Duckpin. Redefined.
More guests. Longer stays. Higher spend. A compact duckpin lane that fits where a full alley never could.
Big-lane energy. Small-lane footprint.
Take everything people love about bowling, the roll, the crash, the cheer, and shrink the lane. The Duck is a streamlined duckpin system that slots into a bar, a lounge or a rooftop without the build-out of a full bowling alley.
The ball fits in one hand and has no finger holes, so there is nothing to size and nothing to explain. First-timers are rolling within a minute; the competitive crowd is still at it an hour later.
A masterpiece for limited spaces.
Five details that make The Duck easier to fit, easier to run and easier to love, for the venue and for every guest who picks up a ball.
Nobody waits. Everybody plays.
Short lanes mean short turns. The ball comes back fast, the pins go down loud, and the next player is already up. There is no lull for a group to lose interest in.
It works as the main event or in the background of one. A birthday turns into a tournament, a team night turns into a rivalry, and two guests at the bar play a frame between rounds without putting their drinks down.
That is the moment people remember, and the reason they come back with more friends.
Put your quietest corner to work.
Most venues have a space that never quite earns its keep: the far end of the bar, a hotel lounge after dinner, an empty zone in an entertainment centre. The Duck is sized for exactly that space.
It goes into the layout you already have. No major renovation and no technical staff, and once it is running it keeps guests at the venue for another hour. An extra hour means another round of drinks, another plate on the table, and a group that books again next month.
Runs itself from open to close.
Your team is there to serve guests, not to fix machines. The Duck is built so that a quiet Tuesday and a sold-out Saturday feel the same behind the counter.
Quiet and low-maintenance, with consistent performance from the first game of the day to the last.
Names, teams, formats and scores in one place. New staff learn it on their first shift.
Colour along the lane that sets the mood for the room and gives the lanes a modern presence.
Build the evening around the lanes.
The Duck works on its own. These three additions cover what happens before, during and between games.
Guests book a lane, order food and pay on a touchscreen, then walk straight to play. The queue at the counter disappears and your staff get their hands back.
Prompts for an extra game or a combo deal appear at the right moment, while you keep full control of prices, time slots and availability.

A touchscreen at the lane that puts the game in the players’ hands: pick a mode, fix a name, check the score or pause for food, without calling anyone over.
It is small enough for the tightest layout and clear enough that first-time players never have to ask.

Curved lounge seating with built-in LED lighting, in the colours of your venue. It gives spectators somewhere to sit, and gives the lanes a room around them.
Built for busy nights and spilled drinks.
