Hi, we’re Chris & Kat – we both grew up playing video games, and we both still do! In October 2015, we launched Gaming Retro-bution, an award-winning retro video game hire & event service with a mission to create a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone can enjoy the nostalgic joy of video games.
As a mixed gender management team, our goal is to break down negative cultural biases and outdated stereotypes by hosting interactive video game events that bring people from all walks of life together. We believe video games are for everyone – regardless of age, gender or experience – and that they have the power to create fun, positive, and genuinely social experiences
We’ve delivered a wide range of video game hire – from regular pub nights and private gaming parties to large-scale installations at major venues like the Birmingham NEC, entertaining crowds of over 50,000.
Our services span the UK providing video game hire for all kinds of occasions including corporate events, weddings, educational experiences, team building days, museum & gallery exhibitions, birthday parties, stag dos, and more.
We’ve proud to have worked with respected companies and organisations such as UNiDAYS, PGMOL, Player1 Events, Unity Technologies, Brighton SEO, Sony Music, AXA, Studio Gobo, Sport Industry Group, The Pensions Regulator, The Brighton Dome, Sussex University, University of Brighton, BIMM, and Shoreham Academy.
Whether you are planning a casual night out, a quirky date night, a wedding celebration or a high-impact corporate or private party – grab a beer, grab a controller, and let us take care of the rest!
