Scorze: The New Interactive Football Phenomenon

Scorze: The New Interactive Football Phenomenon

Worldwide Play Area Equipment, Installation,
Cleaning & Maintenance Company

Family Entertainment Centres (FECs) are constantly looking for the next big attraction — something that keeps guests engaged, encourages repeat visits, and adds fresh revenue opportunities. Enter Scorze, the brand-new football interactive game from our partners at Rugged Interactive.

What is Scorze?

At its core, Scorze is a fast-paced, skill-based football challenge. Players kick footballs at illuminated targets, competing for the highest score. With quick reactions, accuracy, and a bit of healthy competition, Scorze combines the thrill of the beautiful game with the excitement of interactive technology.

Unlike traditional football-themed attractions, Scorze is designed for the indoor play environment — compact, durable, and engaging for kids, teens, and even adults. It’s as fun for birthday parties and group sessions as it is for casual drop-in play.

Why FECs Should Be Excited

  • Broad Appeal: Football is universal, attracting players across multiple age groups.

  • Repeat Play Value: The competitive scoring system makes it addictive — guests always want “just one more go.”

  • Flexible Revenue Model: Scorze works perfectly in pay-per-play setups or as part of premium party packages.

  • Space Efficient: It’s designed to fit seamlessly into existing play centres without needing large-scale renovations.

A Proven Partner in Play

Rugged Interactive has built its reputation on durable, interactive play products trusted by operators worldwide. From their popular Cardio Walls to cutting-edge adventure installations, Rugged has consistently delivered experiences that engage and excite. Scorze carries that same pedigree — engineered for reliability, fun, and operator confidence.

Stay Ahead of the Game

For operators, Scorze is more than just a football game — it’s a way to attract new demographics, drive additional revenue, and keep your venue buzzing with energy.

If you’re looking to expand your offer and give guests something fresh to shout about, Scorze is a game-changer worth exploring.

How Soft Play Props Transform Tiny Towns

How Soft Play Props Transform Tiny Towns

When it comes to creating a soft play space that engages babies, and creates a memorable experience for toddlers, it is often the simple smaller details that help create the best impression on guests. Soft play shapes come in many looks, mechanics tools, doctors kits, fruit & veg and everyday objects, all low cost, high impact play shapes that can create the lasting impact on your play space. And when integrated into themed areas or tiny towns, they are more than just an obstacle, they become the prop to help children tell stories and create adventures.

What are soft play shapes?

Soft play shapes, are really just foam filled vinyl covered objects that mimic real world items in fun and safe forms. Giant toothbrushes, stethoscopes and spanners are safe, lightweight and endless fun for all children.

Why should I include them?

One of the best parts of soft play shapes are their low cost and long lasting ability. Compared to the overall structure of the play area, they offer a cost effective way for you to expand your offerings without needing major investment or reinvestment ( maintenance ). Their versitility means they can keep your space looking fresh and stay engaging.

Themed Shapes Include:

  • Doctor’s Surgery
  • Supermarket
  • Construction Site
  • Vet or Pet
  • Cake Shop

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re starting a new soft play or indoor play area space or just looking to reinvest and refresh the space, check out our play shape offerings and see how it can help create more imaginative spaces without breaking the bank.

Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre – Another hit for GLL

Another Hit for Leisure Chain GLL at Swiss Cottage

The key to ensuring your growth year to year is heavily dictated by how many people you can bring into the space ( or bring back ), and one of our clients, GLL, has focused hard on bringing new or updating their facilities over the last few years to ensure that growth.

Swiss Cottage in London has one of the most open and well-lit entrances to a leisure centre we have ever seen. Around the reception is a cafe and lots of light, which would bring even more people in through the doors.

Welcoming guests into the space now, there is a multi-levelled soft play area that is so perfectly lit and incredibly vibrant, it even shines on the most overcast day.

Featuring everything that everyone loves from Soft play over two areas ( one for the older kids and one for the babies and toddlers ). Now Mum and Dad have a reason to enjoy their coffee with friends, whilst the little ones go off and play for an hour or two.

If you’re looking to invest and apply the same model to your space, please contact us and let us know, we’d love to supply a free design for your space.

GLL Canons Leisure Centre Soft Play

GLL CANONS LEISURE CENTRE SOFT PLAY IS FINALLY OPEN!

The leisure centre chain, GLL, has finally opened its doors to a new vibrant and exciting soft play at their Canons Site in Surrey, London.

Thanks to their continuous upgrades to existing centres, the space is now filled to the brim with bright and vibrant colours.

Babies and children up to 10 years old now have a wonderfully new space they can play, featuring; Ball Pools, Slides, Rope Clumbs, a dedicated baby area and more, which are now only limited to their imagination.

Whilst this whole installation is ‘just another play area’ it is also now one that can let parents relax, enjoy a coffee whilst having clear views of their kids if they want to take some time to themselves.

We really hope that GLL has a good start to the upcoming Easter holidays, and that this new play frame brings all the best laughs and memories to all who use it.

Check out the photos below to see more. If you’re interested in starting your own play area and would like a free design, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Beekse Bergen Soft Play ( Dutch Version )​​

Beekse Bergen Soft Play ( Dutch Version )​

Cleaning & Maintenance Company

This is a dutch write up from the original case study we have covered from Beekse Burgen and our indoor soft play area in the Netherlands, if you wish to read the original version, please click HERE.

Beekse Bergen, het grootste safaripark in de Benelux, had een manier nodig om bezoekers te blijven aantrekken tijdens de koudere maanden. Onze oplossing? Een levendig indoor softplay-gebied met een piratenthema, ontworpen voor alle leeftijden, dat eindeloos speelplezier biedt ongeacht het weer.

Ontdek hoe deze spannende toevoeging een seizoensfavoriet heeft getransformeerd tot een bestemming voor het hele jaar door!

De klant

Beekse Bergen is een safaripark in Nederland en het grootste in zijn soort in de gehele Benelux.

Met safari’s per bus, boot en auto, evenals diverse wandelroutes waarbij je de dieren van een veilige afstand kunt bewonderen, is Beekse Bergen al lange tijd een buitengewoon populaire attractie. Met een safarihotel, een resort en een meerresort bieden ze hun gasten volop mogelijkheden om een geweldige tijd te beleven.

Maar, zoals elk goed recreatiebedrijf, blijft het team zoeken naar manieren om te verbeteren – en daar komen wij in beeld.

De Uitdaging

Het safaribedrijf van Beekse Bergen is begrijpelijkerwijs behoorlijk seizoensgebonden. Tussen april en september is het praktisch de populairste attractie in de regio. Maar in de koudere wintermaanden is het veel uitdagender om klanten aan te trekken.

Het team van Beekse Bergen kwam bij ons met dezelfde uitdaging die we van veel van onze klanten horen: “Wat kunnen we creëren dat ons helpt om van strikt seizoensgebonden naar aantrekkelijk het hele jaar door te gaan?”

Wat we hebben gedaan

Ons doel was om een oplossing te ontwerpen die bezoekers aantrekt, ongeacht het seizoen. We creëerden een levendig indoor softplay-gebied met een piratenthema, perfect voor gezinnen en avonturiers van alle leeftijden. Deze nieuwe toevoeging biedt een plek waar kinderen kunnen spelen en volwassenen kunnen ontspannen, ongeacht het weer buiten.

Dit speelt niet alleen in op de behoefte van winterbezoekers, maar zorgt ook voor een compleet nieuwe dimensie aan het park die het hele jaar door relevant blijft.

Het Resultaat

De populairste attractie in de regio heeft nu een extra troef in handen om nieuwe klanten aan te trekken en bestaande klanten een reden te geven om terug te komen – of de zon nu schijnt voor een safari of niet.

Notty Award Winner 2024

Notty Award Winner 2024

What a night to remember! The Play Company International team swapped workwear for black tie as we attended The Nottys, a prestigious awards evening celebrating the very best in the industry. And guess what? We didn’t just attend—we walked away as winners!

The night was a whirlwind of excitement, starting with our team ( whom you can learn about here ) gathering together in our finest attire. It’s not every day we get to trade blueprints and brainstorming sessions for a red carpet and champagne flutes, but we embraced it in style.

As the awards were announced, we cheered and applauded the incredible achievements of other businesses—though let’s be honest, our table had a slight feeling of suspense. When Play Company International’s name was called, the room filled with our cheers (and maybe a little squeal from Claire and Eviee). Elliott took to the stage to accept the award on behalf of the entire team, delivering a heartfelt speech that reminded everyone why we do what we do: creating playful, innovative spaces that bring joy and excitement to communities around the world.

The rest of the evening was spent celebrating—networking with other industry leaders, reminiscing about some of our favorite projects, and making the most of the photo booth.

But let’s not forget what this award represents. It’s not just a shiny trophy to display in the office (although it does look very good on the shelf). It’s a recognition of the hard work, dedication, and creativity that our team puts into every single project. It’s a testament to the incredible clients and partners who trust us to bring their visions to life. And it’s a reminder that, as a team, we can achieve great things when we dream big and play even bigger.

A massive thank you to The Nottys for hosting such a fantastic event and for recognizing the work we’re so passionate about. And to our amazing team at Play Company International—this win is for all of us
