Overview
In December 2025, Mégarex in Haguenau, France, set out to redefine the indoor bowling experience for its customers. Instead of a simple facelift, it made a strategic jump into immersive digital entertainment.
In collaboration with AV systems integrator ADDE and our local INFiLED team, it installed a high-impact 28-meter LED screen, built from our robust and flexible MV Series. The packed-with-pixels screen was designed to surround the players with a visual and sonic feast, transforming their games into an almost cinematic experience.

The Vision: Visuals To Bowl Them Over
The Mégarex at Haguenau, France, is the town’s epicenter for entertainment. It’s packed with fun stuff to do, such as megascreens and oh-so-comfy seats for film buffs; a 16-lane fluorescent bowling alley; a cute bar for that post-bowling thirst; an old-school billiards room; and the latest in video games.
But Mégarex wanted to be more than the go-to place for good times. Its strategic direction was to differentiate its bowling offer from its competitors by amplifying the bowling experience for customers of all ages. Guided by visual maestros ADDE, it envisioned a dynamic, visually immersive experience for players that would:
- Enhance the excitement, pace and memorability of customer visits.
- Have the control and flexibility to build different atmospheres and “feels” that could shift, depending on the time of day, type of event or type of customer. It wanted the choice to create high-energy animations for peak times; bright, happy atmospheres for family sessions; clean scoring visuals for league nights; or refined, customized visual moods for private events. And that was just for starters.
- Double as a branding and marketing tool.
- Look incredible every day for at least the next ten years. No short-term marketing gimmick, this.
The Challenge: Ambitious LED Screen, Fast Turnaround
A chunky strategic vision usually comes with its share of challenges, and this project was no exception. Installing a 28-meter LED display inside a bustling entertainment hub is no mean feat. Long installation times means less revenue for Mégarex and disruption for customers, and no-one wanted that. No-one.
For a quick-but-perfect installation, it needed:
- Tight planning and co-ordination.
- Installation speed and precision for minimal downtime and fast capitalization on the new-look lanes.
- Trusted installation standards that wouldn’t compromise safety.
- A robust, reliable, low-maintenance LED screen that performed in all lighting conditions and was capable of withstanding structural vibration. And, potentially, a poorly-aimed bowling ball.
