Founding Venue Program
Cool Cat Games is onboarding its first venue partners. Founding venues get setup support, feature input, and early access to new game formats.
Server and hardware options
Run Cool Cat Games locally on approved venue hardware with guided installation and license activation, or choose hardware we quote and configure.
Guided installation on approved hardware

We can quote a dedicated venue server, configure it, and prepare it for your network and display setup.

Managed plans include hardware planning, remote launch support, and setup guidance for screens and staff devices.
Venue server guidance
