LED towers, sensor-scored in real time
Every cabinet lights its own pattern and scores on millisecond-level sensor hits. No ticket counting, no judge call, no argument.
The Light-Up Cabinets That Hold the 13-to-25 Crowd for an Hour.
IPS Games are the electronic-reaction cabinets - Boom Blaster towers pulsing red, Whip-n-Skip pads lighting in pattern, Flap Attack paddles waiting for a quarter-second twitch. They are the booths that turn a Prestonwood youth night or a Legacy West corporate picnic into a bracket with chants, high fives, and a leaderboard photo everyone posts. For nearly two decades we have run IPS clusters for Frisco ISD fall festivals, Prosper ISD grad lock-ins, Twin Creeks and Windsong Ranch block parties, The Star happy hours, and backyard Sweet 16s in 75034 and 75071.
Every cabinet ships pre-flashed for the night’s bracket format, powers off a single 20-amp drop, gets wiped and tested before the first round, and runs on a trained attendant with a roaming mic who calls the rotation, seeds the heats, and keeps the 55-inch leaderboard updating between rounds. You spec the cluster. We stage it, run the tournament, hand out the medals, and tear it down.
Call 972-429-4545 or book online - fall-fest Saturdays and youth-night Fridays lock by early September.
Why DFW Youth Pastors, Corporate Culture Leads, and HOA Boards Book the IPS Cluster
Bracketed tournaments, not free play
Head-to-head heats, quarters, semis, and a final on the mic. The format holds teens in line instead of wandering off to the snow-cone cart.
Live leaderboard on a 55-inch display
A running top-10 on a dedicated screen turns bystanders into queuers. The Instagram shot writes itself by round three.
Attendant runs the mic and the bracket
One trained operator seeds heats, calls rounds, and hands out the final. You never have to staff the booth yourself.
Single 20-amp drop runs the cluster
Most HOA amenity centers, school MPR rooms, and parish fellowship halls already have it. No generator upsell on the quote.
One vendor for the whole midway
IPS cluster, prize wall, pennant banners, snow-cone cart, and COI - one call, one crew, one invoice.
IPS Clusters We’ve Actually Run
A few moments from real DFW IPS bracket nights - LED towers, sensor pads, and every cabinet delivered, staged, and operated by our crew.
The IPS Cabinet Lineup
Current DFW IPS inventory - mix reaction towers, pattern pads, head-to-head paddles, strike arenas, and sensor runways to match your crowd.
Boom Blaster
LED tower with sensor pads at waist and shoulder height. Slam the lit target before it resets - fastest hand rating wins the heat. The teen anchor of the cluster.
Whip-n-Skip
Pattern-chase reaction pads on a horseshoe base. Chase the lit pad around the arc - lose a tenth of a second, lose the round.
Flap Attack
Two-player head-to-head paddle sensors. Flap your side of the cabinet faster than your opponent for a 60-second sprint - the cabinet that pulls a crowd.
Rattlesnake Roundup
Light-up strike targets on a low arena. Four players, one buzzer, 45 seconds - the loud cabinet that wakes up a quiet fall festival.
Streetskee
Inflatable skee-ball arcade with LED scoring. Nine-ball rolls, digital totals, no dropped tickets. The corporate happy-hour mainstay.
Ripsaw Runner
Reaction-chase runway with stepped sensor pads. A sprinter’s event - 10 yards of lit pads, fastest time wins the medal.
Inventory rotates through fall-festival and corporate-holiday season - if your date is locked, call before Friday and Saturday slots fill.
The Centerpiece
The IPS Cluster - Bracketed Heats, Live Leaderboard, Medal Ceremony
This is the setup that pulls a seventh-grade fall-festival line of forty kids and a Legacy West corporate-team cluster of a dozen execs into the same bracket format. Four to eight IPS cabinets arced in a ring, a 55-inch leaderboard on a stand at the open end, a seeding booth with wristband scanners at the entrance, and a mic-running attendant calling rotations.
Every IPS cluster includes:
- 4 to 8 IPS cabinets in any mix of Boom, Whip-n-Skip, Flap, Rattlesnake, Streetskee, and Ripsaw
- Live leaderboard on a 55-inch display with heat-by-heat standings
- Wristband or name-tag seeding, bracketed heats, quarters, semis, and a final
- Mic-run attendant calling rotations, a second tech on the leaderboard
- Medals for the top three and a printed bracket sheet for the noticeboard
- Branded vinyl wrap on the leaderboard frame on 10 business days lead
Works on HOA amenity courts, school MPR rooms, Prestonwood and Stonebriar fellowship halls, parish halls, and Legacy West and The Star activation lawns. Cluster lands first in load-in order so the leaderboard boots and seeding opens before the first rider arrives.
The Reaction Arena
Reaction Speed Arena - Where the Photo Shows Up on the Feed
The reaction cluster is the photo moment - house lights dropped, LED towers strobing, the 55-inch leaderboard glowing, a crowd chanting the current rider’s name, and the post that shows up the next morning on the PTA group chat and the VP of People’s LinkedIn.
Boom Blaster Whip-n-Skip Flap Attack Rattlesnake Roundup Streetskee Ripsaw Runner
Pair the cluster with a stepped riser, string lighting dimmed to 10%, and a photo backdrop with your logo on it and the bracket final becomes the highlight reel. The attendant runs the mic.
Leaderboards, Brackets & the Mic Crew
The cabinets bring the crowd. The bracket format and the mic make it an event. Every IPS booking adds:
Live leaderboard displays
55-inch or dual 43-inch stands with heat-by-heat standings and a final-round big-score reveal for the closing ceremony.
Branded medals & bracket print
Top-three medals, a printed bracket sheet for the noticeboard, and a winner’s photo station behind the leaderboard.
Seeding booth & wristbands
Entry station with wristband or name-tag seeding, attendant-staffed, logo-printed on 10 business days lead.
MC & roaming mic
One mic-run attendant calling rotations, seeding heats, and closing the bracket final with the top-three walk-up.
Logo photo backdrops
Sponsor-logo, team-color, or mascot walls behind the leaderboard for the posted-to-social final-round shot.
Dimmable string lighting
Overhead globe-string and uplights tuned to 10% so the cabinet LEDs read from 40 feet into the crowd.
Token or ticket integration
Hook the IPS cluster into your existing midway token system or run it wristband-only - your call on the quote.
Power & riser
20-amp drop diagnostic, shade canopy over the seeding booth, and a 12-inch riser for the mic attendant.
If the IPS catalog has added a cabinet since last summer, we have probably already booked it onto a trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions About IPS Game Rentals in DFW
How is IPS different from regular carnival games?
Classic carnival games are mechanical - a mallet, a ring, a softball, a bean-bag. IPS cabinets are electronic reaction games with LED towers, sensor pads, and leaderboard scoring. The two pair well at a DFW fall festival, but IPS holds the 13-to-25 crowd for closer to 20 minutes per rotation versus four minutes at a ring-toss booth, which is why youth pastors and corporate culture leads keep re-booking it.
Do you run a bracket, or is it free play?
Either. Default is a bracket - we seed heats at the entrance, run quarters and semis on a published schedule, and close with a final on the mic. Corporate team-building usually runs brackets by department or squad; youth-group lock-ins bracket by small group. Free-play-only rotations are on the quote if that fits your flow better.
What power do the cabinets need? Do we need a generator?
A four-cabinet IPS cluster runs off a single 20-amp drop, which most HOA amenity centers, school MPR rooms, Prestonwood and Stonebriar fellowship halls, and Legacy West and The Star activation trailers already have. Outdoor grass-field setups get a Honda quiet generator on the quote - we bring it. Generator rental never shows up as a surprise line on the invoice.
Can you brand the leaderboard or wrap a cabinet with a logo?
Yes. Leaderboard vinyl wrap with your logo, mascot, or sponsor seal ships with 10 business days lead; 48 hours on a chalkboard-header upgrade. Cabinet side wraps are available at 10 business days on the four rectangular cabinets - the tower-style Boom Blaster keeps its factory skin so the LEDs read from 40 feet.
What is the attendant-to-cabinet ratio?
A four-cabinet cluster runs on one mic-attendant plus one leaderboard tech. An eight-cabinet corporate picnic or fall-festival cluster upgrades to one mic, one leaderboard tech, and one seeding-booth attendant. Tipping is not expected - gratuity is baked into the rate - but crews never turn down a thank-you tip jar.
How early should we book for a Frisco ISD fall festival or a corporate holiday party?
IPS inventory is limited - we run three simultaneous clusters max on any Saturday. Fall-festival Saturdays through October lock by early September. Corporate holiday weeknights in the first half of December lock by mid-October. HOA block parties and backyard Sweet 16s have more flexibility, but Friday and Saturday evenings in 75024, 75034, and 75070 still go first.
