EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A B2B ARCADE SYSTEM

Most kids from the 80’s have one thing in common. They know the Arcade Machine intimately.

Many of us remember the euphoria seeing our names on the leaderboard the first time. And the shared moments where friends and families got together for play. Arcade Machines would become the genesis of the gaming industry and def ined an entire generation of kids with memories, now stored as powerful untapped childhood emotion —- Nostalgia.

Atari’s co-founder Nolan Bushnell was partly responsible for that arcade nostalgia.

Cut to 2020, and the age of the pandemic saw most industries in the world face severe recession. With the exception of the gaming industry that went parabolic. As blockchain technology merged with gaming, a new revolution in gaming began.

Present day 2022. Web3 has introduced a new way for gamers to sell, rent, trade and stake their in-game bling, skins and XP. Basically, anything they pay for. Players now have ownership of their game assets and a way to earn from it.

Your play times can now be monetised.
This boom sent hundreds of new projects
flooding the markets, each one looking for an audience and community to connect with.

However, a glut quickly formed, making it
increasingly difficult for buyers & collectors to find truly original and innovative projects. Poorly made games flooded the market, and many copy cat & derivative collections followed.

It became overwhelming for the new user to keep track of all their communities, find good new projects to ape into, and keep all their information in one place. This was one of many reasons we created Light One.

Light One is an 80’s inspired arcade machine for the future, created to streamline someones web3 user experience and for companies looking for an exciting new doorway into a private community to play and network with.

By harnessing the the power of blockchain, smart contracts, NFT’s, utility tokens, and a little lighting in a bottle, Light One is the first product company that aims to bring play back to work.

For that, we needed games that were quick, easy to play, and brought in a crowd. (During lunch time of course!)
So we partnered with the son of the godfather of gaming — Tyler Bushnell to power our Light One machines with Polycade’s retro- modern gaming marketplace.

Light One is a hybrid console that will carry a collection of legendary arcade games, modern steam games, as well as blockchain games where you’ll have ownership of your assets and discover a new earning potential. You’ll also be linked by a shared communal experience through a private B2B community who can network via a social gaming experience called Play-To-Meet, and who pays for lunch.

Limited to only 999 pieces in our first run, our wall-mounted arcades are crafted to elevate any event space, office lounge, or a CEO’s office in need of a conversation piece or a piece of nostalgia.

We might be the new kid on the block, but we know exactly what the world needs more of. More Play. And we’re here to bring it to work. Light One is a retro futuristic machine nobody knew they needed, until now.
