EDGE 7.0 is here, bringing sleek new visuals that showcase your games and scoreboards like never before! We’ve modernized EDGE’s UI framework, added customizable themes that reflect your unique brand, and created a secondary screen for your scoreboards. It’s time to elevate your operation with the latest EDGE has to offer—check it out!

Structural updates aren’t always the most visible, but they make a big difference in how software performs and evolves. With EDGE 7.0, we’ve modernized the framework powering the underlying user interface. These changes lead to smoother operation, improved stability, and a streamlined UI development process. With this upgrade, EDGE gets access to the newest UI development tools resulting in greater reliability and a stronger platform for future innovations!

Combining the power of Battle Company systems with your unique arena produces something much more than a game of laser tag—it’s a live-action experience. Every detail, from the gameplay to the atmosphere, contributes to the memories your customers take home. That’s why EDGE 7.0 is introducing one of its most exciting UI features yet: Themes! Your business is one-of-a-kind, and your screens should complement your style. With this update, we’re giving you ways to personalize your EDGE displays so they uniquely match the look and feel of your battlefield.

Whether your arena screams “high-tech future” or “rugged battleground,” these new themes better align with the environment you envision for your business. It’s all about immersing your players in the experience and helping your brand stand out like never before!

With multiple themes to choose from, Battle Company gives your business options! Themes are assigned on the game level, meaning you can use more than one in your EDGE system. Want a more playful theme for your birthday parties and something a little more gritty for your open play nights? No problem, EDGE can do it! These new layouts not only elevate the player-experience but also give you a powerful new tool to broaden your arena’s appeal. It’s yet another advantage of being a Battle Company customer!

With the new themes and branding features in EDGE 7.0, the last thing you want is for customers to see your staff clicking through menus and settings during game setup. The new Secondary Screen support solves this by separating behind-the-scenes work from the player-facing displays. In the past, mirroring your EDGE screen to show scoreboards often revealed setup activity to your guests. Now, players stay focused on the action while you manage everything discreetly on a separate screen. It’s an improvement that ensures the atmosphere in your arena remains fluid and uninterrupted.

EDGE 7.0 doesn’t stop at Themes—it goes further by putting your brand front and center. During downtime and in between games, your logo now takes the spotlight on your scoreboard screens—maintaining a polished, on-brand experience that reinforces your identity with every customer interaction.

EDGE 7.0 takes another step forward by improving the operator experience and creating more engaging visuals for your customers. With additional optimizations and usability upgrades EDGE gives your business better tools for making amazing experiences!

Now that I am back from the chaos of IAAPA, I was able to step back and reflect on the show, our company, and the many discussions I had at our booth. I wanted to share some quick thoughts about us and the industry as a whole.

A term I heard mentioned more often this year at the show was ‘Social Gaming.’ For us at Battle Company, social gaming has always been at the heart of what we do. We all know attractions such as laser tag have thrived because of social interaction. When things like Virtual Reality popped up, players became isolated into smaller groups with headsets and digital avatars, losing the face-to-face experiences, laughter, smiles, and seeing the excitement that are at the core of social gaming. For a time, some Operators were convinced the virtual world would somehow be better than reality. But it’s clear… Simple and fun real-life interactions experienced together are the heart and soul of family entertainment.
