Written by the Corporate Arcade Hire team Melbourne's only corporate-first arcade hire specialist

Every guide in this blog is written by the team that delivers hundreds of corporate arcade hire events across Australia each year. We’ve set up machines at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, ICC Sydney, and Brisbane Convention Centre. We’ve branded machines for Chemist Warehouse, Mazda, Mobil 1, and eBay. We’ve delivered to company Christmas parties, product launches, national roadshows, and black tie gala dinners.
When we write about corporate arcade hire, we’re writing from direct experience — not from research. That’s the difference between a guide that actually helps you plan your event and one that just fills a page.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Who writes the Corporate Arcade Hire blog?

very guide is written by the Corporate Arcade Hire team — the people who plan, deliver, and manage hundreds of arcade hire events across Australia each year. We write from direct operational experience, not from research or generalist content writing. When we describe how delivery to the Melbourne Convention Centre works, it’s because we do it regularly.

How often is new content published?

We publish two new guides every month — on the first and third Tuesday of each month. All content is reviewed and updated every six months to ensure accuracy, especially pricing guides and venue-specific articles where details change.

Are these guides relevant outside of Melbourne?

Yes. While we are Melbourne-based, we service corporate arcade hire events nationally. Our guides cover arcade hire across Australia including Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional areas. Where advice is Melbourne-specific, we say so clearly.

Can I use these articles to brief my team or client?

Absolutely. Our guides are written to be practical and shareable. If you’re briefing a client on what to expect from arcade hire, or convincing a budget holder to approve arcade entertainment for a corporate event, feel free to share the relevant article.

How do I get a quote after reading an article?

Every article links to our contact page where you can submit a free no-obligation enquiry. You can also call us directly or email — contact details are in the site footer and the contact page. We respond to all enquiries within 24 hours.
