At Bayou Software, we love building engaging and interactive experiences, so when Renlo Recruitment approached us to create a custom maze arcade game for their event, we knew it could be something very special. Using Unity, we developed a fully branded arcade game with custom models, visual effects, and gameplay tweaks to fit the theme of their recruitment event.
The Concept: Classic Arcade with a Modern Twist
Renlo Recruitment wanted an interactive attraction that would:
✅ Draw in attendees with nostalgic and cheeky arcade gameplay
✅ Poke fun at stereotypical bullish Recruitment Agents by having the main character gobble them up
✅ Showcase their branding in a fun and engaging way
✅ Keep things simple so anyone could pick up and play
We decided on a maze chase inspired by the likes of Pac-Man and CD-Man, where players had to navigate through a corporate-themed environment, collecting points and eating recruitment agents —all while staying true to Renlo’s brand identity.
Building the Game in Unity
Using Unity, we built a game loop that mirrored classic maze-chase mechanics but introduced some new elements:
Custom Models & Environment
We created a fully 3D world with custom-designed walls, floors, and collectible objects that were designed around Renlo’s brand identity.
Custom VFX & Branding
To make the game feel polished and exciting, we added visual effects that reinforced the brand’s identity:
- Particle effects when collecting items
- Dynamic lighting to give a modern arcade feel
- Animated UI elements using Renlo’s logo and colors
Gameplay Mechanics & Engagement
- Simple, accessible controls: Anyone could pick up and play in seconds.
- Time-based scoring: Players competed to collect as many points as possible before time ran out.
- Power-ups: We introduced temporary boosts to shake things up—like a “Networking Boost” that made players invincible for a few seconds.
Event Success & Takeaways
The game was a success at the event, drawing in attendees and creating a fun, memorable way to interact with the Renlo brand.
- It provided a unique icebreaker, helping recruiters and job seekers engage in a more relaxed setting.
- The game showcased how gamification can enhance corporate branding and events.
