The Challenge
A real-world event, a one-night window, and a brand to bring alive.
Lap of Lights had the venue, the spectacle, and the audience. What it needed was a way to turn passive walkers into active participants — without commissioning a custom-built app for a single evening.
Hold attendee attention
Big crowds, long routes — and a real risk of the experience flattening into a walk past lights.
Keep the immersion intact
The activation lives or dies on atmosphere. Anything generic on-screen would shatter the world.
Guide the flow
Spread thousands of attendees across the circuit so no zone overcrowds and no installation goes missed.
Brand it end-to-end
Custom identity across every surface — without committing to a multi-month standalone app build.
The Experience
One scan, and the circuit became playable.
Attendees scanned a QR code at the gate, opened the ReadySet app, and entered the event code. From the first tap, the activation owned the screen — the map, the missions, the leaderboards, the world.
Branded surface
Every screen wore the activation.
Splash, map, mission cards, leaderboard — themed end-to-end in the event's pink-and-electric-blue identity. No off-the-shelf chrome.
Custom checkpoints
The track became the board.
Light installations, partner pavilions, and hidden moments along the circuit became scannable checkpoints with their own gameplay logic.
One app, one code
In the experience, in seconds.
Attendees downloaded the ReadySet app, entered the event code, and were inside the branded experience instantly — no account, no friction.
The Festive World
A custom 3D world wrapped around the circuit.
The Silverstone circuit was re-imagined as a Lap of Lights playable map — renamed corners, branded in-app moments, and a cast of pickable racer characters carrying the identity from join screen to outro.
The board
The Silverstone circuit, re-mapped as a Lap of Lights playable world.
Pick your racer
Branded outro
A cast, not a crowd
Pick a racer. Run the lights.
Custom 3D characters slot straight into the branded experience — giving every attendee an identity inside the world, not just a username on a leaderboard.
The Technology Layer
A branded layer, not a custom app.
Agencies and enterprise event teams use ReadySet as the engine underneath — keeping the build cycle short, the customization deep, and the operational lift low.
A branded layer, not a new app
Skip the 6-month app build. ReadySet provides the engine; your activation provides the world.
Deployable at venue scale
Thousands of concurrent participants, multi-zone maps, and ops dashboards built for live event teams.
Customizable end-to-end
Theme, missions, checkpoints, leaderboards — every layer is yours to brand and reshape per activation.
The phone disappears into the activation. It's not a tool — it's another light along the circuit.
Outcomes
What the activation actually delivered.
No invented numbers. The wins were in the texture of the night — and in how cleanly the format scales to the next activation.
Immersion held
The screens read as part of the world. No 'app moment' broke the spell of the lights.
Brand consistency, end-to-end
From splash to leaderboard, every interaction lived inside the activation's identity.
Active participation
Attendees moved with intent, discovered hidden zones, and stayed engaged across the full route.
Scalable for the next one
The same engine re-themes for the next activation — same ops playbook, brand-new world.
What this proved
A flagship the next activation can stand on.
Branded delivery
An end-to-end branded surface deployed in weeks — without commissioning a standalone app for a single evening.
Real-world scale
Multi-thousand attendees joined through the ReadySet app with a code at the gate. No IT tickets, no second-class spectators.
Repeatable engine
The same production playbook re-themes for the next client edition — agency-ready, enterprise-ready.
What organizers say
ReadySet transformed Lap of Lights into an interactive adventure with strong engagement, high completion rates, and excellent guest feedback.
