The Gold Bar Challenge is one of our newest and most eye-catching games! You may have seen this game online before, but have you ever seen it in person?
The game is a guaranteed showstopper and one of the most exciting interactive games for events. Perfect for grabbing attention, driving engagement, and creating memorable moments, this game is ideal for corporate events, exhibitions, brand activations, parties, and conferences.
With the striking gold bar displayed on a rich-red cushion inside the clear box, the game attracts attention instantly! Players must remove the gold bar from the clear box using just one hand. It sounds simple… until they feel the surprising weight of the bar and the pressure of the crowd. Every attempt builds suspense, making it irresistible to watch and even more tempting to try.
CUSTOMISABLE DIFFICULTY - The challenge is tough but achievable. If you’d like to make it a little easier for participants, we can adjust the position of the opening — or even increase its size on request.
FULLY BRANDABLE - The Gold Bar Challenge can be fully customised with your branding. Our in-house print team can wrap the plinth on all four sides, making it perfect for promoting your brand, theme, or product.
If you want a fun, high-impact attraction that gets your stand noticed and keeps people talking, the Gold Bar Challenge is the perfect choice.

The aim of the game is to remove the gold bar from the box by manoeuvring it through a small hole in the Perspex, using only your hands. The rules of the game can be set by you, for example only one hand can be used, or you must remove the bar within a set time limit.
Change the difficulty by selecting one of three different Perspex panes. We offer two different panes with the circular hole either at the top, in the middle or at the bottom of the pane. Each Perspex provides a different challenge, increasing or decreasing the difficulty throughout your event.
This challenge may seem simple at first glance, but don’t be fooled. The sheer weight of the gold bar combined with the limited size of the hole, makes this game far more difficult than it appears. Precision, patience, and steady hands are essential, as even the smallest miscalculation can turn an easy task into a real test of skill.
You may decide to add one of our branded leaderboards to the game to encourage passers-by to attempt the challenge.
