Why Bowling Centers Are Turning to Group Immersive Attractions Like QBIX

Bowling remains a powerful draw, with over 67 million Americans heading to lanes each year. It’s social, active, and universally enjoyed. But most venues know they need something more than just bowling to keep guests engaged longer and spending more. That’s why so many Operators that have Bowling as their anchor, chose QBIX as their newest addition to their attraction mix!

Why QBIX Works So Well With Bowling

It fits the group format. 

Most bowling guests come in groups: families, friends, coworkers. QBIX is built for exactly that. It runs short, replayable game sessions for up to 6 players, so the experience mirrors the social nature of bowling.

 It fills in the gaps

While some guests bowl, others wait. QBIX turns waiting time into revenue-generating playtime. It also gives guests a reason to stick around after their game ends.

It feels fresh

Many bowling centers already offer arcades, VR, or laser tag. But immersive gaming without headsets, without attendants, and with that “step-inside-the-game” wow factor offers a main differentiator for your demographic.

It runs unattended

With no need for constant supervision, QBIX fits into operations without adding to labor costs or complexity. It’s just as efficient as it is exciting.

All Star Lanes, White City, a Boutique Bowling FEC in London, UK, added QBIX to their mix of attractions: they now offer bowling, karaoke, interactive darts and arcades.
