Carnival & Arcade Games on Rent in India — Bring the Funfair Home (2026 Guide)
Why Carnival Games Make the Best Parties
Think about the last time you went to a carnival, mall gaming zone, or amusement park. What do you remember most? The games. The competition. The thrill of winning a prize. Now imagine bringing that exact energy to your own party — whether it's a kids' birthday, a corporate team event, a wedding sangeet, or a society Diwali celebration.
Wanna Party rents out professional-grade carnival and arcade games across India — the same machines you'd find in gaming zones and malls. Full-sized, powered, fully operational, and delivered with an attendant who manages everything from setup to crowd control. No fuss, just fun.
Arcade Machines — Console-Level Gaming, Life-Sized
| Arcade Game | Players | Best For | Rent (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car Racing Arcade Game | 1-2 | All ages, mixed parties, corporate events | 24,000 |
| Bike Racing Arcade Gaming Activity | 1-2 | Teens, sports fans, bachelor parties | 25,000 |
| Air Hockey | 2 | All ages, couples, team-building | 25,000 |
| Exciting Claw Toy Catcher Arcade Game | 1 | Kids, family events, return gift alternative | 24,000 |
Car Racing Arcade Game (Rs. 24,000)
The racing arcade is the ultimate crowd-puller. Full steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals, a large screen, and realistic racing physics. Kids love the arcade-style controls. Adults get competitive about lap times. Set it up and watch a queue form naturally. Works brilliantly at mixed-age birthday parties, corporate fun days, and society gatherings.
Air Hockey (Rs. 25,000)
Air hockey is timeless. Two players, a puck floating on air, rapid-fire shots, and lightning reflexes. It's simple enough for a 6-year-old to play, competitive enough for adults to get seriously invested. The fast rounds (2-3 minutes each) mean the queue moves quickly.
Claw Toy Catcher (Rs. 24,000)
The claw machine is pure psychology. That glass box full of toys, the joystick, the suspense as the claw descends... it's addictive. Fill it with small toys, chocolates, keychains, or branded merchandise. Many hosts use the claw catcher as an interactive return gift station — guests play to win their own party favor. Kids play it 10, 15, 20 times in a row.
Classic Carnival Games — Timeless Fairground Fun
| Game | Type | Best For | Rent (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boxing Punch Machine | Strength test | Corporate events, college fests, bachelor parties | 25,000 |
| Balloon Dart Game | Skill & precision | Kids' birthdays, family events, society gatherings | 9,000 |
| Catch The Baton Game | Reflex test | Mixed-age parties, team events, school functions | 15,000 |
| Bubble Game (Kid Inside a Bubble) | Experience/Photo op | Kids' parties, photo-booth alternative | 7,998 |
Balloon Dart Game (Rs. 9,000)
The balloon dart game is beautifully simple: a board of inflated balloons, a set of darts, and the satisfying pop when you hit your target. It's colorful, photogenic, and universally understood — no instructions needed. Host tip: Slip small prize notes behind each balloon. The element of mystery keeps kids coming back. At Rs. 9,000, it's the most affordable carnival game.
Bubble Game — Kid Inside a Bubble (Rs. 7,998)
This one is pure magic. A child (or willing adult!) stands inside a giant transparent inflatable bubble. It's floating, surreal, and makes for incredible photos and videos. The bubble game is a memory-maker — even if a kid only spends 2 minutes inside, those photos will be shared and talked about for years. It doubles as entertainment and a photo booth.
Boxing Punch Machine (Rs. 25,000)
Step up, throw your best punch, and watch the score climb. The boxing punch machine creates instant competition. Guests line up to beat each other's scores. Scores are displayed digitally, so the leaderboard becomes a running joke throughout the event. Works best at corporate team outings, college festivals, and bachelor parties.
Catch The Baton Game (Rs. 15,000)
This reflex-testing game drops a baton at random intervals — the player must catch it before it falls. Surprisingly addictive and creates great spectator moments. Great for mixed-age parties where you need a quick game (30 seconds per turn) that doesn't create long queues.
