Shuffle Pucks is the hottest product to hit the bar and pub scene in years. The interactive technology takes classic shuffleboards to the next level, with a system that will blow the minds of your clientele.
Shuffle Pucks is an interactive revival of traditional shuffleboards. The system relies on a smaller 14ft long board to allow the whole system to be used in more compact spaces. Through the innovative camera tracking technology and a custom-designed board, the Shuffle Pucks system detects movement of pucks in real time allowing your clients to play a variety of different game and challenges.
Use the supplied user-friendly Touch Screen Interface Unit, where players will then create player profiles by inputting their names and having their photos taken, and are then able to sort themselves or choose their team (or let the system decide for them). Teams are also able to choose their Tame Mascots in the Touch Screen Interface Unit, with choices such as Team Vikings, Team Bears, Team Pirates & many others. Once the teams are set, the fun can begin! Choose one of Shuffle Pucks' 3 games, all of which include easy-to-follow instructions on how to play each. Read below for details on the three games you can play.
The cabinet is constructed from a darkened solid oak with a solid Canadian Maple playing board, complete with a crystal clear resin coating that will ensure your pucks glide effortlessly along the purpose-printed playing surface. The camera technology displays the effects of shots in real-time using outstanding game graphics that displays gameplay and team scores.
Please note: At this time, the Shuffle Pucks system is only available to commercial venues. We are unable to supply this system to domestic customers.
Watch the video below for a full walkthrough of the incredible Shuffle Pucks system, showing the hardware, the software and learn about the incredible controls that operators have at their fingertips.
How it works
Shuffle Pucks operates using a combination of different hardware to deliver the system's gameplay. The key components in this set up are the fixed-camera, which detects everything that happens in the scoring zone, and the specially printed board which features unique markers. All these work in conjunction to translate what's happening on the board to action on the gameplay screen.
The internal computer can then display the effects of shots using the game graphics, calculate scores and ultimately declare the winner of each game.

All sessions are time-based and triggered by the entry of a code at the touchscreen user interface. These codes reference bookings from whatever system they are linked to (more on this under Session Management) and enable sessions for a predetermined amount of time and players.

- There are up to 6 spots per team. Choosing teammates can be selected at random by pressing “Select All” or players can manually drag and drop their choices into the slots available. Individuals can play against pairs, against the rest of the group, or whatever suits.
- Players can choose a team mascot to represent their team from a range of different options, including pirates, ninjas, bears and others.
- Once a game has started, the touchscreen UI allows users to pick one of the three games. Pick one to read the rules, then confirm to start playing, or go back to chose another.
- The game will automatically check and verify that the game board is clear before starting the game, allowing players to clear the surface of pucks if it is not.
- The menu button allows players to exit their current game at any point, allowing them to switch games, add additional players or reassign the teams at any stage.
Games
Here's an overview of all three games you can play using the Shuffle Pucks system.
Tower Stacks
Stack your towers as high as you can go to win! Sliding your puck down the board will build up the size of one of your towers, the closer to the end of the board your puck goes, the taller your tower will become. Don't fall from the end! Anything that falls from the board will not count!
Use strategy and maybe some devious tactics to knock your opponents from the board whilst building your towers, the one with the most overall height after all pucks are thrown will be the winner.
Planet Oddyssey
There can be only one planet central to the galaxy...
The aim of Planet Oddyssey is to be the player with the puck closest to the target spot after all pucks are played. The one whose puck ends closest to the target wins!
Field Raid
Field Raid is a strategic game all about claiming territory.
Take turns sending pucks to the scoring area, with the aim being to cover the greatest amount of area. Quantity and quality are of equal importance here, as the player who occupies the greatest overall area with the most of their pucks will be the winner.
Difficulty Settings
Different difficulty settings are available for each game, so these can be set based upon the skill of the players.
Customisation
All Shuffle Pucks systems can be customised to make them an integral part of the venue’s brand. We will produce the necessary graphics provided customers provide us with the appropriate assets in EPS, AI or PDF format. Alternatively, we can issue templates and customers can use their own creative teams to customise the systems.
Pricing - Call for pricing.
Our pricing model is designed to give commercial venues the opportunity to provide the latest competitive socialising experiences without incurring huge setup costs.
All products follow the same model – an upfront fee (one-time investment) followed by a recurring license (software subscription). The upfront fee does not constitute a purchase of the hardware. We retain the title of the goods. The upfront fee covers onboarding, commissioning, training and, in the instance of Turnkey/Turnkey Premium, installation.
Delivery is included for UK orders but not for international orders.
We charge a fee based on the utilisation of the system.
Lead Times
5 to 8 weeks from point of order to installation.
Service Support
Our products are designed so that any issues that present themselves are quickly identifiable and easily remedied. We provide help desk support for venues which involves stepping through our troubleshooting guide. Depending on what the issue is, if it is not resolved over the phone, we will ship a replacement part. The process is as follows…
- Call from venue
- Help desk troubleshooting
- Need for replacement part identified
- Replacement part shipped (customer invoiced)
- Customer ships the faulty part back to us.
- Returned parts examined and a resultant credit note or invoice for wear and tear is produced
- Replacement boards - provide up to 2 replacement boards per year based on utilisation - so if not warranted won’t be replaced.
Session Management
There are several options for controlling sessions on our systems:
- 501 Session Management System
- An online portal that allows users to create and edit sessions across all products, including Shuffle Pucks, Smarts Darts and Augmented Reality Darts.
- If your venue already has an online booking and reservation platform in place, we recommend using our system in conjunction with your existing system. Depending on your requirements and size of the order we can look into integrating with your system.
- Existing Integrations
- Design My Night – to control our systems using DMN booking reference numbers you will need to provide your DMN API key. In some instances, DMN will charge for access to this key (typically £25/week).
- Briq – we are in the process of integrating with this system. Briq charge 2% of online transactions plus a card processing fee (~1.5% + 20p).
Data Platform
We capture data in granular detail so that you can make informed decisions on the way you run your businesses. You can track all aspects of usage to assess performance, profitability and opportunities to improve and amend the way you charge. This is provided free of charge as part of the system.
We also use the data platform as a basis for billing.
