What is Swarm Steer?

Swarm Steer is a white-label 3D flock-steering game for trade show booths and brand events. The player drags a finger, or a mouse, to steer a flock of birds through 12 glowing hoops at golden hour while dodging hawks, wind turbines, crosswinds, storm cells and spinning bars. At the end the surviving birds swirl into your logo, which locks in as a silhouette against the sun and then resolves into full colour. A short lead form after the score leads to a leaderboard. Your team sets it up ahead in the built-in setup panel: your logo, theme colours and every line of wording.

Read the Swarm Steer video transcript

Drag to steer a flock of birds through glowing hoops. A three-second how-to, then a 3-2-1 countdown. Twelve gates in four phases. Clean passes build a combo. Each hazard phase opens with an on-screen warning. Hawks, turbines, crosswinds, storms and spinning bars. The surviving birds form your logo. Score, today's rank and run stats. Lead form built in; where it sits is a setting. Today's top 10, with the visitor highlighted. Colours, logo and copy are configuration: Tidewell Robotics, a fictional demo brand. Colours, logo and copy are configuration: Brightkiln Studio, a fictional demo brand.

What Swarm Steer does for your booth

  • Stop visitors with a game that reads from across the aisle: golden-hour skies, a swirling flock and hazards that arrive in phases
  • End every run on your logo, and show it again on the attract screen, the results and the leaderboard
  • Capture leads after the score, with the fields and consent wording you choose
  • Rebrand the game and change its rules yourself, without a developer

How Swarm Steer works at your booth

  1. 1

    An attract loop flies a full lap by itself and ends on your logo, and a visitor touches the screen to play.

  2. 2

    A three-second how-to card and a 3-2-1 countdown start the run.

  3. 3

    The visitor drags to steer a flock of birds through 12 glowing hoops in four phases.

  4. 4

    Hawks, turbines, crosswinds, storm cells and spinning bars get in the way, and each hazard phase opens with a warning.

  5. 5

    The surviving birds swirl into your logo, and the results show the score, today's rank and run stats.

  6. 6

    The visitor can enter a name and email on a short lead form, then sees today's top 10 with their row highlighted.

Swarm Steer FAQ

How long is each run, and how does scoring work?

A run is about 41 seconds of play: roughly 36 seconds of flight and a 4-second finale, after a 3-second how-to and a 3-second countdown. Clean passes through the 12 gates build a combo. The results show the score, today's rank, perfect gates, flock saved and best combo, and the leaderboard ranks by score with flock saved as the tiebreak. Run length (short, standard or long) and a Relaxed, Standard or Expert preset are set in the setup panel.

How does my logo appear in the game?

At the end of every run the surviving birds swirl into your logo: it locks in as a dark silhouette in front of the sun, then resolves into your real logo in full colour. The same logo is on the attract screen, the results and the leaderboard. The setup panel shows a live preview and warns if a logo has too little detail.

Does Swarm Steer capture leads?

Yes. After the score, a short form asks for a first name and work email, with an optional company field and consent wording you set. You choose the fields, and you can ask before play instead or let players skip it. Export the leads as CSV or XLSX from the setup panel, behind the operator PIN.

Can we run it on more than one device?

Yes. One licence covers one device and can be configured to cover multiple devices. Leads are stored on the device that collected them, so export from each one.

How quickly can Swarm Steer be ready for our event?

What happens after the event?
