Where fan groups go
before and after.
Bowling alleys, arcades, leisure centres — match day comes with hours to fill, and fans fill them in groups. Get your venue on their itinerary.
Pay-for-performance, start to finish
The opportunity
Sports fans book activities in groups.
Match day is rarely just the ninety minutes. Groups meet early, kill the hours before kick-off, and want somewhere to keep the day going after the final whistle — and a group that bowls together spends together.
On Game Set Engage, checking in at your venue earns fans more points than staying home — each club sets the exact values — and your group offer gives the organiser of the day a reason to route everyone through your doors.
Your venue appears inside the club’s campaign — and campaigns can run all week, not just on match day, so quiet Tuesdays benefit too.
Why entertainment venues win
Group activities + sports fans = full lanes.
Pre-match activities
A round of bowling or an hour in the arcade is how groups burn the hours before an evening fixture — and it starts the day at your venue.
Post-match celebrations
After the whistle, the group wants somewhere to keep the day going. Give them a reason to make you the next stop.
Club social events
Clubs run socials, team nights, and end-of-season parties all year — venues that host them become part of the club's calendar.
The family-friendly option
Not every fan wants a bar. For families and younger supporters, your venue is the match day destination that works for everyone.
Your offer, your rules
Offers that pull the whole group in.
You set it per match day campaign — and once a club approves your partnership, you can publish standing deals of your own to its fans, on the days you choose. What works for entertainment venues:
Group activity discounts
20% off bowling for groups of four or more — priced for the party, not the person.
Match day packages
Lane hire plus food and drinks in one bundle makes you the plan, not a stop on it.
Free arcade credits
A small freebie per check-in gets the group through the door; the rest of the visit pays for it.
Club event hosting
Offer your space for club socials and team nights — one event puts your venue in front of the whole fanbase.

Common questions from entertainment venues.
Any entertainment venue with a physical location can apply — bowling alleys, arcades, laser tag centres, leisure complexes, trampoline parks, escape rooms, mini-golf courses, and more.
From their own phones. A fan at your venue opens their club’s campaign in the Game Set Engage app and shows you a QR code; you approve it from your venue dashboard on any phone or laptop. No tablets, no till integration, no hardware.
Match days drive the most traffic, but campaigns can run for any duration the club chooses — some run week-long campaigns, giving fans multiple days to check in. You can also run standing offers on the weekdays you pick.
A small fee per confirmed check-in. No setup fees, no monthly subscription, no minimum commitment — you only pay when a fan actually shows up and you confirm their visit.
Yes. Each campaign partnership is separate, so you can set a different offer for each one — 20% off bowling for a football campaign and a free game of laser tag for a rugby campaign.
