How Two Units and Two Upgrade Configurations Generated Paid Municipal Rental Revenue During the Christmas SeasonThis winter case study examines how the City of Ontario deployed two MEGA Maze Arena units side by side, each running a different upgrade configuration, to drive ticketed revenue at the same event. One unit operated as the Winter Wonderland Scavenger Hunt Maze rented at $1,450, while the second ran Santa’s Toy Workshop rented at $1,100, along with the base MEGA Maze rental — for a total of $3,550 in rental revenue for a single afternoon at Christmas on Euclid 2025.
With minimal staffing requirements and a centralized punch-based wristband system controlling access, both maze units delivered steady participation and repeat play throughout the event. The combination of low labor, high throughput, and unified ticketing made the inflatable maze rentals a major revenue generator for the City of Ontario and a clear real-world example of how this model performs during the Christmas season. A High-ROI Christmas Upgrade That Sleighs Wintertime Revenue Without a Lot of LaborThis event wasn’t theory or projection — it was field proof. Santa’s Training Workshop ran as a Christmas upgrade to the MEGA Maze Arena for a union holiday open house in San Bernardino, CA and delivered $3,700 in revenue during a single 4-hour window with a two-person crew. One maze. One upgrade. One evening of work.
This post breaks down the numbers, the setup, the labor, the gameplay, and the demand behind it — and shows exactly why this Christmas upgrade performs for MEGA Maze owners during the busiest month of the year. A real-world look at how this haunted maze pulled in over $3,400 during a two-hour Halloween event — and why it’s one of the strongest seasonal profit generators for operators.When you’re evaluating a Halloween attraction, nothing speaks louder than real numbers in a real environment. During a two-hour Halloween night at Pepperdine University, the MEGA Maze Haunt Upgrade operated as a high-ticket rental that brought in over $3,400 on its own. One crew, one setup, one evening. College crowds ran it nonstop, the scares landed every time, and the maze proved exactly why entreprenuers use this upgrade to boost fall revenue fast. For anyone building a seasonal lineup or looking to expand into Halloween events, this case study shows what the Haunt Upgrade can deliver in the field. The City of Ontario brought holiday cheer and crowd-pleasing entertainment to life with their 2024 Christmas on Euclid celebration — and our Winter Wonderland Discovery Scavenger Hunt Maze played a starring role. This seasonal upgrade of the MEGA Maze Arena delivered a fun, family-friendly experience that also proved to be a revenue generator for the event. Unlike free-play setups, all attractions at this event were ticket-based, demonstrating just how well this unit performs in pay-to-play environments. Whether you're looking to rent out something high-throughput or use it yourself to generate direct revenue, this activation was a case study in both.
