FunBox Entertainment

What FunBox Entertainment does

FunBox Entertainment Ltd is a UK-based, private location-based entertainment operator founded in 2021 as a subsidiary of Gravity Active Entertainment. The company operates physical game room venues in shopping centres and commercial premises, currently confirmed in the United Kingdom and Germany, where consumers play arcade, redemption, midway, and virtual reality games and earn digital tickets (G-Tickets) redeemable for prizes. Its primary customer segments are individual players and families on the consumer side, and commercial premises owners (shopping centres, entertainment venues) on the B2B trade side.

The company's core product is the GamerGreen® digital redemption and loyalty platform, a registered trademark that FunBox describes as the world's first digital prize redemption system powered by Amazon Business. The platform integrates physical player cards, on-site PrizeHub vending machines, a mobile app (FunBox VIP / GamerGreen®), and a digital prize catalogue with home delivery fulfilment via Amazon Business. Players can link unlimited player cards to a single digital account, bank G-Tickets (capped at 500,000 per user, expiring after 12 months), wishlist prizes, and redeem either on-site or for shipped delivery.

FunBox generates revenue through three primary streams: (i) usage-based revenue from players purchasing game credits to play arcade, redemption, midway, and VR machines; (ii) transaction economics on prize redemption, monetising the gap between G-Tickets earned and the cost of fulfilled prizes; and (iii) managed-services B2B revenue from designing, supplying, installing, and operating game rooms in third-party premises under a trade partnership model. Game credit pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the player card and app are free (freemium). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds and no public revenue figures.

Revenue model

1. Game Room Operations: Revenue generated from players purchasing game credits to play arcade machines, video games, redemption games, midway games, and virtual reality experiences at FunBox venues. Players earn G-Tickets based on skill and performance which can be redeemed for prizes.
2. Prize Redemption & Merchandise: G-Tickets earned through gameplay can be redeemed for prizes either on-site via PrizeHub vending machines or shipped to players' homes via Amazon Business. The company monetises the difference between ticket value earned per game and cost of prizes.
3. Trade/ Premises Partnerships: B2B revenue model where FunBox designs, supplies, and installs complete game room experiences within third-party premises (shopping centres, entertainment venues). Revenue comes from game room installations and ongoing operations within partner locations.
