Immersive experiences are the new currency of modern marketing, and this past weekend Creative Arcades delivered one that stopped guests in their tracks. Set at a private estate alongside the legendary Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, our collaboration with global fashion icon Marc Jacobs transformed a poolside setting into an interactive playground. Featuring two fully customized, chrome-finished claw machines glowing with premium LED lighting and bold branded marquees, the installation became a magnet for attention. Guests didn’t just admire—it pulled them in, creating a dynamic, hands-on moment that perfectly showcased why arcade machines for brand activations continue to dominate high-end event experiences.
The custom setup was designed to match Marc Jacobs’ bold and modern aesthetic, with glowing marquees and branded panels that elevated the machines into true statement pieces. Inside, we supplied our signature 5” clear prize balls (https://creative-arcades.com/collections/claw-machines/products/5-inch-clear-plastic-prize-balls-for-claw-machines), each filled with winning cards redeemable for exclusive Marc Jacobs items like designer sunglasses and curated gifts. Surrounding the machines, the brand created a stunning visual environment—featuring mirrored circular panels embedded into geometric wall structures, reflecting both the crowd and the machines in a way that amplified the experience. The result was not just a game, but a fully immersive, shareable moment that blended fashion, fun, and interactive engagement seamlessly.
This activation highlights exactly why arcade machine rentals for conventions, corporate events, and brand activations are in such high demand. First, they create instant interaction—guests don’t just observe, they participate. Second, they offer built-in gamification, which drives longer engagement times and repeat plays. Third, they provide a highly customizable branding surface, allowing companies to turn machines into living advertisements. And finally, they generate organic social media exposure, as guests naturally capture and share their experience. At Creative Arcades, we specialize in delivering these results with the largest selection of arcade machines in the United States, offering both sales and rentals that are tailored to elevate any event.
Our rental program is designed to be as seamless as the experience itself: clients purchase the machine upfront, enjoy it throughout their event, and upon acceptable return with no damage, receive a 50% refund of the purchase price—making it a smart and flexible investment. We ship nationwide, offer full custom artwork wraps for all machines, and support everything from company parties to large-scale brand activations. This Marc Jacobs project was a massive success, earning us glowing 5-star reviews on both BBB and Google, and reinforcing our reputation as a leader in the space.
