This fair is all about showcasing the latest products and services, networking, gaining insights, and sharpening skills—perfect ingredients for some unforgettable games! Held in Sweden, where we love our play to be engaging, straightforward, and a little bit clever, these ideas are split across four categories: physical games, digital knowledge games, digital skill games, and digital chance games. Whether you’ve got a big budget or a modest one, there’s something here to make your booth the talk of the fair. Let’s dive in!
For these games, we’re setting up eye-catching structures that draw a crowd with high-energy physical activity. These aren’t DIY-friendly—perfect for selling as premium products that attendees can’t replicate at home. Here are four ideas:
Picture a sleek, multi-tiered tower with slots labeled for different e-commerce categories (e.g., “Fashion,” “Electronics,” “Home Goods”). Players grab lightweight, branded parcels and toss them into the slots from a marked distance. Points rack up based on accuracy, and the tower’s vibrant, modular design screams professionalism. It’s fast-paced, exciting, and ties into the e-commerce theme of sorting and delivering goods.
Set up a mini conveyor belt with a futuristic scanner at the end. Players race to grab items (soft, branded props like “products”) from a pile and place them on the belt before a timer buzzes. The scanner lights up green for speed bonuses—think of it as a playful nod to e-commerce logistics. The crowd will love the competitive chaos!
A sturdy, high-tech packing station with slots and a timer challenges players to stack Tetris-like boxes into a perfect cube. The boxes are weighted just enough to demand effort, and a digital display tracks their score. It’s a physical puzzle that reflects the precision of e-commerce fulfillment, with a sleek design that’s tough to recreate at home.
Players strap on a lightweight “delivery backpack” and weave through a mini obstacle course—ducking under “low bridges” and hopping over “puddles”—to drop a package into a glowing dropbox. The energy is infectious, and the branded gear makes it a product worth selling.
These physical games are all about action and excitement, ensuring your booth buzzes with energy while showcasing e-commerce processes in a fun, Swedish-style way—simple yet captivating.
Next up is a digital knowledge game, where players use a stand to prove their expertise. I’ve taken the classic “falling text” concept—where players shoot wrong answers and let correct ones pass—and given it an e-commerce twist. Here’s the idea:
Now, let’s explore digital skill games, inspired by the casual gaming world. These should take no more than two minutes and resonate with the fair’s e-commerce vibe. First, here are three successful casual games I found online, adapted for your needs:

Now, here are five original skill game ideas tailored for the E-Commerce Expo:
Players tap a shopping cart zipping across the screen, dodging “out-of-stock” barriers and grabbing “discount” coins. The cart speeds up, testing reflexes in a 90-second sprint. It’s a playful take on online shopping speed, with a clean Swedish design.
Bubbles with price tags float up—some are “deals” (tap to pop), others “overpriced” (let float away). Miss a deal or pop an overpriced tag, and the game ends in under two minutes. It reflects e-commerce pricing savvy, with a minimalist aesthetic.
A conveyor belt scrolls with order icons (e.g., shoes, phones). Players swipe to match orders to “customer” slots before they fall off in 100 seconds. It’s a skill test of e-commerce efficiency, with smooth animations for Swedish flair.
Tap to drop product blocks onto a wobbly pile. Stack 10 without toppling in 90 seconds to win. It’s a nod to inventory management, with a satisfying physics twist that Swedes will enjoy.
Swipe “cards” left (reject) or right (approve) as payment methods flash by—some valid, some expired. Clear 20 in two minutes to win. It’s a quick, Tinder-like take on secure transactions.
These games are short, skill-based, and scream e-commerce relevance, making your booth a hit.
Finally, let’s talk chance games—pure fun with a luck-based twist. Here are some ideas:
Players spin a digital slot machine with e-commerce symbols (carts, parcels, coins). Land three matches in 30 seconds for a prize. The sleek, modern interface fits Sweden’s love for clean design and ties into the fair’s product focus.
The wheel’s a circular “sales funnel” with stages like “Lead,” “Cart,” and “Sale” in bold Nordic colors (blue, white, yellow). Spin it, and a digital arrow lands on a prize tied to that stage—e.g., a discount code for “Sale.” It’s a thematic fit for e-commerce networking.
These chance games blend luck with e-commerce themes, making them irresistible at the fair.
