Start with the same brief
Send the same brief to every supplier. If each one gets different information, the prices you get back cannot be compared. Our 8-point brief checklist is a good starting point.
Six things to compare
- Is there a prototype to try first? Do you see the real game before you decide, or only still images?
- Visuals and revision rounds: how far can the game take on your brand visuals, and how many rounds of changes are included?
- When is it tested on the real screen? Before show day, or does the first problem appear when the booth opens?
- Who is on site? If the game freezes at two in the afternoon, who fixes it, and how fast?
- What is not included: are the screen, computer, and player data collection written down clearly?
- Can the game be reused? Does the next event mean paying for a new build, or only changing the content?
How JPM Media Space answers
| Point | What you get from us |
|---|---|
| Prototype first | One prototype version to try before you decide |
| Testing before opening | We test the whole system before the event opens |
| Team on site | The team who wrote the program is on site from opening to close |
| Screens | Not included. The game runs on your screen or the organiser’s |
| Reuse | A system you can update, move, or build on |
| After the show | A summary of players and engagement (if you want it) |

Cheaper does not mean better value
A cheaper quote with nobody on site can cost more on the day the game freezes in front of your customers. If you have a question about any line in our quote, just ask and we will explain every item. To see what usually goes into the total, read what a booth game budget includes.

FAQ
Should we just pick the cheapest quote?
Compare the six points above first. Whatever is not included often becomes a cost later.
Should we ask about file rights?
Yes. Ask whether you can use the game at your next event, and what that would cost.
What does “on-site support” mean?
For us, it means the technical team who built that game stays at the booth from opening to close, ready to fix any problem straight away.
