Almost every enquiry we get includes a version of the same worry: will this fit? It is the right question, and it is usually asked too late — after a venue is booked and a floor plan is fixed.
The good news is that it is answerable in about ten minutes with a tape measure. Here is what to measure, and what people forget.
Footprint is the easy part
Every attraction on this site lists its footprint, and those numbers are the real ones — the space the thing occupies when it is set up, not the size of the box it arrives in.
What the footprint does not include is the space around it. A claw machine needs a metre in front of it for the person playing and the two people watching. A carnival booth needs a throwing lane. Add roughly a metre of clear space on any side a guest will stand on.
Height is where people come unstuck
Function rooms in Singapore are often lower than they look, and inflatables are taller than they look. A standard bouncy castle needs 3.5 m of clearance; plenty of hotel function rooms have 3.0 m once you account for the lighting rig.
Measure to the lowest thing hanging from the ceiling, not to the ceiling itself. Sprinkler heads, projector mounts, and chandeliers all count.
The route in matters as much as the room
An arcade cabinet that fits beautifully in your ballroom is no use if it does not fit in the goods lift. This is the single most common reason a setup fails on the day, and it is entirely avoidable.
- Goods lift internal dimensions, and its weight limit
- Door widths along the route, including any fire doors
- Whether there are steps, and whether there is a ramp
- How far the push is from the loading bay
When in doubt, send a photo
A photo of the space and a rough floor plan takes you two minutes and saves everyone a bad surprise. We will tell you what fits, what does not, and what to swap it for — before you have committed to anything.
