CUBE Is Changing: Player Profiles, Levels and Worldwide Leaderboards for Challenge Venues

CUBE OS adds player profiles, in-game levels, loyalty tiers and worldwide leaderboards to CUBE challenge games. See what’s new for venue operators.

Challenge games bring players through the door. Progress brings them back. A score that belongs to them, a level to unlock and a leaderboard to climb are what turn a first visit into a fourth, a fifth and a tenth. That is the idea behind CUBE is changing, the next stage of CUBE Challenges and an update worth a close look for every operator in the challenge games and family entertainment center (FEC) market.

What is CUBE OS?

CUBE OS is the software that runs a CUBE venue. It handles registration, room access, session timing and live scoring across the whole floor, through seven connected apps: one for your staff and six for your players. It is built and maintained in-house by our own developers, which means there is no third-party licence fee and nobody sitting between you and your own floor data.

What’s new: the layer players stay for

Everything below runs today on CUBE.

Player accounts and profiles. One email, one player. History, stats and avatar are available from any device, with no app to install.

Multiple game modes and in-game levels. Each challenge now offers three to four ways to play, four to five levels deep, so the same room is never quite the same twice.

Dynamic difficulty. Each challenge reads how a player is performing and adapts: hard enough to matter, never so hard that it stops being fun.

Loyalty tiers. Every point goes to the player who earned it, climbing from Bronze to Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Competitive mode. On selected games the team splits up and competes inside the room, ranked live. It is the format behind tournament nights, leagues and prize events.

Worldwide leaderboards. Your venue keeps its own house record and hall of fame, while players also climb a global ranking across every CUBE location. One account works in every venue, so a player’s score follows them anywhere and brings them back to yours.

Achievements, tokens and rewards. Badges for streaks and records, avatar gear that unlocks, and tokens that can be kept per venue so they are spent where they were earned.

Seven apps, one system for your floor

Your team runs the venue from the Main Control App: room management, team registration, restriction presets, sessions, stats and logs in one place.

Players start at the Registration App. They sign in with an email, accept your waiver and terms, and pair an RFID wristband. Nobody reaches a game before that is done, and the acceptance is recorded against each account. At the door, the Outside App lets a team scan their band, pick a mode and level, and open the room. Inside, the Inside App shows the target, the countdown and the live score, while the Live Progress Scoreboard App shows each player’s session on your own screens. The Leaderboard App puts the hall of fame, top of the month and top of the day on your wall, and the Photobooth App sends the team photo to each player’s profile on the way out.

What it means for operators

Replayability is the business case. More modes and levels give players a reason to try the same challenge again. Profiles, tiers and rewards give them a reason to return. Competitive mode and leaderboards give you events you can sell. Live monitoring, participation records and registered waivers give your team control of the floor and of the data behind it.

Upgrading an existing CUBE venue

For current operators, the upgrade keeps as much of the existing hardware as possible, delivered through targeted upgrade packages.

One platform, three formats

CUBE Challenges is a complete turnkey solution: blueprints and 3D design of your space, all games, IT and equipment, installation by our own team, staff training, technical support and marketing support. It is available as CUBE Standard Format (15+ rooms, 400+ m²), CUBE Arena (10+ games, 250+ m²) and a dedicated Hotels & Resorts format, so it fits standalone venues, FECs, malls and resorts alike.
