happen on the road. If a ball goes missing or a component gets misplaced, we have a full range of replacement parts available to purchase. You’ll never have a "dead" asset sitting in your warehouse.
