What Pleyo does
Pleyo is a French interactive-entertainment technology company headquartered in Caen, Normandy, that develops patented hardware-and-software systems which convert trampolines and mini-trampolines into physical game controllers. Its product portfolio spans four hardware tiers — PleyoCourt (up to 12 players on a full court), PleyoTower (a modular central hub positioned as a safer alternative to wipeout-style attractions), PleyoMini (compact 2-6 player configurations for family entertainment centers), and the original PleyoStation turnkey unit — supported by a cloud management platform (PleyoHub), an analytics module (PleyoAnalytics), a leaderboard display (PleyoBoard), and a branded game catalog (PleyoGames) featuring titles such as Neon, Space Invaders Remix, Forest Jump, and Basketball with real-time difficulty adjustment and AI-animated host characters (Alba and Pika). The company operates a B2B model, selling and renting hardware through direct enterprise sales and a partner channel of trampoline park manufacturers, AV integrators, and entertainment specialists, serving five customer segments: trampoline parks (primary), entertainment venues, corporate clients, fitness centers, and event organizers across 11 countries.
The company monetizes through four streams: hardware sales of complete interactive systems in multi-unit configurations, rental and leasing arrangements for events and venues, an ongoing software and game-catalog subscription-like layer under PleyoHub, and partner technology licensing to trampoline park manufacturers and integrators. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, supported by a downloadable revenue calculator and product brochure, and the company reports operational metrics including near-100% uptime during operating hours and PleyoStation throughput of up to 40-45 games per hour. Pleyo has secured institutional backing from Bpifrance, Région Normandie, Normandie Incubation, the French Ministry of Education, and the European Union, and operates with a 1-10 person team under the SAS Pleyo legal entity with 50,000 euros of registered capital.

Pleyo competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Lightspace Technologies: Provider of interactive floor-projection and multi-touch gaming systems for FECs, retail, and entertainment venues. Competes with Pleyo for the same operator budgets on physical, screen-driven multiplayer attractions.
- Funovation: US-based developer of interactive amusement and motion-based gaming equipment for FECs. Overlaps with Pleyo in supplying operators with screen-driven, multi-player attractions beyond traditional arcade formats.
- Valo Motion: Finland-based company offering Valo Jump and Valo Arena — interactive trampoline and floor-based gaming with screens and sensors. Direct head-to-head competitor using a closely related motion-to-game-controller approach for FEC and trampoline park customers.
- EyeClick: Interactive projection and motion-floor gaming systems deployed in entertainment, retail, and event environments. Closely comparable product category (movement → screen game), overlapping with Pleyo on operator segments and use cases.
Broad incumbents
- Sky Zone: Dominant US-based trampoline park operator and equipment developer with proprietary attractions and a franchise network. Represents the demand-side incumbent that buys or bypasses third-party interactive gaming tech like Pleyo's.
- Walltopia: Large Bulgarian manufacturer of trampoline parks, climbing walls, and active entertainment structures. Functions partly as a Pleyo channel partner but also competes in the broader active-play attraction space with its own integrated offerings for park operators.
- Immotion Group: UK-listed provider of immersive VR and motion-based entertainment attractions for FECs and theme parks. Sells into the same operator customers as Pleyo but competes with a different technology stack (immersive VR vs. trampoline-input gaming).
- Exergame Fitness (Interactive Fitness Holdings): Established distributor and integrator of exergaming and interactive fitness entertainment technology for FECs, trampoline parks, and gyms. Competes for the same physical-activity-with-screens category with a broader installed-base portfolio.
Emerging players
- HOLOGATE: Germany-based provider of compact, multiplayer VR entertainment systems targeted at FECs and trampoline parks. Competes for operator capex and floor space with Pleyo, though via immersive VR rather than trampoline input.
- Two Bit Circus: US operator/developer of next-generation FECs combining physical and digital multiplayer games. Showcases alternative interactive-attraction formats that pull from the same operator demand pool as Pleyo without being a directly substitutable product.
