Startle's digital signage enables us to show content that's relevant to the time of day and audience, as well as showcase what else we have to offer. Particularly during sporting occasions, the ability to have tailored content that enhances the fans experience is a huge support in creating the right atmosphere and ambience.

Hayley Pipe

Head of Group Marketing & Sales

Our pubs range from community pubs to hybrid high street venues in town centres, so each of them has a unique identity and needs entertainment and offers relevant to its local environment. It is vital that our suppliers can offer each pub a bespoke package to help them drive sales and become a go to destination. Startle helps each pub to deliver their message, their way. We are delighted to use them for our music, digital signage and sports promotion.

I have been waiting for a music and signage service like this for years. Current music but in-keeping with the Lloyds brand, I feel like it is driving repeat business as the customers are actually enjoying the music. Signage is fabulous and takes all the pain away.

Frequently asked questions.

What is Startle Arcade?

A collection of games that guests can play from their own phones in hospitality venues. Games are hosted from Studio.

How many players can take part?

Every game supports two or more players, so it works for anything from a couple of tables to a packed room.

Can staff control the game, or does it run on its own?

Both. Turn on auto mode to let rounds advance by themselves, or take manual control and set the pace round by round.

Do we need extra hardware to run Startle Arcade?

All the games are run through the same Startle Player as our background music and digital signage solutions.
