Foot Pedal

Turn a foot pedal into the controller of your game. Players stamp on the pedal to start a round, react, stop, steer or jump, so the game can be played without touching the screen. It works with any game button or screen that can be given a key, such as Lights Out, Stop On Target, Perfect Alignment, Lane Runner and the Runner Style Game.

How the Foot Pedal Works

Step up to the Pedal

Players stand at the screen, with the foot pedal on the floor in front of them.

Step on It to Start

A press on the pedal starts the round, exactly like tapping the start button. Games that start by themselves open with a countdown instead.

Play With the Foot

Players stamp on the pedal to react, stop, steer or jump, depending on the game. Each press does exactly what a tap would.

Continue the Journey

The result shows at the end of the round. Players can join a leaderboard, unlock a reward or play again, depending on the campaign setup.

Campaign in Action

What You Can Create

Reaction challengeIn Lights Out, players stamp on the pedal the instant the lights go out, and their reaction time is measured in milliseconds.

Stop on targetIn Stop On Target, one press starts the round and the next press stops the moving mark.

Line it upIn Perfect Alignment, one press starts the round and the next press freezes the moving copies.

Jump and collectIn the Runner Style Game, each stamp makes the runner jump to clear obstacles and collect items.

Steer with two pedalsIn Lane Runner, each arrow takes its own key, so two pedals steer the vehicle left and right, one lane per press.

What the Foot Pedal Can Do for Your Campaign

Hands-Free Play

Players control the game with their feet instead of tapping a screen, which sets the booth apart.

Closer to the Real Thing

A stamp on a pedal feels like a driver’s start, a natural fit for motoring and sports brands.

Instantly Understood

One pedal and one action, so players know what to do the moment they step up.

Quick Rounds, More Players

In reaction games each round takes only a few seconds, so the queue keeps moving and players step on the pedal again to beat their time.

Any game button or screen that can be given a key responds to the pedal, from reaction games to runners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Foot Pedal?

The Foot Pedal is an interactive prop that lets players control a qiksense game with their foot. The pedal sends a key press, and any game button or screen given that key responds exactly as if it had been tapped.

Which games work with a foot pedal?

Lights Out, Stop On Target, Perfect Alignment, Lane Runner and the Runner Style Game. A pedal can also press Submit on a form or quiz, start a print or trigger a reward download.

Can one pedal start the round and play it?

Yes. Give the start button and the game the same key. In Lights Out, pressing the pedal starts the round, and pressing it again reacts.

What kind of pedal works?

Any foot pedal that sends a key press. The brake or throttle pedal of a connected racing wheel can also be used in Lights Out and Lane Runner.

Do players still need the touch screen?

Not when every control in the game is given the pedal’s key. At the Audi and adidas Lights Out Challenge, fans started, reacted and played again with the pedal alone.

Can the game screens be customised?

Yes. Backgrounds, instructions and result screens can carry your campaign art, including a prompt that tells players to step on the pedal.
