Battleball - a new concept
CompSocUK 2027 will mark Rivals Innovation’s first-ever exhibition stand at an industry event. The company designs and delivers the next generation of experience-led products for entertainment venues.
At the show, the team will present Battleball, a new competitive socialising attraction designed in-house by Rivals Innovation.
The game features a series of fast-paced arcade-style challenges that test reaction time, timing, logic, and sometimes sheer luck.
Mike Knell, founder of Rivals Innovation, says: “We launched Battleball in our own venue this summer, and it’s been going down a storm. We’re joining CompSocUK because it’s the perfect place to showcase our new product.
"At the show, we'll not only be demonstrating this as a product, but also showing venue operators our course builder and revenue calculator so they can see just how quickly an investment into the product will pay for itself.”
Booked.it - seamless customer journeys
Booked.it will also be exhibiting at the show.
The booking platform is designed for family entertainment and competitive socialising venues. Its team will demonstrate how operators can create a smoother booking process by bringing bookings, customer experience and their broader technology ecosystem together in one system.
Attendees at CompSocUK can discover the Booked.it platform
Visitors can explore the platform’s latest developments firsthand and see how they might work for their venue. Booked.it says the show will also be an opportunity to learn about the challenges venues face and identify ways to keep improving the platform for its users.
Amy Harris, operations director at Booked.it, says:
“We’ve come to the EAG shows before as guests and have always found it full of brilliant brands and a great mix of people. We know visitors include operators that we’d love to work with and see CompSocUK as a great platform for us to get closer to the people shaping the industry.
"So exhibiting felt like the natural next step.”
New tech and ideas at CompSocUK
Alongside the new names joining CompSocUK for the first time, the show will feature a lineup of exhibitors offering digital-first experiences for guests.
Demonstrations at the 2027 show will include entertainment systems from 501 Fun, smart mini-golf courses from 360Golf, real-time 3D simulators from SimWay, and karaoke room systems from SingPods.
“What CompSocUK offers to the entertainment landscape is all about new tech, engaging experiences and exciting ideas. And that’s exactly what these two new exhibitors bring to the show,” says Nick Harding, EAG360 chairman.
“The CompSocUK show has been a huge part of this continued growth having spent the last few years cementing itself as the only place to go to find everything you need to create a competitive socialising venue.”
First launched in 2025 as the Social Immersive Entertainment show, CompSocUK has been rebranded this year to reflect the exciting experiences its exhibitors bring to audiences. CompSocUK aims to become the place where compsoc operators find inspiration and everything they need to establish and run a venue.
EAG360 also recently launched a new digital companion app for EAG360 2027, taking place at the ExCeL in London from 12-14 January 2027, encompassing Amuse Expo, CompSocUK and London Gaming Show.
