Why brands choose custom over rental

Not your average game machine rental.

Most event game rentals in Malaysia are commodity. A claw machine is a claw machine. A vending machine is a vending machine. The brand logo gets stuck on the front, the prizes get swapped for branded merch, and that's the activation.

We don't do that.

Instamedia engineers interactive game installations from brief upwards. Every cabinet is fabricated in our Kuala Lumpur workshop. Every game mechanic is coded by our in-house engineering team. Every UI is designed to the brand's standards, not stretched over a stock template. Every output (prize logic, sensor calibration, scoring, share-out, analytics) is built for the campaign, not pulled from a catalogue.


Four reasons brand teams choose us over commodity rentals

  1. 01

    Engineered in-house

    Hardware fabricated and game software coded by our KL team. No third-party licences, no white-label hardware, no timezone delays.

  2. 02

    Brand-trained mechanics

    The game itself, not just the wrapper, is custom to the campaign. Pickleball sensor wall for JD Sports. Cloud-catching for Clarks Cloudstepper. Body-tracked slicing for Tiger Soju.

  3. 03

    Measurable proof

    Our proprietary IMX Engine™ dashboard tracks every play, dwell time, win-rate, share, scan and lead. You leave with proof of impact, not just footage.

  4. 04

    Premium-only roster

    Apple, Toyota, JD Sports, F&N, Tudor, Tiger, Clarks, Hennessy, Astro, Maybank, Nike, Chanel, Dior. 1,625 activations since 2012 for the names you want adjacent to yours.

Our custom game range

Custom builds across eight interactive game formats.

  1. 01

    Custom Claw Machine

    A real claw machine cabinet, branded inside and out, with prize logic, win-rate calibration and analytics built per campaign. We've built fully retail-grade claw machines for product launches where the prize, the cabinet and the UX were all bespoke to the brief. Not a sticker over a rental unit.

  2. 02

    Branded Interactive Vending Machine

    Custom vending machine cabinets with brand-locked dispense logic, touch UI, QR-share, and integrated analytics. Built for retail activations where the vend itself is the brand moment, not just merch dispensing.

  3. 03

    Motion-Tracked Body Games

    Kinect-style and skeletal-tracking games where the guest's body becomes the controller. Branded environments, custom game mechanics, leaderboard logic and share-out. Built for high-engagement activations where guests stay for 60+ seconds and self-broadcast.

    Example: Tiger Soju body-tracking game
  4. 04

    Sensor Wall Games

    Custom-fabricated sensor walls where physical touch, throw or hit triggers branded game logic. Combines fabrication, sensors, real-time scoring and analytics. Suited to sportswear, retail and product-launch activations.

    Example: JD Sports Pickleball sensor wall
  5. 05

    Projection Games

    Floor, wall or table-projection games with foot/motion tracking. The brand controls the environment, the game mechanic and the surface. Used where a physical cabinet would dilute the brand stage.

  6. Custom racing simulator
    06

    Custom Racing Simulator

    Full-cabinet branded racing simulators with custom liveries, branded UI, leaderboard logic and integrated photo/share moments. Built for automotive and lifestyle brands that need a centrepiece installation, not a rented sim seat.

  7. 07

    Web AR Games

    Browser-based augmented reality games (no app install, QR-launch) for retail, mall and out-of-home activations. The brand experience runs on the guest's phone, which means scale without hardware.

  8. Multiplayer browser game
    08

    Multiplayer Browser Games

    Branded multiplayer browser games for activations where multiple guests compete simultaneously (mall events, conferences, broadcast tie-ins). Custom lobby logic, leaderboards, share mechanics.

Answers

Frequently asked questions.

What's a custom event game?

A custom event game is a branded interactive installation built specifically for a brand activation, rather than a rented off-the-shelf game machine. The hardware (cabinet, sensor wall, projection surface, simulator) is fabricated for the campaign, and the game software (mechanic, UI, scoring, share-out, analytics) is engineered to the brand's brief. Instamedia builds these end-to-end from our Kuala Lumpur workshop.

How much does a custom event game cost in Malaysia?

Custom event games from Instamedia start at RM 8,000 for a standard interactive game (existing framework, rebranded). Custom branded builds with bespoke mechanics and branded fabrication start at RM 25,000. Bespoke flagship installations (full custom hardware plus software) are typically RM 60,000 and up, priced on brief. Rental of off-the-shelf game machines is a separate market and not what we do.

How long does it take to build a custom interactive game?

Standard interactive games (existing framework rebranded) ship in 1 to 2 weeks. Custom branded builds with new mechanics need 4 to 6 weeks. Bespoke flagship installations with custom cabinetry, sensors and software need 6 to 12 weeks. Lead time is set at the brief stage so we can plan around your activation date.

Which brands have used Instamedia's custom games?

Across 1,625 activations since 2012, premium brands using Instamedia custom games include Apple (Switch to iPhone claw machine at Sunway Pyramid), Toyota (GR Super GT racing simulator), JD Sports (pickleball sensor wall), F&N (interactive vending machine), Tudor (football projection game), Tiger (Soju body-tracking slicing game), Clarks (Cloudstepper cloud-catching game), Hennessy (CNY web AR game) and Astro (Framed interactive game), among 500+ premium brands.

Can the game be customised to our brand?

Yes. The whole point of working with Instamedia is custom: the cabinet, the game mechanic, the UI, the audio, the prize or scoring logic, the share-out template and the analytics dashboard are all designed around your brand brief. Standard “logo on a rental unit” is not what we do, and it's not what premium activations need.

Do you provide on-site staff for the activation?

Yes. Every Instamedia activation includes on-site setup, brand-team training and a full-day operator across the live event. For multi-day activations and roadshows we provide trained operators across all days. Our team handles technical operations so your brand team can focus on guests, content and PR.

What kind of analytics do you provide?

Our proprietary IMX Engine™ dashboard tracks every interaction in real time: plays, dwell time, win or completion rate, shares, QR scans, lead captures, return plays and venue heat-maps where applicable. Real-time monitoring during the activation, full performance report within 48 hours of the event. Exportable to Excel or CSV for agency reporting.

Do you build custom event games for activations in Singapore?

Yes. Instamedia expanded operations to Singapore in June 2025. We design and engineer custom event games across both Malaysia and Singapore for premium brand activations, with full project management, on-site setup and post-event analytics in both markets.
