Green Megawire giant buzz wire game set up on a high street at night

Giant Buzz Wire

Hire from £395.

Giant Buzz Wire Hire

The Megawire is a floor-standing buzz wire game - also called a steady hand game, wire loop game or mega wire depending on who's asking. The frame holds a twisted metal wire track that rises about 4ft above a base unit, and there's a wand (a metal loop on a handle with a coiled cable) that players use to navigate from one end of the wire to the other without making contact. Touch the wire and the buzzer sounds and the lights flash.

A built-in LED timer counts throughout the attempt, so running it as a timed leaderboard competition requires almost no effort from your team - write the scores on a whiteboard or pair it with our giant timer and it runs itself.

The unit runs from an internal battery, so no mains supply is needed at the venue. There are two operating modes available: light only, or light and buzzer - useful if you're in a quiet conference setting and want to keep the noise down.

We've been hiring this out since 1999 for exhibition stands, freshers fairs, corporate fun days, charity fundraisers and school events. The Collect+ image alongside shows the kind of crowd draw it gets in a busy indoor venue.

Branding the Megawire

The front panel is a full-height printed vinyl that swaps out between hirings. We handle design, print, fitting and removal in-house. In the gallery below you'll see examples for Lenovo (shown here), Red Nose Day, Collect+ and Locta Ltd, who used a branded unit on their stand at an identity verification industry conference.

If you want the game to carry your logo, tie into a wider stand design, or match a campaign colour, speak to us about your brief and we'll come back with options and pricing. Custom branding is a flat price for a single hire period.

The unit also pairs well with our Beat the Buzzer - a smaller, more compact version of the same game - if you want to run a buzz wire station with two difficulty levels side by side.
