High Striker Hire

The High Striker announces itself — that bang of the hammer on the pad is one of the most attention-grabbing moments you can create on an event floor. Swing hard, drive the striker, beat the score — everyone watching gets it immediately.

Also known as a test your strength or hammer game, High Striker hire has been used at sporting activations, beauty pop-ups and corporate expos — deployed by Exponential Games for clients including Sydney FC, MECCA and V Energy.

How It Works

Participants take two swings using the padded hammer, with each strike generating an individual score. The machine records both attempts and displays a combined total, encouraging friendly competition and repeat challenges.

Difficulty can be adjusted depending on the event environment, however it is typically set to a balanced medium level to allow competitive scoring while remaining achievable for a wide range of participants.

Branding Options

  • Standard Panel Branding
    The machine includes designated brandable panels positioned along the tower and base. These panels allow for logo placement, campaign messaging and sponsor integration while retaining the classic High Striker aesthetic.
    This option is well suited to corporate events and conferences where subtle brand integration is preferred.
  • Full Wrap
    For maximum visual impact, the High Striker can be fully wrapped in custom artwork. A full wrap transforms the entire tower and base into a bold branded feature, making the machine a standout centrepiece within high-traffic environments.
    This option is particularly effective at sporting events, outdoor activations and large-scale public campaigns where strong visual presence is essential.

During consultation, we’ll recommend the branding configuration that best suits your campaign objectives and venue layout.

FAQ

Can the difficulty be adjusted?

Yes. The strike strength setting can be adjusted prior to delivery to suit the event type and target audience.

The difficulty is not user-adjustable during the event and must be configured by our team in advance. It is typically set to a balanced medium level to allow competitive scoring while remaining achievable for a broad range of participants.

Is supervision required?

For corporate environments, the machine can operate independently.

For public events, sporting activations or high-traffic environments, supervision is recommended to ensure safe operation and manage participant flow.

Is the High Striker safe to use?

Yes. The hammer is padded and the strike mechanism is enclosed within the machine. As with any strength-based game, clear participant space should be maintained around the unit during operation.

Can we add a leaderboard?

Yes. A freestanding leaderboard display is available as an optional add-on. This is particularly effective for competitive events, tournaments and timed challenges.
