Dave & Buster’s Puts Tickets to the Biggesst Soccer Match in the World Inside the Human Crane

This June, Dave & Buster’s is bringing the excitement of the competition to its arcade. Building off the viral success of the brand’s Valentine’s Day Human Crane activation, Dave & Buster’s is once again turning its Human Crane game into an unforgettable experience to win once-in-a-lifetime prizes. This time around, soccer fans can step inside the life-size claw game to compete for tickets to multiple matches across the country, including the final championship match.

The Human Crane is Dave & Buster’s full-body arcade experience that lowers guests into a pit where they can grab oversized prizes using only skill, strategy, and a little luck. Buried among soccer-themed inflatables, guests will have the chance to win tickets to some of the biggest matches of the summer, including the USA vs. TUR match, a Round of 32 match, a Quarterfinal match, and the biggest match of them all — the Final Match with seats in the lower bowl. And for guests who don’t walk away with tickets, Human Crane players still have the chance to win exclusive prizes, including free game play, free food, and more during the week of June 11 – June 17.

“Soccer is one of those sports that’s just more fun to experience together, and we love bringing that energy to life at Dave & Buster’s,” said Melissa Powers, Vice President of Marketing at Dave & Buster’s. “From massive screens and soccer-themed arcade games to tournament-inspired food and drinks — plus the chance to win unforgettable prizes through the Human Crane — we’re creating the most fun place to cheer on your team all summer long.

Beyond the Human Crane, Dave & Buster’s is bringing the excitement of international soccer to every part of the guest experience this summer. Fans can catch every major match on massive 40-foot screens and more than 30 TVs, while enjoying exclusive tournament-themed food and drink offerings, including exclusive slider flavors inspired by the tournament’s host countries: All-American Slider, Canadian Maple Slider, Mexican Street Slider. The brand is also offering limited-time soccer merch, elevated in-store viewing experiences, and two new soccer-inspired arcade games: World Soccer, a four-player soccer showdown, and Kick N Win, where guests can play for the chance to win a mini soccer ball of their favorite country.

Dave & Buster’s is also bringing the excitement of the tournament to life with the Hat Trick Watch Experience, a special ticketed watch party event for the kickoff and championship matches, complete with all you can eat wings and fries during the matches and unlimited game play all day long on the day of the games. Tickets start at $24.99 at dbhattrickexperience.com.

The Human Crane Experience will be available for play and win opportunities from June 11 – 17. During these dates, guests have the ability to win tickets to select matches at select Dave & Buster’s locations across the country.

Opportunities to win other exclusive prizes, including free game play, free food, and more at other select locations will also be available during the week of June 11 – June 17. Quantities and participation opportunities are limited and available while supplies last.
