Play Playground Nashville combines larger-than-life physical games, food and beverage, nightlife, group outings, and corporate events in the heart of downtown Nashville. Its active format creates a strong use case for portable charging: guests are moving through the experience rather than sitting near an outlet.

The Opportunity

Some venues are naturally better fits for portable charging than others.

Play Playground is a strong example.

The Nashville location is built around large-scale interactive games and challenges rather than traditional arcade or VR experiences. Guests move between games, social spaces, food and drinks, and a rooftop lounge. The venue also caters to group occasions ranging from birthdays and bachelor or bachelorette parties to team building and corporate events.

That combination matters for a ChargerGoGo distribution partner.

Guests in this environment have plenty of reasons to keep their phones available: coordinating with their group, taking photos and videos, posting to social media, accessing transportation, communicating, and continuing their night in downtown Nashville.

Play Playground itself promotes its venue around group interaction and “social media-worthy photo ops.”

The key opportunity is mobility.

In an experience designed around moving, competing, drinking, and socializing, requiring someone to remain next to a wall outlet would work against the way the venue is meant to be experienced.

The Approach

The ChargerGoGo deployment addressed that mobility challenge with one C20 Pro positioned at the venue entrance.

The exact prospecting path and original sales conversation were not documented for this case study, so they should not be presented as fact.

What the deployment does show is a useful positioning strategy for similar venues: do not sell charging as another piece of equipment. Sell the ability for guests to keep participating.

Portable power lets a guest take the battery with them instead of choosing between charging their phone and continuing the experience.

Entrance placement also creates a logical guest touchpoint. Visitors can see charging access as they arrive and know that power is available before moving deeper into an active venue.

For an operator, the proposition is simple: give guests access to charging without requiring the venue to redesign the experience around stationary charging areas.

The Results

Since the March 2026 installation, the C20 Pro at Play Playground Nashville has averaged approximately:

3–4 power bank rentals per day.

That ongoing usage provides a clear proof point: guests are using the service in a venue built around active entertainment.

The deployment also received public recognition from Play Playground leadership. In a LinkedIn post discussing the role of charging as a guest-experience and marketing tool, Play Playground CEO Phil Royle encouraged guests to:

“Grab a ChargerGoGo battery at PLAY Playground Las Vegas or Nashville!”

For distribution partners, the significance is not simply the rental count. It is evidence that portable charging has a practical role inside an experience where guests want to keep moving, playing, capturing content, and socializing.

What Distribution Partners Can Learn

1. Target venues where guests move

Interactive entertainment, experiential attractions, bowling concepts, social gaming, nightlife, indoor golf, activity bars, and similar businesses can be strong prospects because the customer journey is mobile.

Look for venues where telling a guest to “charge at the wall” does not fit the experience.

2. Sell continued participation, not electricity

The stronger conversation is not:

“Do you need a phone charging station?”

It is:

“What happens when a guest's phone starts dying halfway through the experience?”

That opens a broader discussion around photos, social sharing, group coordination, mobile payments, rideshare, and staying engaged with the venue.

3. Think about the guest journey when choosing placement

At Play Playground Nashville, the station sits at the entrance.

For similar venues, prioritize locations guests naturally pass through and can easily recognize. Visibility can be as important as physical proximity to the activity itself.

Reusable Sales Talking Point

Guests at experiential entertainment venues are constantly moving, taking photos, coordinating with friends, and sharing the experience from their phones. ChargerGoGo gives them a portable way to stay charged without leaving the activity or being tied to a wall outlet.

Your Next Move

Identify three interactive entertainment or nightlife venues in your market where guests spend extended time moving through the experience, then use Play Playground as the example in your next outreach conversation.
